About me
I'm a biologist specialised in freshwater macroinvertebrate identification to species level, with a good knowledge of British and European fauna, and broad experience in the laboratory and the field (UK, Spain, the Netherlands, Africa and Iceland).
My research has always been focused on macroinvertebrate taxonomy, diversity and ecology, with a particular interest on non-biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae).
My interest topics are: freshwater ecology and taxonomy, climate change, human impacts on aquatic systems, restoration measures and invasive species.
