Over 100 researchers gathered today & tomorrow at the Certosa di Pontignano of @unisiena for the scientific workshop of Spoke 3 of the National Biodiversity Future Center. @nbfc_italy. Today's sessions cover alpha-taxonomy, conservation, and citizen science.
6 projects selected for #BGE BIOSCAN funding!
Last November, we opened a #fundingcall for projects contributing to the development of #DNAbarcoding#referencelibraries for species in Europe. 🧬

A new Italian endemic species of #blisterbeetles!🪲🧬🇮🇹Happy to share our new paper (@Lu_Spago) on Insect Systematics and Diversity (@EntsocAmerica) exploring biogeographic affinities of three italian endemic lineages of the genus Meloe. @nbfc_italy https://t.co/RIK2vaLRE2
Are Cave Salamanders arboreal?
Yes, in Sardinia they really enjoy climbing trunks and brushes of Mediterranean maquis trees. They are also on the verge of extinction and we are working with @SpeciesFund for their conservation
📢New paper out in @ESAEcosphere! 🥳
Can we predict cooccurrence patterns from species traits using machine learning? Yes!

So lucky to spot an Eurasian river otter (Lutra lutra) enjoying a fish on a rocky shore in #Lofoten islands, few weeks ago. Enjoy its cute appetite! 🤠 @ale_riccieri
p.s. it was the max zooming possible xD
Ever heard about Meloetyphlus? Check out our new paper to know more about this fascinating neotropical blister beetle! @EntsocAmerica@OUPAcademic#blisterbeetles https://t.co/WHvkLFoo1M
Last June 2nd, I and ecologist Francesco Cerini run a participatory action with the local people of Montebello di Bertona to observe and get to know the biodiversity hosted in the water of the municipality troughs.
