Niccolò Fattorini

Niccolò Fattorini is a Researcher in the Department of Life Sciences at the University of Siena, holding a fixed-term position under Italian Law 240/10. He teaches the course 'Animal Behavior for Biodiversity Conservation' for the Master's Degree in Biodiversity, Conservation and Environmental Quality during the 2024/2025 academic year.

His research focuses on behavioral ecology and conservation biology, with expertise in wildlife behavior within protected areas. Key interests include wild boar ecology (rooting behavior as density indicators), ungulate social dynamics (signal-based hierarchy determination), and stress ecology in extreme environments like Antarctica. He employs non-destructive monitoring methods to link behavioral observations to conservation outcomes.

Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate consistent investigation of animal behavior as ecological indicators, spanning wild boar density metrics in European protected areas, social signaling in ungulates, and stress physiology in Antarctic seabirds—highlighting applied connections between ethology and environmental management.
