Antonio Carapelli

Antonio Carapelli is a Full Professor at the University of Siena's Department of Life Sciences, where he teaches courses including Eukaryotic Genomics and Genetic Variation (Master's in Biology), Molecular Applied Zoology (Master's in Biodiversity, Conservation and Environmental Quality), and Zoology (Bachelor's in Biological Sciences). His office hours are held on Tuesdays, and he can be contacted via email or phone.

His research, conducted through the Evolutionary and Systematic Zoology Laboratory, spans evolutionary zoology, genomics, and biodiversity conservation, with a focus on molecular mechanisms in insects and environmental health. Key areas include:

• Insect-mediated biodegradation processes
• Population genetics of Antarctic species
• Genomic analysis of invasive beetles
• Integrated pest management strategies

His recent publications (2024–2025) predominantly explore genetic adaptation in insects, with emphases on invasive species control, environmental biodegradation, and polar ecosystem resilience. No awards or supervised students are documented.
