Gabriele Procaccini
Interessi scientifici: ecologia evolutiva di popolazioni e specie di organismi marini. Comprensione del loro potenziale adattativo in risposata ai cambiamenti ed ai clini ambientali. Studio delle basi molecolari che sono alla base dell’adattamento a livello sia genotipico che genetico, attraverso approcci di tipo filogeografico, di genetica di popolazione e di genomica ambientale.
