ELVIRA D'BASTIANI

I am a quantitative ecologist in the Bento Lab at the Department of Public and Ecosystem Health, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA.


My research focuses on how pathogen–host interactions shape, and are shaped by, ecological and evolutionary mechanisms and processes across environments and scales, with a particular interest in arboviruses. To achieve this, I integrate elements of ecology, evolutionary history, natural history, network science, mathematical modeling, and empirical data.
