Davide Sogliani earned a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the University of Pavia, where he studied mosquito–virus interactions in Aedes mosquitoes.
In mammalogy, his main interests include invasive alien species, carnivores, and lagomorphs, with a focus on predator–prey/intraguild interactions, wildlife diseases, and population genetics.
A complete list of his publications is available on his Google Scholar profile linked below.
