MUSE - Museo delle Scienze/Science Mu-seum has been inaugurated on 27th July 2013 and visited to December 2015 from over 1,200,000 people. Opening the new museum completed a transition process that lasted al-most 10 years and that involved all the staff, with the research area taking a leading role in defining the scientific contents of the new museum. MUSE is the first museum in Italy that harmoniously blends nature, science and technology.

The building’s outline, designed by the world-famous architect Renzo Piano, recalls the pro-file of the surrounding mountains, with a finely balanced contrast between empty and full spa-ces that adds charm and prestige to the entire exhibition venue. Built on eco-compatible crite-ria, MUSE is a model that sets the standard for a green economy and for energy saving.

MUSE combines characteristics from both tra-ditional natural science museums and modern science centres in a very innovative way. This brand-new layout is enriched by a strong so-cial characteristic that underpins its vocation as a meeting place providing dialogue with visitors. To enhance local background and knowledge, acting as a social venue where people can discuss issues of global importan-ce is the cultural objective of MUSE.

MUSE is a big open space where scientific and technological knowledge are the means used to study the relationship between man and the environment, and at the same time to provide updated information on the available choices for sustainable development. Multi-media exhi-bits, interactive games, hands-on experiments and the practical mixing of culture with DIY are the informal educational tools with which visi-tors can join the scientific debate about impor-tant local and global issues. Specimens and objects exhibited outside glass boxes (“objects at hand”) represent one of the innovative muse-ology designs chosen to solicit visitors’ curiosity and empathic feelings.

The ultimate aim of the new museum is to be a centre of cultural interpretation at the servi-ce of society, dedicated to nature and to the promotion of sustainability, science and inno-vation. MUSE addresses local population by inspiring citizens but it is at the same time an

extraordinary venue for cultural tourism from all over the world.The forecast scenarios and the development programmes promoted by the European Union within the framework of the Europe 2020 programme have identified three main axes, i.e. economy, environment and society, along which to build the idea of the future of our continent. MUSE is aligned with these th-ree pillars, as it has elected as primary feature of its philosophy the dialectic and constructive relationship between development and envi-ronmental sustainability in connection with the contemporary society.To learn how our environment has changed since the beginning of history to our present times means to understand a journey of over 200,000 years, which involves the joint evolu-tion of humanity’s technological skills and its relationship with nature and the landscape. This is one of the strongest and most inno-vative conceptual focuses of MUSE. In this respect the exhibition floor dedicated to pre-history with its succession of themes and ex-periences that are totally new to the interna-tional museum scene, presents a refreshingly simple and direct viewpoint. Reflection, experimentation, a cue for the vi-sitor to return and acquire new educational experience and informal knowledge: MUSE targets a very wide range of visitors by cho-osing not to focus on a specific age group. MUSE supports tourism by attracting visitors who wish to discover the thousands of rela-tions between the MUSE’s themes and the Alpine territory, and in particular curious and attentive families, that are a must in the mu-seum’s tradition, and school groups that find an extraordinary good educational tool in the many exhibitions and workshops offered. All this will help understand the paths to be followed in the fields of energy and of respect and conscious use of natural re-sources, widening the view of individuals to encompass what new technology and bio-technology we could develop in the future, so as to take steps towards a harmonious symbiosis between mankind and the envi-ronment. This is where the investment in fu-ture generations begins.

MUSE manages, in addition to the main mu-seum in Trento, a whole network of centres for scientific dissemination, established during the

last 70 years. In Trentino there are six Satellite Branches (Alpine Botanical Garden, Astronomi-cal observatory "Terrazza delle stelle", Geologi-cal Museum of the Dolomites, “Gianni Caproni” Aeronautical Museum, Pile-dwelling Museum of Lake Ledro, Lake Tovel Limnological Centre). In addition the MUSE has special agreement locations (Arco Arboretum, Centre for Studies Adamello "Julius Payer", The Garibaldi Bezzec-ca Historical Museum, Visitor Centre "Monsi-gnor Ferrari"). In Tanzania, MUSE manages the Udzungwa Ecological Monitoring Centre, a field station annexed to a national park of outstan-ding biodiversity importance.

The research areaMUSE is organized in four Areas managed by the General Directorate and the Administrati-ve Directorate: Cultural mediation, naturalistic

Research, Museum Territorial branches, Ge-neral Services. Each area manages different departments as shown in the picture.

The MUSE has grown and evolved over time, and specifically it comprises about 90 em-ployees, of which 24 in the research staff, in addition to more than 150 collaborators with different non-permanent contract types. The seven research sections (= Research Units) - Botany, Limnology and Phycology, Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology, Verte-brate Zoology, Tropical Biodiversity, Geology, Prehistory, carry out the traditional natural science disciplinary research activities, both basic and applied, in the field of the envi-ronment, however they are commonly dedi-cated to the issue of biodiversity and ecology of mountain ecosystems. Our research in this area concerns the documentation and mo-

nitoring of species and communities that are sensitive to environmental and climate chan-ge as key components of biodiversity in the mountains (alpine, tropical and sub-tropical). In the realm of Earth and Landscape Sciences, the museum explores the geology, morpho-logy, and hydrology of the Alpine region in or-der to document and reconstruct its evolution; it analyses the aspects related to the evolution of living organisms (vertebrate and invertebra-te fossils) over geological time and studies the relationship between man and environment in an alpine setting during the period between the Late Glacial and ancient Holocene. In addition to the well-established educational activities inherent its institutional tasks, MUSE has an important role in the communication and dis-semination of both scientific and environmental culture, in order to foster the cultural, social and economic development of well-rooted local communities and the re-emergence of identity processes in the environmental field.Part of the about 5,000 m² surface of gallery devotes exhibits to the field of nature and bio-diversity with special regards to the research activities of the MUSE and other local institu-tes, providing the diffusion of scientific data to the public in form of easily accessible contents. Visitors may see and meet researchers at work every day (thanks to the glass walls) and meet researchers, every day, in the four “Open Labs” located at the first floor of the gallery. Labora-tories are devoted to different disciplines (from hydrobiology to botany, entomology, palaeon-tology, geology, vertebrate zoology), they are designed to profile MUSE researchers, master and Ph.D. students and display the relevance of their work to the public. In the biennium 2014-2015 the MUSE pro-moted and participated to several research projects in collaboration with local research

institutes especially with the Edmund Mach Foundation, the Kessler Foundation and the University of Trento in response to the Trento Province’s request to enhance cooperation on common research topics.The national and international collaborations with other museums and research institu-tes has also increased, with the boosting of large-scale research programmes in Europe and Africa in the fields of biodiversity as-sessment, sustainable development, envi-ronmental education. The report provides quantitative indicators of such research activities referred to period 2014-2015, with a focus on the main results published in scientific journals. The care of MUSE’s collections that originate from the research has contributed to increase the re-levance of such results (at present about 5 millions of specimens/items are hosted in the museum). Furthermore, our researchers are supported by the a team of scientific com-municators, engaged in the dissemination of research results to citizens and stakeholders. Thus, this report provides also outreach activi-ties performed in collaboration with the scien-tific communicators.

In conclusion, I am grateful to all the person-nel who contributed with constant care, de-dication, enthusiasm and professionalism to the performance of the MUSE, included the administrative employees. A special mention goes to the Provincia Autonoma di Trento (Au-tonomous Province of Trento) for its financial support to our research programmes and to all the sponsors who supported our activities in the last two years.

The research programmes2

MUSE – Museo delle Scienze traces back its origin in the mid XIX century, while only in 1964 it was established with the current asset. Throughout this period it progressively evolved into a modern museum, dedicated to research, visitor interpretation and education. Research at MUSE is articulated around two mainstream areas: a multidisciplinary investigation of nature and an interest for science interpretation, edu-cation and training, based on the interconnec-tion between nature science and society.

Environmental research focuses mainly on the Al-pine region, and aims at attaining both local and global relevance, trying to be effective, integrated and useful to the local community and research area but also strategically placed at European lev-el in key research networks, valuing international research cooperation and participation to consor-tia and competitive projects, delivering research products relevant at global level. Since 2008 how-ever, research on mountain ecosystems of other areas of the world has begun, especially in biodi-versity-rich mountain forests of eastern Africa.

Research on the public communication of science continuously develops new means to raise public awareness on the alpine en-vironment, promoting the sustainable use of its resources, necessary to grant an envi-ronmentally friendly development of the local society, highlighting local assets and natural heritage, promoting public understanding of science. The role of the new science museum MUSE is to investigate and explain nature us-ing scientific tools, addressing the challenges posed by the modern times and promoting the values of science, innovation and sustain-able development.

Environmental research is increasingly called to inform the public, including the administrators, on scientifically-sound ways to manage the en-vironment. MUSE has an exceptional potential towards this goal, as it is one of the few institu-tions in the Trento Province that can use its vast documentation knowledge on nature to ad-dress key issues of landscape and biodiversity planning and management.

Macroarea Biodiversity and Ecology

The MUSE’s studies on biodiversity involve the integration between ecological, physiological and molecular data of plants (algae and higher plants) and animals (arthropods and verte-brates), both at individual, population and community level, with the main aims of:

1. Assessing the ecological factors influencing the biogeographic and evolutionary patterns of species distribution and model communities;

2. Defining the population dynamics and evolutionary processes of plant and animal species in mountainous areas;

3. Analysing the data collected in order to predict how model organisms and communities will respond to climate change and environmental issues;

4. Finalizing the realization of tools aimed to the understanding of the impact of human activi-ties on landscapes and to estimate the resilience of natural systems to the anthropization processes;

5. Identifying the factors that determine and affect biodiversity patterns both at local and glob-al levels, and produce maps of potential biodiversity;

6. Providing stakeholders with new tools and methods for the management and conservation of habitats and species;

7. Performing actions aimed to the mitigation of adverse environmental impacts and to the re-naturalization of habitats;

8. Developing cultural and scientific tools in order to promote and disseminate the concept of a knowledge-based sustainable development.

A critical assumption of our interdisciplinary approach is the long-standing experience of the museum biological Research Unit in biodiversity documentation through the aggregation of

15

data in specific databases, production of scientific publications and scientific and technical reports (e.g. Red Lists, Check Lists, Action Plans, management and conservation plans).Furthermore the combination of these skills and their integration in the study of ecosystems, contributes to the study of landscape outlined below. This field of research pertains to the macroarea “Earth and Landscape Sciences”.

Macroarea Earth Sciences and Landscape

Economic development and quality of life (understood as a form of social development), are closely related to the quality of the environment. Research projects pertaining to this area aim to a better understanding of the geological structure, soil properties and land use of the region, and investigate recent and past changes in climatic and environmental conditions of the area. The classification of the territory in forestry areas, agricultural zones, settlements and infra-structural areas is reformulated in terms of “quality”. This scheme allows a new representation of the units according to an eco-functional approach to the study of the landscape. This moves towards the development of a model in which the ecomosaic of natural biotic and abiotic com-ponents (past, present, future) interact with anthropogenic ones. As far as we are concerned, the latter are related to the traditional use of the soils, the presence of diffuse cultural entities, parks and protected areas, to the systems of interpretation and evaluation of these units. The goals of this area are therefore:

1. To define the main components of the alpine landscape, its geological structure and past environments and ecosystems. This includes the study of present and past transforma-tions and of the processes that have led to the most relevant changes;

2. To investigate the main features of the extant alpine landscape with reference to both instances of equilibrium and situations characterized by change (on different scales and times). This is carried out with special focus to the agents and dynamics of transformation;

3. To summarize the features of the alpine landscape and to track their changes over time.

MUSE is recognized as a research centre of excellence in the following themes:

- Documentation and conservation of alpine flora and fauna, both terrestrial and freshwater. These studies aim to assess and monitor the biodiversity in Trentino, create databases (which are mainly of insects and vertebrates), checklists, red lists and use these data to realize predictive models of spatial patterns of distribution in both natural and pro-tected areas and urban areas. Such research has relevant implications for conservation because it provides knowledge used to make landscape management plans.

- Effects of climate and environmental change on natural ecosystems and alpine biodiversity. It consists in basic and applied researches aimed to test the effect of natural and anthropogenic impacts on alpine biodiversity, to model trends in biodiversity, to define new bioindicators of ecosystem quality, and to evaluate the species extinction risks. The researches developed on springs, glacial rivers, glacier forelands and rock glaciers have na-tional and international relevance due to the ongoing global warming and consequent glacier retreat. These researches help to implement the algae and entomological collections.

- Ex situ conservation, propagation, cultivation and reintroduction of alpine plant species (seed bank). The researches maintain a long term seeds conservation centre in Trentino for endangered alpine species, crop wild relatives and neglected crops varieties. Tropical species are also in collection together with the local species enhancing the inter-national value of the MUSE seed bank.

- Biological diversity and conservation of tropical and sub-tropical regions. These researches originate from the assessment of the forest vertebrate diversity of poorly known or even previously unexplored areas, and subsequently they involve analysis of biogeographic and speciation patterns, as well as focal, species-level studies, especially on mammals, on abundance estimation, ecological modeling, temporal monitoring and conservation. Most of the research and conservation activities are conducted in Tanzania’s Eastern Arc Mountains, one of the top global biodiversity hotspots. Here MUSE has a field station annexed to the Udzungwa Mountains National Park.

- Palaeontology and palaeoichnology. This project aims to quantify the abundance and study the relationships of dinosaurs and other terrestrial reptiles in Trentino and surround-ing regions. Specific actions involve the identification of new palaeontological sites and the development of new conservation actions and valorisation projects.

- Geodiversity. This project aims at documenting local geodiversity in order to understand the relation between the natural environment and the dynamics of anthropic modification. These actions have high social relevance, in particular when associated with geological mapping and assessments of geological hazard.

- Speleothems and cave waters. These projects aim to track past climatic oscillations in Trentino by means of sampling the calcite deposited in the caves, the underground waters and the hypogeal soils in the Province.

- Prehistory. These mainly refer to researches on the first human peopling of the Alps (Late Glacial and early Holocene), which highlight the close relationship between the patterns of land use and social organization of human groups and the reconstruction of ancient landscapes. The abundant examples of mobilary prehistoric art discovered in prehistoric sites of Trentino are of particular value.

17

- Interconnections between scientific and technological innovations and social im-plications, focusing especially on sustainability issues of the sciences of life and its ap-plications. This research is based on international networks. The aim is to enhance the role of MUSE to operate as a venue that brings culture and science together in a deliberative space, i.e. a ‘agora’ hosting dialogues where producers, policy makers and users of the scientific innovation can meet and directly face, and where science of culture and cultures of science become visible.

MUSE’s research work has a strong impact on the local context, for its vocation to provide rec-ommendations relevant to environmental management, valuing nature for tourism, and public engagement in science. MUSE’s researchers work alongside with professionals and adminis-trators linked to the Autonomous Province of Trento, contributing with environmental impact assessments and the provision of wildlife and protected area management plans.

The natural history and archaeological collections of the Museo delle Scienze (about 300 collec-tions and 5,5 millions objects) are of great interest for their close relationship with the Trentino area. Besides the objects of local origin, there are many specimens coming from the rest of Italy and from foreign countries, obtained through donations, travels, exchanges and research expeditions abroad. The oldest materials were collected more than two centuries ago and the collections increase every year through many new acquisitions. As vouchers of the natural and human diversity in time and space, the collections are precious research infrastractures, always available to the research community.

The MUSE collections are constantly investigated and cared for conservation by the staff, in or-der to go in depth in their documentation and study, and to make them available to the research community as to the general public. At present the 59,2% of the preserved heritage is fully cata-logued with a specific software in accordance with the national standards. In 2014-2015 MUSE received several loan requests: 51 outgoing loans were approved, 44 for research purposes and 9 for temporary exhibitions. The MUSE collections specimens were de-scribed or used as material in 61 different publications written by the museum staff or by other researchers who borrowed MUSE collections objects. Acquisition and documentation increased conspicuously with 8,500 new objects, 5,789 new catalogue cards digitized and 13,298 revised.

The scientific colllections

Tropical BiodiversitySince 1998 the museum has conducted sev-eral research expeditions in the mountain rain-forests of Tanzania, that have led to a collec-tion of 4,650 specimens of amphibians and reptiles (and mammals to a much less extent). These include over 60 species that are new to science. The tropical african herpetology col-lection of MUSE is now recognized one of the most important with regards to the mountain forests of Tanzania. Among the mammals, the collection includes Rhynchocyon udzungwen-sis, the giant elephant-shrew and the Matilda’s horned viper Atheris matildae, discovered by MUSE researchers and described respectively in 2008 and 2011.

Botany Botany collections are made up by the herbar-ium and the living collections of the museum’s two botanic gardens (Viote Alpine Garden and Arco Arbotretum) and the seed bank.The Herbarium (TR) accounts for approx. 150,000 specimens mainly collected from the mid eighteen century to the mid nineteen century. The major component is naturally lo-cal from Trentino and Tirol but a significant part of the collections originate from other parts of Italy, Europe and North Africa. Viote Alpine Garden grows more than 1,200 alpine species from the major mountain chains of the world, with a special interest for endemic and threat-ened species, Arco arboretum includes nearly 200 species of fine and tender trees of garden interest. The seeds bank focuses on threat-ened and endemic species of conservation in-terest originating from the Eastern Alps.

Limnology and PhycologyPhycological and limnological collections of the MUSE include more than 4,000 items col-lected in the frame of the numerous research projects carried out by the Section. These are mostly samples of microscopic organisms –such as diatoms, cyanobacteria, algae, zoo-benthos and zooplankton - collected mainly in the Alps, and namely in the Autonomous Prov-ince of Trento. Besides these recently started collections, the Section also curates four his-torical algae collections including 4,000 exsic-cata of marine and freshwater algae originat-ing from different locations worldwide and col-lected mainly in the Nineteenth Century.

Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology Invertebrate collections of the MUSE in-clude more than 1,2 million of specimens, aquatic and terrestrial. Historical collections (1850-1950 yr) include mainly terrestrial in-sects (about 175,000 specimens) and marine, freshwater and terrestrial molluscs. Most part of specimens (terrestrial and aquatic) are pre-served in ethanol and were collected mainly in mountain regions in Italy but also abroad (Sval-bard Islands, Pakistan-Karakorum, France-Pyr-enees, etc.). A collection of more than 5,000 microscope slides of aquatic insects and crus-taceans is also present.

Vertebrate ZoologyThe Vertebrate Zoology collections of MUSE include all classes of this taxon, with a marked prevalence of birds and mammals. Overall there are almost 11,500 specimens, of which 4,000


28

were collected between 1850 and 1950, while the rest come from recent donations, acquisi-tions and MUSE own research. It is especially interesting the small mammal collection, that counts 6,000 specimens among insectivors and rodents. The material demonstrate the tight link of MUSE with the local environment, and it overall includes whole animals prepared as skins or wet specimens, bird nests, eggs, prepared skeletons.

GeologyGeological collections of the MUSE are consti-tuted of rocks, minerals and fossils collected from the main localities of the Trentino-Alto Adige region and, in minor part, from Italian and foreign sites. The 16,800 specimens come from different sources, and became part of the museum heritage thanks to research activities,

donations or occasional findings by privates or collaborators of the museum. Specimens, col-lected in a temporal range of more then two centuries, well document the local territory and testify the geological research enterprise of the Trentino area.

PrehistoryMUSE’s archaeological collections are referred to lithic materials, ceramics, bone and horn manufacts, art manufacts, wood, vegetal fi-bres, metal manufacts and faunas. MUSE’s archaeological finds are more than 3 millions. They mostly belong to 40 provincial prehistoric sites, studied by the Museum from the 60’s. The precious paleolithic painted stones (al-most 300) with zoomorphic, antropomorphic and schematic pictures, coming from Riparo Dalmeri (Trento) are exceptionally relevant.

MUSE NASSTEC projectSection of Botany

Alpine and Atlantic grasslands habitats are centres of biodiversity with high evolutionary im-portance for flora and fauna, which have been identified as a conservation and restoration pri-ority. European grasslands often exist within an-thropogenic landscapes, resulting from a posi-tive interaction between natural processes and traditional human activities. However, regular land use over the past 100 years and the ur-ban sprawl have led to irreversible degradation of biodiverse grasslands such as dry meadows and alpine meadows. Seed legislation, regula-tions and policies exist for agricultural and hor-ticultural purposes in Europe, but not for native grassland species used in restoration practices. Restoration efforts are often made with non-native plant species with the absence of seed quality protocols, policies and adequate train-ing for restoration practitioners. Networking is strategic to attain significant impact and exist-ing associations are present in the UK (Flora locale), Germany (VWW), and a new EU initia-tive called NASSTEC funded under FP7 MCA ITN. NASSTEC aims to promote a better un-derstanding of native seed science and the use of native seeds for restoration connecting aca-demia to industry, and informing policy. Com-munication between academia and industry will be enhanced by this project, thus NASSTEC will integrate commercial and research priorities in order to recommend a certification scheme in

Europe based on the findings of NASSTEC and meets the grower’s needs.

One project will use a combination of glob-al database information and local scale case studies to integrate local and regional scales of ecological data. Habitat-based variation in seed and regeneration traits, functional diversi-ty and species composition will be used as an approach for integrating patterns broad scale. Wild seed will be collected in Trentino to clarify and verify best performing seed lots to maxi-mize restoration success through a series of experimental lab based germination, nursery, and field growth trials for unexplored species. Finally, a novel method will be used to dem-onstrate habitat based patterns and species prioritization to maximise the provision of eco-system services for ecosystem recovery. The second project will take a unique approach integrating the science and policy aspects of native seed production by identifying the (i) current policies and regulations, (ii) seed qual-ity protocols for genetic conservation and plant establishment, and (iii) certification recommen-dations. Emphasis will be placed on the im-portance and complexity of seed quality using a bottom-up approach addressed by survey-ing seed users and producers in Europe, the United States, and Australia with the main aim to design a certification recommendation for Europe.

The main results and projects 2014-2015

The relocation of the museum into the new building offered the opportunity to re-develop the Seed Bank of the botany department. This facility cannot be easily accommodated into standard labs, but requires specific design and effective building solutions, being what you could easily define a ‘sensitive’ infrastructure, whose proper function heavily depends on the shape and layout of its components. The core of the new seed bank includes the seed drying and storage rooms that need a low humidity (15% RH) and cool (15°C) environment. In the new de-sign these two rooms have been separated into two distinct areas that serve the two main stages of the seed processing cycle: a ‘dirty’ zone at-tached to the seed curation lab for initial drying and seed cleaning and a ‘clean’ zone for final drying and packaging next to the seed germina-tion lab. The two rooms have a rectangular base to facilitate the airflow in a specific direction. The coolers and dryers are external, redundant and dedicated for each room, the temperature and RH values are electronically controlled, alarmed

and logged. The cold store has been enlarged with 8 deep freezers. The germination lab has an increased capacity with 12 cooled incuba-tors and is equipped for sterile procedures. An additional external area, close to the propaga-tion greenhouse, is equipped with tanks for liq-uid nitrogen storage for experimental long term conservation of species that are short lived in conventional dry cold storage. This major up-grade and increased capacity of the museum seed storage facilities has been instrumental in developing NASSTEC, a new European project aimed at promoting the production and use of native seed for grassland restoration. NASSTEC is an FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network ap-proved in June 2013 by the EU and running from 1.4.2014 to 30.3.2018. NASSTEC will train 11 Early Stage Researchers in native seed science promoting technology transfer to the existing seed companies for native seed production, de-livering ecosystem services impact mitigation in the many infrastructure works (roadwork, quar-ries, ski slopes) impacting on grassland habitats.

The threats posed by climate change make it important to expand knowledge concern-ing cold and heat tolerance in stenothermal species from habitats potentially threatened by temperature changes. Supercooling point (SCP), lower lethal temperatures (LLTs), thermal hysteresis (TH), sugars and polyols content and heat shock proteins genes (hsc70 and hsp70) expression were estimated under acute cold stress down to -30°C, to highlight the cold har-diness strategy adopted by III-IV-instar larvae of two non-biting midges species (Pseudodia-mesa branickii and Diamesa cinerella) (Diptera: Chironomidae). In P. branickii, SCPs and LLTs were estimated in overwintering young (I-II in-star) and mature (III-IV instar) larvae, besides their upper lethal temperatures (ULTs) under thermal stress between -20 and 37 °C.

According to TH (>2), accumulation of glu-cose and sucrose as main cryoprotectants, SCPs (= -6.37°C (IV instar) to -7.1 °C (I-II in-star) and -6.85°C, respectively) and LLT100 (= -16.2°C (IV instar) to and -14.7°C, respectively), P. branickii and D. cinerella can be considered both as freezing tolerant but with some differ-ences due to the Cumulative Proportion of Indi-vidual Freezing values and the LLT50 (-9.14 and -6.13°C, respectively), and to gene expression data (i.e. constitutive expression of hsps in D. cinerella, up-regulation of hsp70 in P. branickii) suggesting different levels of cold stenothermy.

Both young and mature larvae of P. branickii and were freezing tolerant but also thermotoler-ant (ULT50 = 31.7 ± 0.4, 32.5 ± 0.3, respec-tively). However, ontogenetic differences in acute tolerance were observed as in basal me-tabolism young larvae exhibit a higher oxygen consumption rate at any temperature tested and are overall less resistant to oxygen deple-tion compared to mature larvae at ≥10 °C.

These findings stimulated discussion on the validity of the different metabolic indicators in defining the level of cold hardiness of a spe-cies, even in relation to its cold stenothermy.

Although many of the processes involved in the relationship between hyporheic and ben-thic zone have been elucidated in recent years, the vertical and temporal structure of the inver-tebrate assemblages in alpine streams is still unclear. Our studies on benthic and hyporheic zone in two Alpine streams with different origin highlighted that the main factor in structuring the invertebrate community was the habitat (= benthic, hyporheic). However, a strong similar-ity was detected between the two stream types in both the structure and function of the hypo-rheos, which was more species rich than the benthos, but with a species’ turnover similar in the two streams. Nevertheless, according to the intermediate disturbance hypothesis, the highly disturbed glacial system hosted a simplified community (= hyporheos+benthos) compared to the stable spring system. Data on nutrition-habitat connections were also ob-tained, providing insights about the trophic-sink effect between the hyporheos and the benthos.

The vertical and transversal connectivity

contributed significantly to the overall richness of the two streams investigated, favouring benthic taxa unable to survive without exploit-ing the hyporheic habitat e,g, for food supply or for completion of life cycle. Especially in the highly temporal heterogeneous glacial stream, the hyporheic zone was occupied more per-manently, also by stygoxene taxa and used as an extension of the surface habitat.

These findings suggest that the observed vertical and transversal connectivity between surface and subsurface habitat has a key role in the dispersal potential of invertebrates on glacial floodplains that through the hyporheic will colonize stream reaches created by re-treating glaciers or stream reaches with limited degree of glacial influence fed by a disappear-ing glacier.

Over the past few decades, the integration of molecular and ecological approaches for un-ravelling both the genetic basis and the ecologi-cal importance of ecosystems has encountered increasing interest. A pressing challenge for the ecological and evolutionary community is to un-derstand the molecular basis of adaptation in ecosystems and predict how organisms reply to stresses such as climate change, habitat loss or fragmentation, exposure to chemicals or pesticides.

In stressed organisms, strategic proteins are selectively translated even if the global pro-cess of protein synthesis is compromised. The determination of protein concentrations in tis-sues of non-model organisms (thus with limited genomic information) is challenging due to the absence of specific antibodies. Moreover, esti-mating protein levels quantifying transcriptional responses may be misleading, because trans-lational control mechanisms uncouple protein and mRNAs abundances. Translational control is increasingly recognized as a hub where regu-lation of gene expression converges to shape proteomes, but it is almost completely over-looked in molecular ecology studies. An inter-esting approach to study translation and its con-trol mechanisms is the analysis of variations of

gene-specific translational efficiencies by quan-tifying mRNAs associated to ribosomes. We carried out several studies to propose a robust and streamlined pipeline for purifying ribosome-associated mRNAs and calculating global and gene-specific translation efficiencies from non-model insect’s species. As experimental organ-ism we employed the dipteran Pseudodiamesa branickii (Nowicki) (Chironomidae). P. branickii is a good bioindicator of climate change, as cold stenothermal species colonizing aquatic habi-tats (e.g. high mountain springs and streams) threatened by global warming.

This method might found applications in molecular ecology to study responses to envi-ronmental stressors in non-model organisms.

A century of chasing the ice: delayed colonisation of ice-free sites by ground beetles along glacier forelands in the AlpsSection of Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology

Climate change is affecting species distri-bution, composition of biological communities, and species traits. Despite the growing body of knowledge on the reaction of species to climate change, the potentially delayed re-sponse of species is still severely understud-ied. In this paper we modelled the time need-ed by ground-living invertebrates to effectively react to habitat modification induced by cli-mate change in relation to dispersal abilities. We analyzed the occurrence pattern of alpine ground beetles (carabids) along areas recent-ly freed by retreating glaciers in the central-eastern Italian Alps, to test how the synergic effects of time since deglaciation and envi-ronmental factors may affect the colonisation process. Different times of response to climate change in ground beetles were found. Sites already hosting the land cover type suitable for our study taxon, but ice-free for less than 100 yr, are mainly colonised by winged carabid beetles (which have high dispersal abilities and

are mostly habitat generalists). No, or very few, wingless species (slow colonizers and ecologi-cally specialized) occur within those sites. “The overall pattern suggests that within a site, suit-able land cover is established prior to coloniza-tion, due to a strong joint effect of time since deglaciation and land cover type. Long-lasting habitat development at the fine scale is likely to result in a lack of specific resources (e.g. food items, or microhabitat), which is likely to contribute to delayed colonisation, which po-tentially could be tied also to dispersal abili-ties. Whatever the reason, the existence of a time-lag often equal to or greater than 100 yr in species colonisation implies caution in predicting species’ occurrence shifts follow-ing climate change.

Rock glaciers are a periglacial landform char-acterized by distinctive environmental conditions because of the occurrence of subsurface ice (permafrost). In this paper we report on the key physical features of an active rock glacier that in-fluence the distribution of plants and arthropods. We also perform a comparison with neighboring scree slope and alpine grassland to test whether the environmental features of the rock glacier drive the presence of specific species assem-blages. Compared with scree slope and grass-land, the studied rock glacier provides particular physical features that determine the presence of unique species. Plant distribution is mainly driven

by grain size. Arthropod distribution is linked to grain size, with cold-adapted species found on areas with coarse-grained deep debris, which also shows a distinctive temperature regime with very low values throughout the year. On the basis of these findings, we advance the hypoth-esis that rock glaciers provide specific ecological conditions creating potential refugia for cold-de-manding species during warm climatic periods.

In this paper we aimed to investigate the assembly processes of plant–insect networks and to elucidate its functional implications for ecosystem stability along a chronosequence of glacier retreat. We collected data on the functional role of anthophilous insect groups and performed network analysis to evalu-ate their relative importance in the structure of plant–insect interaction networks with in-creasing time since deglaciation along the pri-mary succession of a debris-covered glacier foreland. We sampled anthophilous insects visiting the flowers of two models plant spe-cies, Leucanthemopsis alpina and Saxifraga bryoides. Insects were identified and trophic roles were attributed to each taxon. Pollina-tors dominated pioneer communities on the debris-covered glacier and in recently degla-ciated areas, while parasitoids, predators and opportunists characterised late-succession stages. Plant species centrality varied along the succession. Pollinators showed initially higher but then decreasing centrality, while

the centrality of predators and parasitoids in-creased with time since deglaciation. Along the same gradient link density showed an increasing trend while network centraliza-tion tended to decrease. The present study provides new insight into the initial steps of plant–insect network assembly and sheds light on the relationship between structure and dynamic in ecological networks. In par-ticular, during the succession process, more links are formed and plant–anthophilous in-sect interactions change from a network dominated by pollinators to a functionally more diversified food web. We conclude that applying network theory to the study of pri-mary succession provides a useful framework to investigate the relationship between com-munity structure and ecosystem stability.

International Congress and Workshop on benthic-algae-based environmental assessmentsSection of Limnology and Phycology

Two important scientific events took place at the Museo delle Scienze – MUSE in Trento mid-June of 2015 (Organizer & Chair: M. Cantonati): The International Congress 9th Use of Algae for Monitoring RIvers and comparable habitats (UA-MRIch) (June 15-17.2015) and The International Workshop on Benthic Algae Taxonomy (InBAT) (June 17-19.2015). The two events have been attended by 67 participants from 23 worldwide distributed countries. The International Symposia “Use of Algae for Monitoring Rivers” date back to 1991, and, since then, have offered opportuni-ties to review and discuss benthic-algae-based assessment approaches in the different coun-tries, as well as improvements to approaches, methods, and techniques. The main aim of these Symposia has been the standardization of methods, the improvement of directives, and the discussion of novel approaches.

The International Workshop on Benthic Al-gae Taxonomy (InBAT) was primarily targeted at applied ecologists and practitioners using algae and cyanobacteria for environmental assessment but has been attended also by environmental managers, practically-oriented taxonomists, uni-

versity teachers and students. The general topic of the Workshop has been: “Taxonomic and ecological characterization of species relevant for environmental assessment and monitoring”. The Workshop was organized in taxonomic sessions devoted to the major algal groups with the fol-lowing Taxonomic Session Chairs: Diatoms (M. Cantonati, B. Van de Vijver), Cyanobacteria (B.A. Whitton & E. Rott), Red Algae (M. Vis), Green al-gae & other groups (E. Shubert, S. Schneider).

The UAMRIch and InBAT proceedings are being published as special series of papers on the renowned journals Science of the Total En-vironment (environmental sciences) and Fottea (phycology).

A special series of papers, titled ‘The Ecology of Lake Benthic Algae’ was published in the June 2014 issue of the journal Freshwater Science. This series of articles was edited by Dr. Marco Cantonati, Head of the Limnology & Phycology Section of the MUSE in Trento and Adjunct Pro-fessor at the Universities of Innsbruck (and Trento in 2014), in collaboration with three colleagues: Rex L. Lowe, Prof . Emeritus at Bowling Green State University, Ohio; Dean M. DeNicola, Pro-fessor at Slippery Rock University, Pennsylvania; Martyn Kelly of Bowburn Consultancy and Ad-junct Professor at the University of New Castle (England).

Even the cover of the issue (see image be-low) was a Trentino “product”! Finally, one of the fifteen works of the special series on lake benthic algae was chosen as featured article of the issue (see citation on the cover below). The issue with the special series of articles on lake benthic algae has been prominently featured at the Freshwater Science booth at JASM (Joint Aquatic Sciences Meeting, a major international conference that brought together as many as 3180 registered delegates belonging to 4 major scientific soci-eties active in the fields of limnology and phy-cology (SFS + ASLO + PSA + SWS) (Portland, Oregon, USA, May 18-23.2014). At this confer-ence M. Cantonati (MUSE) organized a special session on spring habitats (Spring-habitats and spring-fed headwaters biology fifty years after the definition of crenobiology; Chairs: Cantonati M., Italy; Muotka T., Finland; J. Richardson, Can-ada; M. Vis, USA). The special session, with 15 oral presentations by international speakers, was well received by the Congress participants.

Five of the fifteen articles of the special se-ries on benthic algae have been published by researchers from Trentino (several MUSE re-searchers, and Prof. Graziano Guella, University of Trento, Physics Dept., Laboratory of Bioor-ganic Chemistry) (Cantonati, MUSE, was first author of four of the five papers). The Adamello-Brenta Nature Park (and particularly Lake Tovel) was the study environment for three of the five mentioned articles. The University and Scientific Research Department of the Autonomous Prov-ince of Trento has supported in various ways the research activities which generated several of

the data contained in these papers (for example within Programme Agreements with the MUSE, and with the Projects SALTO/BEST 2001-2004 and ACE SAP 2008-2011).

The works of the special series of articles include also findings of evident local interest, in particular the discovery of a species of cyano-bacterium new to science in Lake Tovel, and the discovery in Lake Garda (the largest Italian lake of huge touristic value) of a species of green alga belonging to a genus previously considered to be endemic to China.

The deep littoral zone of lakes hosts a unique but understudied subset of lake pe-riphyton. We investigated epilithic (= rock dwelling) cyanobacteria (also known as cyano-prokaryotes or blue-green algae) in a carbon-ate meromictic lake (Lake Tovel, southeastern Alps) to obtain information on 2 poorly known, deep-dwelling coccoid species (one new to sci-ence) and to analyze their distribution in light of the current understanding of the depth distri-bution of lake periphyton. Cyanoprokaryotes in Lake Tovel have distinct depth distributions among 3 zones: shallow (0–4 m), mid-depth (6–12 m), and deep (15–24 m) (Cantonati et al. 2014). The mid-depth and deep zones are characterized by high stability with favorable growth conditions and by severe light limita-tion, respectively. Both zones have unique taxa that frequently possess colorless sheaths or pink–red–violet cell contents. The 2 most poorly known cyanoprokaryotes found in Lake Tovel (both pink–red–violet) were a species of Geitleri-bactron new to science (Geitleribactron pur-pureum sp. nov. Cantonati et Komárek) and the rare Chlorogloea purpurea. We described and documented, respectively, these 2 species by means of light microscopy, careful comparison

with the most-similar morphospecies, transmis-sion electron microscopy (TEM), and ecological characteristics. We are the first to describe the TEM ultrastructure of a Chlorogloea species and to characterize the autecology and dis-tribution of C. purpurea, which, in spite of its very specific habitat requirements (deep waters of carbonate oligotrophic mountain lakes), has been reported in several studies from disparate habitats and geographic locations.

Several attempts were made to isolate, am-plify, and sequence 2 red species from deep layers of limestone lakes of the Alps from dried and fresh material (stones retrieved by scuba divers). Attempts done before the species de-scription were unsuccessful, but more recent ones yielded the first published sequence for the genus Geitleribactron, allowing an interest-ing discussion on the evolution and taxonomic placement of this genus and of phylogenetical-ly-related taxa (Mareš & Cantonati 2016).

Valagola_SEFIRA Project: Reconstruction of the development of the mountain Lake Valagola and prediction of senescing and filling ratesSection of Limnology and Phycology

The Limnology & Phycology Section has a long research tradition on different oligotrophic habitats such as springs, mountain lakes, and different types of mountain streams.

During 2013-2014, the Adamello-Brenta Na-ture Park (PNAB) asked the Limnology Section to study the evolution and filling of Lake Valagola to obtain suggestions for possible management improvement.

On one side the project focused on paleolim-nology, with sediment cores collection in order to perform radiometric and carbon dating, and diatom and pigment analysis. On the other side, it studied the recent conditions of the lake with several sampling surveys and field assessments.

Researchers, supported by the scuba-diving unit of the Fire Brigade of Trento, assessed the morphology of the lake bottom and measured depths to generate the bathymetry of the lake, and sampled submerged plants and macroalgae from the lake bottom (with the kind assistance of M. Bąk and her colleagues of the University of Szczecin, Poland). The four species of sub-merged macrophytes recovered from Lake Val-agola are all indicators of environments with good ecological integrity. Epiphytic diatoms were stud-ied (M. Letáková, University of Olomouc, Czech Republic), and results are being published.

Two colleagues of the MUSE (C. Casarotto & E. Bertoni) performed geomorphological and hydrogeological observations and measure-ments revealing a high permeability of the Daun stadial moraine rimming the lake, characterized by a strong difference between the amounts of inflowing and outflowing water.

Sedimentation rates measured in Lake Val-gola appear to be those typical for mountain and high-mountain lakes of the Alps. The estimated total age for the tarn is 15,000 years.

The analysis of sub-fossil diatom assemblag-es (M. Letáková & E. Stocchetti) in the sediment cores showed that more typical “lake-environ-ment conditions” were established only recently, with the construction of an artificial concrete rim in the early 1970s.

the tarn might have been characterized by a long phase with fluvial-lacustrine regime before.

Finally the lake was confirmed to be meso-oligotrophic (we thank L. Cerasino, E. Mach. Foundation, for making available chemical data), mainly because of its shallowness and nutrient inputs from the nearby pastures and cattle burn.

Revealing the vertebrate diversity of the Eastern Arc MountainsSection of Tropical Biodiversity

Also called the “Galapagos of Africa”, the Eastern Arc Mountains of Kenya and Tanza-nia have long been known as an outstanding region for biological diversity and endemism. Yet, knowledge on species distribution and en-demism patterns remained scant up to a dec-ade ago. However, a new study showed how updated knowledge on species occurrence from targeted surveys can change knowledge on perceived biodiversity importance.

As an international team of experts, we surveyed amphibians, reptiles, birds and mam-mals during 2005 - 2009, targeting mountain blocks that had been poorly surveyed. We combined new and old data to produce a da-tabase of species presence by mountain block spanning four decades of research. Species

richness was regressed against survey effort, funding, ecological and human disturbance factors to analyse the best predictors of verte-brate richness across mountain blocks.

New surveys raised the number of endem-ic and regional endemic vertebrates by 24% (from 170 to 211 species), including 27 new species of which 23 are amphibians and rep-tiles. Vertebrate richness was best explained by forest area, but rainfall was also found im-portant, especially for amphibians and rep-tiles. Forest elevational range was important for mammals and for block-endemic birds. Funding explained 19% of the variation in total species richness, while survey effort generally explained < 10% of variance.

The main conclusions of this work is that the biological value of the EAM has been un-derestimated, and strategic surveys are impor-tant even in well-recognized hotspots. The ex-ceptional importance of these mountains was highlighted, supporting the development of a network of Nature Reserves and the inclusion within UNESCO’s natural World Heritage Sites.

Landscape genetics approach demonstrates the effects of human disturbance in endangered monkey speciesSection of Tropical Biodiversity

Human activities, in its many forms - de-forestation, land use, agricultural and indus-trial pollution - have a tremendous impact on habit quality and degradation, jeopardizing the persistence of their wild inhabitants. Habitat quality, by determining the diet ingested by an animal, is fundamental in characterizing the highly diverse microbial communities living in the gastrointestinal tract (gut microbiota), ex-tremely critical in host health and fitness by, for example, being responsible for host diges-tive efficiency (e.g., also degrading toxic sub-stances), stimulating host immune system and protecting it from pathogenic invasion.

Classified as ‘endangered’ by the IUCN, the Udzungwa red colobus (Procolobus gor-donorum) is among the most threatened pri-mate species in Africa and in constant decline. These colobus are arboreal forest dwellers, mainly folivorous and highly selective feed-ers. Because they prefer fresh young shoots and leaves, they are highly dependent on old-growth forests, thus particularly sensitive to habitat perturbation. Thus, they provide a criti-cal model to understanding whether anthro-

pogenic disturbance affects their gut micro-biota functional diversity. We sampled seven social groups inhabiting two forests (disturbed vs. undisturbed) in the Udzungwa Mountains of Tanzania. While Ruminococcaceae and Lachnospiraceae dominated in all individuals, reflecting their role in extracting energy from folivorous diets, analysis of genus composi-tion showed a marked diversification across habitats, with gut microbiota α-diversity signifi-cantly higher in the undisturbed forest. Func-tional analysis suggests that the reduction of gut microbiota diversity in the disturbed forest may be associated with food plant diversity in natural versus human-modified habitats, pin-pointing the importance of preserve pristine forests in order to conserve healthy endan-gered populations.

Habitat fragmentation associated to reduction of gut microbiota diversity in tropical monkeySection of Tropical Biodiversity

A comprehensive understanding of how hu-man disturbance affects tropical forest ecosys-tems is critical for the mitigation of future losses in global biodiversity. While many genetic studies of forest fragmentation have been already conduct-ed to provide insight concerning forest biodiver-sity loss, relatively few have incorporated land-scape data to explicitly test the effects of human disturbance on genetic differentiation among populations. In this study, we use a newly devel-oped landscape genetic approach that relies on a genetic algorithm to simultaneously optimize resistance surfaces to investigate the effects of human disturbance in the Udzungwa Moun-tains of Tanzania, which is an important part of a universally recognized biodiversity hotspot. Our study species is the endangered Udzungwa red colobus monkey (Procolobus gordonorum), which is endemic to the Udzungwa Mountains and a known indicator species that thrives in large and well-protected blocks of old growth forest. Population genetic analyses identified sig-

nificant population structure among Udzungwa red colobus inhabiting different forest blocks, and Bayesian cluster analyses identified hierarchical structure. Our new method for creating com-posite landscape resistance models found that the combination of fire density on the landscape and distance to the nearest village best explains the genetic structure observed. These results demonstrate the effects that human activities are having in an area of high global conserva-tion priority and suggest that this ecosystem is in a precarious state. Our study also illustrates the ability of our novel landscape genetic method to detect the impacts of relatively recent landscape features on a long-lived species.

The genus Atheris (Serpentes: Viperidae) in East Africa: Phylogeny and the role of rifting and climate in shaping the current pattern of species diversitySection of Tropical Biodiversity

Past climatic and tectonic events are be-lieved to have strongly influenced species di-versity in the Eastern Afromontane Biodiversity Hotspot. In the paper we have investigated the phylogenetic relationships and histori-cal biogeography of the East African genus of vipers Atheris, and explored temporal and spatial relationships between Atheris species across Africa, and the impact of palaeocli-matic fluctuations and tectonic movements on cladogenesis of the genus.

Using mitochondrial sequence data, the phylogeny of East African species of the genus shows congruent temporal patterns that link diversification to major tectonic and aridifica-tion events within East Africa over the last 15 million years. Our results are consistent with a scenario of a delayed direct west-east coloni-sation of the Eastern Arc Mountains of Atheris by the formation of the western rift. Based on the phylogenetic patterns, this terrestrial, forest - associated genus has dispersed into

East Africa across a divided route, on both west-southeasterly and west-northeasterly directions (a C-shaped route). Cladogenesis in the Eastern Arc Mountains and Southern Highlands of Tanzania corresponds to late Miocene and Plio-Pleistocene climatic shifts. From a taxonomic point of view, our data con-firmed the monophyly of Atheris as currently defined, and reveal four major East African clades, three of which occur in discrete moun-tain ranges. Possible cryptic taxa are identified in the Atheris rungweensis and A. ceratophora clades, further genetic and morphological in-vestigation are needed in order to assess their taxonomic placement.

Estimating rates of population change is essential to achieving theoretical and applied goals in population ecology, and the Pradel (1996, Biometrics, 52: 703.) temporal symmetry method permits direct estimation and modelling of the growth rate of open populations, using capture–recapture data from marked animals.

We present a Bayesian formulation of the Pradel approach that permits a hierarchical modelling of the biological and sampling pro-cesses. Two parametrizations for the temporal symmetry likelihood are presented and im-plemented into a general purpose software in BUGS language.

We first consider a set of simulated sce-narios to evaluate performance of a Bayesian variable selection approach to test the tempo-ral linear trend on survival and seniority prob-ability, population growth rate and detectability.

We then provide an example application on in-dividual detection information of three species of burrowing nesting seabirds, whose popu-lations cannot be directly counted. For each species, we assess the strength of evidence for temporal random variation and the tempo-ral linear trend on survival probability, popula-tion growth rate and detectability.

The Bayesian formulation provides more flexibility, by easily allowing the extension of the original fixed time effects structure to random time effects, an option that is still impractical in a frequentist framework.

Bayesian model selection: the steepest mountain to climb Section of Vertebrate Zoology

Following the advent of MCMC engines Bayesian hierarchical models are becoming increasingly common for modelling ecologi-cal data. However, the great enthusiasm for model fitting has not yet encompassed the selection of competing models, despite its fundamental role in the inferential process. This contribution is intended as a starting guide for practical implementation of Bayes-ian model and variable selection into a gen-eral purpose software in BUGS language. We explain two well-known procedures, the product space method and the Gibbs vari-able selection, clarifying theoretical aspects and practical guidelines through applied ex-amples on the comparison of non-nested models and on the selection of variables in a generalized linear model problem. De-spite the relatively wide range of available techniques and the difficulties related to the maximization of sampling efficiency, for their

conceptual simplicity and ease of imple-mentation the proposed methods represent useful tools for ecologists and conservation biologists that want to close the loop of a Bayesian analysis.

With ongoing climate change, many spe-cies are expected to shift their spatial and temporal distributions. To document changes in species distribution and phenology, detec-tion/non-detection data have proven very useful. Occupancy models provide a robust way to analyse such data, but inference is usually focused on species spatial distribu-tion, not phenology.

We present a multi-season extension of the staggered-entry occupancy model of Kendall et al. (2013, Ecology, 94, 610), which permits inference about the within-season patterns of species arrival and departure at sampling sites. The new model presented here allows investi-gation of species phenology and spatial distri-bution across years, as well as site extinction/colonization dynamics.

We illustrate the model with two data sets on European migratory passerines and one data set on North American treefrogs. We show how to derive several additional phenological parameters, such as annual mean arrival and departure dates, from estimated arrival and de-parture probabilities.

Given the extent of detection/non-detection data that are available, we believe that this modelling approach will prove very useful to fur-ther understand and predict species responses to climate change.

Natural variations in the stable isotope ratios of bioelements in bird feathers are be-ing increasingly used by animal ecologists to investigate different aspects of bird life. How-ever, to ensure reliability of the data, a critical and very delicate aspect is the preparatory phase (cleaning, drying and subsampling) and the proper analysis, mainly in relation to δ2H and δ18O, respectively, for the presence of exchangeable Hs and of nitrogen and sul-phur in keratin.

With respect to determination of the isotope ratios of C, N, O and H, in this work, we com-pare the cleaning mixture most commonly used in the literature (chloroform : methanol 2 : 1) with diethylether : methanol 2 : 1, which avoids the use of the carcinogenic solvent chloroform. We also compared oven-drying with air-drying of samples, as well as subsampling of feathers by cutting with surgical scissors or cryogenic pulverization. Finally, we investigated whether stable isotope ratios varied along the vane and between the rachis and vane.

The different methods compared in the three preparatory stages showed no differ-ences performance-wise and can therefore be used interchangeably. Variability in sta-

ble isotope ratios can be considerable, both along the vane and between rachis and vane, which is because their compositions regis-ter changes in diet, area and climate. How-ever, in this specific study, when the parts of the feather closest to the calamus were removed, the delta values were clearly more homogeneous. Finally, we demonstrate that a casein with a known δ2H value, although probably differing from keratin in the number of exchangeable Hs, can be used to nor-malize the δ2H values of feathers, although only in the range of values close to that of the reference material. In determining δ18O, the use of a longer gas chromatography-GC column, its frequent change and the use \of a linear equation built with matrix match equivalent reference materials seems to re-duce the drift of GC column performance due to the presence of nitrogen and the ac-cumulation of sulphur.

Intensive orchards are artificial habitats managed according to production criteria, but they may mimic open woodlands and harbour wild species. We investigated the effect of or-chard features on the true abundance (esti-mated with occupancy models) of some bird species widespread in orchards. Our study was carried out in Val di Non (Trento province, Italy) where apple cultivation is the most widespread and intensive. We counted blackcaps Sylvia atricapilla, chaffinches Fringilla coelebs, and greenfinches Carduelis chloris three times at 44 transects 300-m long. At each transect, we estimated the number of territories/pairs and recorded variables describing the cover of the habitats and management factors. Blackcap abundance was positively affected by the cover of shrubland and broadleaved woodland and by a low cover of coniferous forests. Chaffinch abundance was driven by a negative impact of anti-hail nets and secondarily by bare ground and urbanized areas, with chaffinches more

abundant in areas with grassland ground cover and 5-10% cover of urban habitats. Greenfinch abundance increased with wetland cover, cover of other natural/semi-natural habitats and tree height and decreased with grassland cover. Both the availability of natural and semi-natural vegetation and the orchard traits determined by management can significantly affect the abun-dance of common species. The conservation of the remaining patches of woodland, shrub-land, wetland (and other natural/semi-natural habitats) is essential for bird conservation. The already reported negative impact of anti-hail nets and the importance of the height of apple trees are confirmed; irrigation systems and bare ground may also be important factors.

The Dolo P/T Project (The Permian-Triassic ecological crisis in the Dolomites: extinction and recovery dynamics in Terrestrial Ecosytems) is funded by the Research Department of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano. Its work-ing group is composed of researchers from the Naturmuseum Südtirol/Museo di Scienze Naturali dell’Alto Adige, Utrecth University and National Natural History Museum ‘Naturalis’, and MUSE - Museo delle Scienze. The Per-mian-Triassic (P-T) extinction event occurred 251.4 ±0.3 million years ago and is considered the most severe extinction event of the Phan-erozoic, with a loss of at least 50% of families both within the terrestrial and the marine eco-systems, corresponding to an estimated loss of between 75% and 96% of all species.

The general aim of the project is to under-stand the composition and spatio-temporal re-

lationships of the Late Permian and Early-Mid-dle Triassic terrestrial ecosystems of the eastern Southern Alps.

The rate of extinction within the terrestrial realm and the time and mode of the plant and animal biotic recovery are investigated to under-stand if the Permian-Triassic ecological crisis documented in the Southern Alps mirrors the global pattern.

The climatic and environmental changes characteristic of the European Younger Dryas had a definitive impact on Late Epigravettian societies of north-eastern Italy, inducing several changes in the settlement dynamics of these human groups. As such, the aim of this proj-ect was to define a new model for interpreting these transformations through the analysis of all known archaeological sites in the Alps and the investigation of new sites in Trentino. The sites of Palù Echen, Lagét and Bus de la Lum, three open-air camps located respectively on the Fol-garia (TN, 1.260 m asl), Predaia (TN, 1.430 m asl) and Cansiglio Plateau (PN, 995 m asl), con-firm the continuity of seasonal frequentation of the mid-altitude mountain and provide new ele-ments for evaluating Younger Dryas settlement strategies. Distinctive features compared to the interstadial Late Glacial are provided by con-sidering the occupational area, the density and composition of the lithic industry, and the raw material provisioning areas. The results highlight a trend towards an increased simplification of the camp, with contraction of the activity area and execution of a wide range of activities linked to the production, acquisition and processing of food and other resources. The data on the lithic raw materials and the spatio-temporal segmen-tation of the reduction sequences also suggest a mobility no longer based on a few sites lo-cated in strategic positions and periodically re-occupied (as in the Alleröd period), but rather on numerous camps frequented for short periods as expression of a higher mobility pattern. No

information about hunting strategies and prey choices are available from these sites. New di-rections for addressing this topic have emerged from the discovering of a new site, Cornafessa rock shelter, located on the Lessini Mountain at 1.250 m asl (Ala, TN). This rock shelter, investi-gated through a first survey in 2015, has yield-ed an undisturbed layer dated to the Younger Dryas, characterized by rich cultural finds such as lithic, faunal and charcoal remains in a good state of preservation.

The Prehistory section carries out stud-ies on the history of human population of the north-Mediterranean regions. In the years 2014 and 2015 the research activities have been focused on the adaptations of Meso-lithic hunters to the landscape transforma-tions of the Alpine region during the Holo-cene. The archaeological evidence of Pozza Lavino (Ledro valley, Mount Tremalzo) at-tests a Mesolithic occupation in the western Trentino region that was hitherto almost un-documented. The site evidence, correlated to the known finds in the Brescia pre-Alps, gives support to the idea of a new route linking the western Trentino to the Po val-ley. Another research project was aimed at ascertain aspects of continuity and disconti-nuity in Sauveterrian-Castelnovian transition in north-eastern Italy, re-analyzing the lithic sequence of Romagnano Loc III rock shel-

ter (Adige valley) from a technological point of view. The results indicate that the major changes occurred are closely related to the introduction of new knapping techniques – indirect percussion/pressure; the persis-tence of some characters derived from the more ancient pragmatic Sauveterrian tradi-tion has also been highlighted.

LIFE WOLFALPSWolf in the Alps: implementation of coordinated wolf conservation actions in core areas and beyond

The project started in 2013 and it will end in 2018. The main goal of the WOLFALPS project is to implement and coordinate wolf conservation actions in key core areas and beyond in the Alps ecosystem, from West to East, to further support the natural wolf al-pine recolonization process; it will be reached thanks to several coordinated conservation actions.

MUSE coordinate the communication strategy that involves all partners. Its definition is one of the initial, priority actions of the pro-ject, because it is designed to address all the specific actions of communication, from infor-mation given to the shepherds and hunters, educational workshops, training for teachers, and much more. One of the most interest-

ing aspects of the communication activities LIFE WOLFALPS is the fact that it can rely on materials derived from the results of concrete actions for monitoring and conservation: so it is updated, reliable, scientific data.

In particular, the scientific communication team has been involved in the traveling exhibi-tion “Tempo di lupi” realization. This exhibition is dedicated to wolves for the general public and aims to give correct, scientific and objec-tive information about wolves. The exhibition is travelling across the Alps, hosted by the vari-ous project partners. Since December 2014, it was hosted in three different location, reaching about 17.300 visitors. The exhibition will travel until 2018 and after will be settle out in its per-manent form in Val Grande National Park (VCO).

Cultural MediationAssisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) as suitable tools

to analyze women’s and men’s wishes, fears and contradictions

The project “Towards a new ‘family say-ings’: opportunities, responsibilities and rights in Assisted Reproduction Technologies” was funded by the Autonomous Province of Trento and carried out in 2015. With a multidiscipli-nary approach, the project was coordinated by MUSE (Lucia Martinelli) and involved the As-sisted Reproductive Center of Trento Autono-mous Province Public Health Service; the Cen-tre for Religious Studies of B. Kessler Foun-dation; the Bio-low group of Trento University. Assisted Reproduction Technologies (ARTs) were investigated as suitable tools for analyz-ing fears and contradictions or our society. The narrative analysis of actors involved in ARTs in Internet-based social networking sites and during a focus group with patients, revealed the ambiguous interpretation of biology inno-vations as promoter of new opportunities or new facade of enduring contradictions. ‘Tim-ing’ and ‘aging’ were particularly stressed in narratives. This is quite noticeable in the case

of social freezing, i.e. the autologous human oocyte cryopreservation to store women’s eggs to be used later by the same donor for non-medical reasons. This practice poses new questions about timing related to fertil-ity decline and motherhood (Martinelli et al., 2015). In distorted information, social freez-ing to postpone parenthood is proposed as a suitable alternative to conventional reproduc-tion. When this practice is proposed as a new opportunity to conciliate professional needs and pregnancy, we may question if such gap should be rather deserve proper changes in social and working organization. A more inclu-sive society, for instance, should find structural solutions for supporting women to conciliate motherhood with social/professional lives, in-stead of ‘medicalizing’ a social problem.

Experimenting new public engagement practices in synthetic biology at MUSE

As part of the 7th FP UE project SYN-ENERGENE (http://www.synenergene.eu/), aimed at developing responsible research and innovation (RRI) practices in synthetic biology (synbio), we experimented a fresh public en-gagement activity. Our format is a workshop offered to MUSE’s visitors where participants may experiment how the commonly used flavor vanillin is industrially produced with synbio technology. According to RRI vision, participants can realize the different opinions of various actors involved in this controver-sial technology. Three videos are presented, respectively showing the perspectives of the industry producing synbio vanillin, of an aca-demic scientist developing synbio research, and of NGOs opposing synbio vanillin. Moreo-ver, participants are stimulated to express their

willingness to invest public support in synthetic biology research and eventually to choose an application among health, agriculture and en-vironment. Interesting information about lay-citizens‘ knowledge and opinion on synbio are collected with an ad hoc questionnaire provided to participants to collect their evalu-ation of the workshop and their understanding of the key messages delivered. Answers are compared with the results of questionnaires delivered to control MUSE’s visitors, not tak-ing part to the workshop. With this interactive workshop we propose science museums as suitable agoras for experimenting effective processes of public engagement in the light of RRI, where the various actors of science inno-vations can come together to share informa-tion and build up scientific knowledge.
