My research integrates genomics, bioinformatics, and conservation biology to address key questions in biodiversity science. I combine approaches from molecular ecology, microbiome research, and evolutionary genomics to study how species diversify, adapt to their environments, and interact with microbial communities. My work has evolved from taxonomic and phylogenetic studies of western Palaearctic invertebrates to the application of high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatic tools across diverse taxa, including mollusks, fishes, mammals, and pollinators. This interdisciplinary perspective allows me to investigate processes such as speciation, local adaptation, and ecological interactions, while also developing genomic biomonitoring approaches to support biodiversity conservation. In particular, my research explores the role of microbiomes in shaping host ecology and resilience, with a current focus on the gut microbiota of pollinators and its implications for ecosystem health and conservation strategies.
