Prof. Fabio Bulleri completed his Ph.D. at the Centre for Ecological Impacts of Coastal Cities of the University of Sydney (Australia) in 2003. Later, he worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the Universities of Bologna, Pisa and Sassari. In 2011, he was appointed as a researcher at the Department of Biology of the University of Pisa and, in 2015, he was advanced to associate professor. He has conducted research on interactions between marine herbivores and primary producers, the effects of coastal development on benthic communities and the mechanisms regulating the establishment and spread of introduced macroalgae both in temperate and tropical regions. More recently, his research has focused on the impacts of global climate changes on marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning and on the role of positive species interactions as a tool to rescue species under future climate scenarios.
