Will we know if we have "bent the curve" of biodiversity loss? Our paper tackling this question is out today in Science Advances “Global monitoring for #biodiversity: uncertainty, risk and power analyses to support trend change detection” science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Very happy to be at Unimol for the XIII meeting of the Italian Theriological Association, to show some results related to my PhD project on ecological modelling! 🦫

Thrilled to announce that the 2nd Conference for Early Career Researchers (#ECR) of SCB Italy will be hosted in L'Aquila at Università degli Studi dell'Aquila! Looking forward to welcoming everyone to our beautiful city! #SCB #ConservationBiology @SCBEurope

Tra qualche mese aprirà la call for abstracts per il prossimo convegno ECR della SCBItaly che si terrà presso l'Università dell'Aquila 😍 Stay tuned 😎

The 2nd Conference for Early Career Researchers of the Society for Conservation Biology (Italy Chapter) will be held in L’Aquila! ⛰️ Don’t miss this opportunity to meet new friends and spread your research! 🌱 Call for abstracts and travel grants will be open very soon! 🚀

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

Peer review bullying - an overlooked form of academic bullying - is unfair & potentially aggressive behavior by reviewers It includes: - unconstructive criticism - ad hominem attacks - unfair bias - double standards - intentional delays - idea theft cell.com/trends/ecology…

A stunning male roe #deer in the Central #Apennines, showcasing its characteristic marking behavior: pawing the ground with its sharp front hooves (scraping) and rubbing its antlers and forehead against tree trunks and bushes. A mesmerizing look at this creature! 🦌

Manca pochissimo alla 2° Conferenza di Biologia della Conservazione per giovani ricercatori che si terrà all’Aquila dal 6 al 9 maggio. Siete pronti? Vi ricordiamo che tutte le informazioni relative al convegno sono disponibili al seguente sito: scbitaly.org/ecr-2025/

First workshop of #ECR2025 here at Università degli Studi dell'Aquila with Prof. Luca Santini: an introduction to predictive modelling in ecology! 🌱🌍 A big thank you to all the early-career researchers who joined — looking forward to tomorrow’s official kick-off!

Today we dove into the world of ecological modelling with some truly impressive studies! From SDMs to connectivity analyses, these talks showcased how models can drive real-world conservation impact. #ECR2025

Davide on stage at Università degli Studi dell'Aquila presenting a new ecological modeling framework to support reintroduction projects, using the reintroduction of the Eurasian lynx in the Apennines as a case study. A fantastic and provocative intervention! #ECR2025 SCB Italy

Last week I had the pleasure of presenting our new ‘MDS’ framework for reintroduction planning (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dd…) at the 2nd ECR Conference in Conservation Biology, organized by SCB Italy. A great chance to share ideas and connect with amazing researchers!

🛠️ A new tool for biodiversity conservation! Davide et al., developed a framework combining #SDMs, #connectivity, and individual-based models to support #reintroductions planning, demonstrating its use on the Eurasian #lynx in the Apennines. 🌍🧬 doi.org/10.1111/ddi.70…

🧬🍷 #BioSpritz – #Biodiversity #Aperitifs! The starting event, titled "Know them to conserve them: pollinating flies and vineyard management," took place yesterday. Vibrant discussion, and lots of curiosity. Next BioSpritz? 📅 July 14 – stay tuned!
