NEW FRONTIERS FOR MONITORING EUROPEAN BIODIVERSITY: THE ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF AMPHIPOD CRUSTACEANS.

Project: Research project

Project Details

Description

Nell'ambito del progetto è stata programmata una conferenza internazionale il cui obiettivo è fornire un’opportunità di incontro tra ricercatori, coinvolti nello studio della Biodiversità. La conferenza si ripropone di presentare ricerche, discutere temi, ricavare idee progettuali, che mettano in stretta relazione le attuali conoscenze zoologiche con le esigenze della ricerca applicata al monitoraggio della diversità in ambiente acquatico. La conferenza si articola in sei sessioni: 1. New needs, Old tools: how taxonomy can help in monitoring the present-day biodiversity changes. 2. How much diversity in Amphipoda (morphotypes, ecotypes, trophic categories). 3. Novel interactive tools recently developed and based on morphological characters. 4. Novel interactive tools recently developed and based on molecular characters. 5. Examples of the use of the taxon Amphipoda in environmental monitoring. 6. How decline in popularity of traditional taxonomy could impact on biology and society and which agencies support taxonomic research.
