Antonio Terlizzi is a Full Professor in Zoology at the Department of Life Sciences, University of Trieste. He actively participates in the Department's Board and serves as Vice-Coordinator and Member of Doctoral Studies Boards for the Environmental Life Sciences program (Cycles XXXIII to XXXIX). His research focuses on marine coastal systems biodiversity, ecological monitoring, and environmental change mitigation, particularly through projects like MITFISH-N2K (2014-2020) and the active PARAFOULING project (2022-present) targeting invasive sponge anti-fouling solutions.
- Current Roles: Full Professor, Vice-Coordinator Doctoral Board, Researcher in Marine Ecology
- Key Projects: MITFISH-N2K (closed), PARAFOULING (active)
Research Interests span marine biology, coastal ecosystem management, and biodiversity informatics. His work integrates field studies with digital tools for environmental monitoring, particularly in Mediterranean Natura 2000 sites. He has developed methodologies for species distribution modeling and citizen science data validation, contributing to policy frameworks for climate change adaptation.
Recent Publications (2023-2025) emphasize lichen biota digitization, cross-taxon biodiversity patterns, and citizen science applications in ecological monitoring. Articles highlight innovative approaches to historical collection valorization, invasive species modeling, and planetary health integration through data-driven conservation strategies.
- Methodologies: Digital specimen mobilization, ecological niche modeling, citizen science platforms
- Geographic Focus: Mediterranean basin, Dolomite Mountains, Albanian biodiversity networks
