Dr. Giorgio Mancinelli is an Associate Professor of Ecology at University of Salento studying community ecology and biological invasions. His research examines how invasive species like the Atlantic blue crab transform coastal food webs through stable isotope analysis and population monitoring.
Mancinelli leads multiple international projects investigating functional biogeography of invasive crustaceans, including FAO initiatives on blue crab management. His work documents ecological impacts of species introductions across Mediterranean ecosystems, developing assessment frameworks for:
- Trophic position quantification using δ15N analysis
- Metapopulation dynamics in invaded habitats
- Economic consequences for small-scale fisheries
Current research focuses on valorization strategies for invasive species management, turning ecological threats into sustainable resources through coordinated scientific approaches.
