Laini’s work integrates DNA metabarcoding, statistical ecology, and functional trait analysis to study ecosystem services, invasion biology, and conservation strategies. His recent publications explore topics such as n-dimensional hypervolume modeling, behavioral syndromes in insects, and climate-driven shifts in riverine communities.

His research leverages advanced methodologies like environmental DNA analysis and ecohydrological modeling to address challenges in biodiversity monitoring and aquatic ecosystem health. Key collaborations span European rivers, hypersaline lakes, and Mediterranean valleys, reflecting a transnational approach to ecological studies.
