💥Our #Biodiversity #Monitoring South Tyrol has officially kicked-off the ❕6th #fieldwork season of the #terrestrial program 🪲🌸 and alongside already dives into this year's 🌊 #aquatic monitoring.🦋 🪱🦇🌿🕷️🦗

Together with colleagues from Eurac Research and Universität Innsbruck @[email protected] we will host session 35 on #biodiversity #Monitoring . Looking forward to your abstracts with a specific focus on #mountainbiodiversity monitoring... there is so much more to do in #mountains !

Follow our #scientists into the #underground bunkers of WWII in search of their mesmerizing inhabitants: #Bats . 🦇🔦

A journey along an #Alpine #river reveals the various ways of use, from work to vacation, and how these can impact each other. Conflicts between different users arise especially in times of #drought , highlighting the complex dynamics of water resources.

Happy #WorldWaterDay ! 💧We'd like to use this opportunity to spotlight the importance of clean water for ecosystems and people. Curious about how our limnologists use macroinvertebrates to monitor the health of our mountain streams?

The #PlasticFree project is go! We'll identify & quantify the prevalence microplastics in freshwater and its organisms. The team already began sampling river water, sediment, and aquatic invertebrates for #microplastic analysis.

Il #fringuello alpino è una specie particolarmente rappresentativa delle aree aperte d’alta quota. Uno #studio a cui abbiamo partecipato ha osservato alcuni dati preoccupanti per lo stato di #salute di questa specie.
