On the edge of extinction: genetic monitoring of the Aeolian wall lizard (Podarcis raffonei) in a fragmented island system
This project started during my postdoc at the University of L'Aquilla, Italy. This project is in collaboration with Daniele Salvi (Italy), funded by the PRIN project HYBRIND the LIFE EOLIZARD project (check it out here)
