Research Interests:
My research interests are centered on two main topics: characterization and understanding of the relationship between ecological patterns at large spatial scales, and application of Bayesian methods to data analysis. Both topics are driven by practical problems: the former by the need to provide sound scientific guidelines to practical problems of conservation, and the latter because I perceive the Bayesian methodology as a more unified approach to data analysis and an easier way to communicate scientific results to managers and policy makers.
Presently, and in line with my interests in large scale ecological pattersns, I'm working on issues dealing with The Unified Neutral Theory of Biology and Biogeography.
