Mirko LIUZZO

Mirko Liuzzo is an Adjunct Professor at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, affiliated with the Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics. His research focuses on ecology, conservation biology, and zoology, particularly in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. He is part of the Research Institute for Green and Blue Growth, contributing to environmental sustainability studies.

Key research interests include invasive species dynamics (e.g., Gambusia holbrooki, Trachemys scripta), turtle conservation (Emys orbicularis), and behavioral ecology of aquatic organisms. His work emphasizes molecular techniques, habitat management, and population dynamics.

Recent publications analyze temperature effects on shrimp parental care, nesting patterns of European pond turtles, and the ecological impacts of invasive species. His studies often bridge theoretical ecology with practical conservation strategies, particularly in wetland and lagoon ecosystems.

Liuzzo collaborates with international teams, as seen in multi-authored publications on Mediterranean killifish and leech-turtle interactions. His research supports biodiversity preservation through empirical field studies and molecular analyses.
