olfaction in pigeon navigation. She is currently researcher at the 
Biology Department (University of Pisa), where she studies the 
mechanisms underlying birds’ navigation, with a particular interest on 
the role of olfaction in avian navigation. Her research interest also 
focuses on the neural basis of pigeon navigation and the cognitive 
processes underlying spatial behaviours in birds.
