معرفی
Filippo Barbanera is an Associate Professor of Zoology at the Department of Biology, University of Pisa. His research focuses on conservation genetics, avian phylogeography, and the use of molecular tools to study historical biogeography. Key interests include the genetic management of endangered species, museum specimen analysis, and the impacts of human activities on wildlife populations.
Research interests span avian and mammalian systems, with emphasis on species like the red-legged partridge, black francolin, otters, and mouflons. He employs genomic, mitochondrial DNA, and microsatellite techniques to address questions of hybridization, invasive species, and conservation strategies. His work often integrates historical records and museum collections to reconstruct species' past distributions and evolutionary histories.
Publications consistently highlight genetic studies of gamebirds and their conservation implications, as well as phylogeographic analyses of species across Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. His recent work has explored climate change impacts on gamebirds, otter population genetics, and the origins of island populations.
Barbanera collaborates with institutions globally on projects involving biodiversity assessment, museum specimen analysis, and conservation policy development. His research has contributed to national action plans for species like the Corsican mouflon and red-legged partridge.
