Research interests:

(i) Time averaging, stratigraphic mixing and fossilization dynamic of benthic assemblages (southern California shelf, northern Adriatic shelf)

(ii) Macroecology, biogeography, and evolutionary paleobiology of Mesozoic and Cenozoic marine benthic ecosystems at small, regional and provincial scales, mainly along latitudinal, onshore-offshore, and trophic gradients
