Federica Manca

Selected as a WIOSA Intern in spring 2020, Federica’s interests are in the field of marine ecology, with a strong interest in species associations and ecological interactions in marine benthic communities, spanning from tropical to temperate seas. She earned her Bachelors in Biology from University of Milan-Bicocca in Milan, Italy, and her Masters in Marine Biology from the Università Politecnica delle Marche in Ancona, Italy.

Federica is currently pursuing a PhD at the University of Helsinki, where her doctoral project will use ecological network analysis to investigate ecological interactions between macroalgae and seagrasses and their associated fauna in the frame of environmental and climate change.
