ELVIRA D'BASTIANI
I am a quantitative ecologist in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), United States. My research focuses on how ecological and evolutionary processes drive the dynamics of host-parasite interactions. My interests span the causes and implications of these interactions and the impact of host-switching events, particularly in the context of environmental changes. To achieve this, my research integrates elements of ecology, evolutionary history, natural history, network science, mathematical modeling, and empirical data.
