Through my work I aim to enhance our understanding of species adaptation and contribute to effective conservation strategies.
Research
My research interests are broadly focused on invertebrate population ecology exploring survival, distribution, microhabitat use, and habitat trade-offs.
While I have engaged in research across a diverse array of systems, my primary focus is on extreme habitats including caves, karst landscapes, arid regions, and mountainous terrains.
Opiliones
I mainly study harvestmen (Opiliones), investigating their ecological roles, habitat preferences, and survival strategies in extreme environments.
Romania is home to 56 species of harvestmen, each one adapted to unique environmental conditions. In my work I document their diversity, distribution, and ecological importance.
