The research activities at the Museo delle Scienze: Report 2012-2013
The period described in this report has seen the opening on
27th July 2013 of our new museum, MUSE - Museo delle
Scienze (previously Museo Tridentino di Scienze Naturali),
the first museum in Italy that harmoniously blends nature,
science and technology. Opening the new museum completed a transition process that lasted almost 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.
The new museum manages, in addition to the main museum in Trento, a whole network of centres for scientific
dissemination, established during the last 70 years. In Trentino these are: Botanical Alpine Garden on Viotte di Monte
Bondone, Museum on the Bronze Age at the Lago di Ledro,
Arco Arboretum, Glaciology Museum “J. Payer”, Aeronautic Museum “G. Caproni” in Trento, Bosco Caproni at Arco,
Lymnological Field Station at the Lago di Tovel and the Geology Museum of Dolomites in Predazzo. In Tanzania, MUSE
manages the Udzungwa Ecological Monitoring Centre, a
field station annexed to a national park of outstanding biodiversity importance.
The main museum in Trento is organized in four Areas managed by the general Directorate and the Administrative Directorate: Cultural mediation, Naturalistic Research, Museum
Territorial branches, Services. The research area includes
seven research sections: Botany, Limnology and Algology,
Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology, Vertebrate Zoology,
Tropical Biodiversity, Geology, Prehistory. They carry out the
traditional natural science disciplinary research activities,
both basic and applied, in the field of the environment, however they are commonly dedicated to the issue of biodiversity and ecology of mountain ecosystems. Our research
in this area concerns the documentation and monitoring of
species and communities that are sensitive to environmental
and climate change 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, morphology, and hydrology of the Alpine region in order to document and reconstruct their its
evolution; it analyses the aspects related to the evolution of
living organisms (vertebrate and invertebrate 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 in its institutional tasks, MUSE has an important role in the communication and dissemination of both scientific and environmental
culture, in order to foster the cultural, social and economic
development of well-rooted local communities and the reemergence of identity processes in the environmental field.

Preface
The MUSE has grown and evolved over time, and specifically in the last 2 years 18 new people were employed in the
permanent staff. At present (December 2013), it comprises
about 90 employees, of which 24 in the research staff, in
addition to more than 150 collaborators with different nonpermanent contract types.
Our researchers are supported by the a team of cultural
mediators scientific communicators, engaged in the dissemination of research results to citizens and stakeholders, in
planning and processing related to refunds related to higher
education and cultural mediation.
In the biennium 2012-2013 the MUSE promoted and participated to several research projects in collaboration with
local research institutes especially with the Edmund Mach
Foundation (FEM) in response to the Trento Province’s request to enhance cooperation on common research topics.
A strategically-important Memorandum of Understanding
was indeed signed with FEM to boost mutual collaboration
and the establishment of a platform of excellence on biodiversity research.
The national and international collaborations with other museums and research institutes has also increased, with the
boosting of large-scale research programmes in Europe and
Africa in the fields of biodiversity assessment, sustainable
development, environmental education.
The report provides quantitative indicators of such research
activities, 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 relevance of such results (at present about 5 millions of specimens/
items are hosted in the museum). Furthermore, part of the
about 5.000 m2 surface of gallery devotes exhibits to the field
of nature and biodiversity with special regards to the research
activities of the MUSE and other local institutes, providing the
diffusion of scientific data to the public in form of easily accessible contents. The Open Labs are working laboratories
designed to profile MUSE researchers, master and PhD students and to display the relevance of their work to the public.
In conclusion, I am grateful to all the personnel who contributed with constant care, dedication, enthusiasm and
professionalism to the performance of the MUSE, included
the administrative employers. A special mention goes to the
Autonomous 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 activities at the Museo delle Scienze: Report 2012-2013
MUSE - Museo delle Scienze is a new building designed by the world-famous architect Renzo
Piano. The building’s outline recalls the profile of the surrounding mountains, with a finely balanced contrast between empty and full spaces that adds charm and prestige to the entire exhibition venue. Built on eco-compatible criteria, MUSE is a model that sets the standard for a green
economy and for energy saving.
MUSE combines characteristics from both traditional natural science museums and modern
science centres in a very innovative way. This brand-new layout is enriched by a strong social
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 importance is the cultural objective of MUSE.

The 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 exhibits, interactive
games, hands-on experiments and the practical mixing of culture with DIY are the informal educational tools with which visitors can join the scientific debate about important local and global issues.
Specimens and objects exhibited outside glass boxes (“objects at hand”) represent one of the
innovative museology 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 service of
society, dedicated to nature and to the promotion of sustainability, science and innovation. MUSE
addresses local population by inspiring citizens but 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 three pillars, as it has elected as primary feature of its philosophy the
dialectic and constructive relationship between development and environmental 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 evolution of humanity’s technological skills and its relationship with nature and the landscape. This is one of the
strongest and most innovative conceptual focuses of MUSE. In this respect the exhibition floor
dedicated to pre-history with its succession of themes and experiences that are totally new to the
international museum scene, presents a refreshingly simple and direct viewpoint.
Reflection, experimentation, a cue for the visitor to return and acquire new educational experience and informal knowledge: MUSE targets a very wide range of visitors by choosing not to focus
on a specific age group. MUSE supports tourism by attracting visitors who wish to discover the
thousands of relations between the MUSE’s themes and the Alpine territory, and in particular
curious and attentive families, that are a must in the museum’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 resources, widening the view of individuals to encompass what new
technology and biotechnology we could develop in the future, so as to take steps towards a
harmonious symbiosis between mankind and the environment. This is where the investment in
future generations begins.

The research programmes
The research activities at the Museo delle Scienze: Report 2012-2013
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: Biodiversity and Ecology, Earth Sciences and Landscape.
Environmental research focuses mainly on the Alpine 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 level in key research networks, valuing international
research cooperation and participation to consortia and competitive projects, delivering research
products relevant at global level. Since 2008 however, research on mountain ecosystems of other
parts of the world has begun, especially in biodiversity-rich mountain forests of eastern Africa.
Research on the public communication of science continuously develops new means to raise public
awareness on the alpine environment, promoting the sustainable use of its resources, necessary to
grant an environmentally 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 using scientific tools, addressing the challenges posed by the modern times and promoting the values of science, innovation and sustainable development.
Since 2012 a new focus on documenting and valuing the landscape with all its biotic and abiotic
dimensions, and with emphasis on biodiversity research and conservation is being framed, with the
contribution of all the seven research sections. Such unified research theme aims to bring up their
strategic value in the field of conservation planning from the landscape level down to ecosystems,
communities and species level. This is because environmental research is increasingly called to
inform the public, including the administrators, on scientifically-sound ways to manage the environment. MUSE has an exceptional potential towards this goal, as it is one of the few institutions in
Trento Province that can use its vast documentation knowledge on nature to address 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 vertebrates), 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 activities 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
global 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 sections in biodiversity documentation through the aggregation of data in
specific databases, production of scientific publications and scientific and technical reports
(eg. 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
macro-area “Earth and Landscape Sciences”.
14
The research programmes
Macroarea Earth Sciences and Lanscape
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 infrastructural 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 components (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 transformations 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.

The research activities at the Museo delle Scienze: Report 2012-2013
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 protected areas and urban areas. Such research has relevant implications for conservation
because 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 national 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 international value of the MUSE seed bank.
--
Biological diversity and conservation of tropical and sub-tropical regions. These
researches originates from the assessment of the forest vertebrate diversity of poorly
known or even previously unexplored areas, and subsequently involves 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 surrounding 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.
This 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. Of particular value are the abundant examples of mobilary prehistoric art discovered in prehistoric sites of Trentino.
16
The research programmes
--
Interconnections between scientific and technological innovations and social implications, focusing especially on sustainability issues of the sciences of life and its applications. 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 recommendations relevant to environmental management, valuing nature for tourism, and public
engagement in science. MUSE’s researchers work alongside with professionals and administrators linked to the Provincia autonoma di Trento, contributing with environmental impact
assessments and the provision of wildlife and protected area management plans.

The scientific collections
The research activities at the Museo delle Scienze: Report 2012-2013
The natural history and archaeological collections of the Museo delle Scienze (about 300 collections and 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 order 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 60.3% of the preserved heritage is fully catalogued with a specific software in accordance with the national standards.
In 2012-2013 MUSE received several loan requests: 62 outgoing loans were approved, 49 for
research purposes and 13 for temporary exhibitions. The MUSE collections specimens were
described or used as material in 35 different publications written by the museum staff or by other
researchers who borrowed MUSE collections objects. Acquisition and documentation increased
conspicuously with 6,021 new objects, 10,838 new catalogue cards digitized and 19,064 revised.

The scientific colllections
Tropical Biodiversity
Since 1998 MTSN has conducted several research expeditions in the mountain
rainforests of Tanzania, that have led to a collection 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 collection 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 udzungwensis, the giant elephant-shrew discovered by MUSE
researchers and described in 2008.
Botany
Botany collections are made up by the herbarium and the living collections of the
museum’s two botanic gardens (Viotte 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 local from Trentino and Tirol but a significant part of the collections originate from other parts of Italy, Europe and North Africa. Viotte alpine garden grows
more than 1,200 alpine species from the major mountain chains of the world, with
a special interest for endemic and threatened species, Arco arboretum includes
nearly 200 species of fine and tender trees of garden interest. The seeds bank
focuses on threatened and endemic species of conservation interest originating
from the Eastern Alps.
Limnology and Phycology
Phycological and limnological collections of the MUSE include more than 4,000
items collected 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, zoobenthos and zooplankton- collected mainly
in the Alps, and namely in the Autonomous Province of Trento. Besides these
recently started collections, the Section also curates four historical algae collections including 4,000 exsiccata of marine and freshwater algae originating from
different locations worldwide and collected mainly in the Nineteenth Century.
Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology
Invertebrate collections of the MUSE include more than 1,2 million of specimens, aquatic and terrestrial. Historical collections (1850-1950 yr) include
mainly terrestrial insects (about 175,000 specimens) and marine, freshwater
and terrestrial molluscs. Most part of specimens (terrestrial and aquatic) are
preserved in ethanol and were collected mainly in mountain regions in Italy but
also abroad (Svalbard Islands, Pakistan-Karakorum, France-Pyrenees, etc.). A
collection of more than 5,000 microscope slides of aquatic insects and crustaceans is also present.
Vertebrate Zoology
The 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 were collected between 1850 and 1950, while the
rest come from recent donations, acquisitions 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.

Geology
Geological collections of the MUSE are constituted 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, collected in a temporal range of more then two centuries, well
document the local territory and testify the geological research enterprise of the Trentino area.
Prehistory
MuSe’s archaeological collections are referred to lithic materials, ceramics, bone and horn manufacts, art manufacts, wood, vegetal fibres, 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 (almost 300) with zoomorphic, antropomorphic and schematic pictures, coming from Riparo Dalmeri (Trento) are exceptionally relevant.

Valve deformities of the diatom Achnanthidium minutissimum
as indicators of metal enrichment in diverse widely-distributed
freshwater habitats
Section of Limnology and Phycology
In the presence of different environmental
stressors, diatoms can produce frustules presenting different types of deformities. Metals
and trace elements are among the most common causes of these teratological forms. Metal
enrichment in water bodies can be attributed to
the geological setting of the area or to pollution.
The widespread benthic diatom Achnanthidium
minutissimum (ADMI) is one of the most metaltolerant species. In the present study, ADMI
teratologies were defined from samples taken
from eight very diverse, widely-distributed inlandwater habitats: streams affected by active and
abandoned mining areas, a metal-contaminated
stream, a spring in an old chalcopyrite mine, a
mineral-water fountain, and a sediment core
taken from a lake affected by metal contamination in the past. Deformed frustules of ADMI were
characterised mainly by one (sometimes two)
more or less bent off ending, conferring to the
specimens a cymbelloid outline (cymbelliclinumlike teratology, CLT). Marked teratologies were
distinguished from slight deformities. Hydrochemical analyses, including metals and trace elements, were carried out and enrichment factors
(EF) relative to average crustal composition were
calculated. To improve our knowledge on the
potential of different metals and trace elements
to trigger the occurrence of ADMI CLT, we carefully selected 15 springs out of 110 (CRENODAT
dataset) where both ADMI and above-average
metal or metalloid concentrations occurred, and
30
re-analysed these samples. The results from the
eight widely-distributed core sites as well as from
the 15 selected CRENODAT springs led to the
hypothesis that two metals (copper and zinc)
and a metalloid (antimony) were the most likely
triggers of ADMI CLT formation. From a quantitative point of view, it is worth noting that the lowest
concentrations triggering ADMI CLT can be fairly
low, particularly in the case of copper contamination. The antimony-rich site was characterised by
a marked-teratology variant where both ends of
ADMI were bent off.

The impact of climate change on alpine plants
Biodiversity
and Ecology
Section of Botany
Despite the considerable number of studies on the impact of climate change on alpine
plants, there have been only few attempts to
investigate its effect on regeneration. However,
recruitment is a key event in the life-history of
plants, affecting their distribution and evolution. Seasonal changes in turn will affect the
recruitment success. In the context of a Marie Curie Co-Fund Post-Doc grant named
CAPACE, MUSE is investigating how climate
change will affect the timing and the level of
germination and subsequent seedling establishment in eight alpine species occurring in
glacier foreland in the European Alps.
Using a novel approach which takes into
account the altitudinal variation of temperature
as a surrogate for future climate scenarios,
seeds were exposed to higher temperature
cycles in the lab and in the field both on site
and at a lower altitude (400 m lower). In both
conditions, subsequent experiments investigated seedling emergence and survival. Under
lab conditions simulating the present climate,
germination occurred in spring in all but one
species, after the seeds had experienced
autumn and winter seasons. However, simulated climate warming produced a significant
increase in germination during the autumn in
all species with the only exception of two of
them. By contrast, seed germination was less
sensitive to changes in spring and/or winter
temperatures and duration. Experiments in
the wild similarly showed spring emergence
in the present climate, and confirmed autumn
emergence in the warmest conditions. The
seedlings emerged in autumn mostly survived
the winter and the final recruitment was higher
only at lower altitude. Our results suggest that
climate warming will lead to a shift from spring
to autumn emergence in alpine plants, but that
the extent of this change will be driven by the
dormancy status. Un-germinated seeds at
the end of the autumn will experience shorter
winter seasons and lower spring temperatures
resulting in an increased recruitment.

Spatial arthropod-richness gradients across areas with different
glacial histories
Section of Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology
During the last glacial period the Italian Alps
were covered by glacier tongues, in contrast to
the Alps, Prealpine areas were only partially covered by glaciers. During interglacial periods, as
glaciers retreated, populations became isolated
in the highest parts of the Prealpine mountains
or took refuge in cold, moist interiors of caves.
Aim of the study performed by the Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology Section of the
MUSE in cooperation with Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Verona was to investigate the distribution of cave-dwelling arthropod communities in 2 adjacent karst areas with different glacial
histories.
Endemic and obligate cave-dwelling faunas
were recorded in 60 caves located in 2 adjacent Prealpine areas (in Veneto, northeastern
Italy): the Baldo and Lessinia Mountain groups
were compared. During the last glacial period,
the Baldo Mountain group was completely surrounded and isolated from the Lessinia group
by the Adige glacier, while the Lessinia was only
partially surrounded.
The effect of glacial isolation, both geographically (cave locations) and elevationally (cave el-
32
evation), on the faunal distribution was tested
using the number of troglobiont and endemic
species collected in each area.
The Lessinia hosts a higher number of troglobiont species and a lower number of endemic
species compared to those of the Baldo area.
Furthermore, results indicated that the similarity
in species assemblages in caves was not driven
by their geographic location, but by colonization patterns caused by isolation created by the
Adige glacier during the last ice age. This suggests that the geographic isolation of the Baldo
area during Quaternary climatic fluctuations determined the species which colonized the caves
and consequently prevented multiple colonizations during warm periods.
Glacier-induced isolation during the last ice
age can therefore be considered one of the main
factors which determined terrestrial arthropod
colonization of caves in the Prealps area.

Demographic consequences of poison-related mortality
in a threatened bird of prey
Biodiversity
and Ecology
Section of Vertebrate Zoology
Evidence for decline or threat of wild populations typically come from multiple sources
and methods that allow optimal integration of
the available information represent a major advance in planning management actions. We
used integrated population modelling and perturbation analyses to assess the demographic
consequences of the illegal use of poison for an
insular population of Red Kites, Milvus milvus, in
the island of Mallorca (Spain).
We first pooled into a single statistical
framework the annual census of breeding
pairs, the available individual-based data, the
average productivity and the number of birds
admitted annually to the local rehabilitation
centre. By combining these four types of information we were able to increase estimate
precision and to obtain an estimate of the
proportion of breeding adults, an important
parameter that was not directly measured in
the field and that is often difficult to assess.
Subsequently, we used perturbation analyses
to measure the expected change in the population growth rate due to a change in poisonrelated mortality.
We found that poison accounted for 0.43
to 0.76 of the total mortality, for yearlings and
older birds, respectively. Results from the deterministic population model indicated that this
mortality suppressed the population growth
rate by 20%. Despite this, the population was
estimated to increase, albeit slowly. This positive trend was likely maintained by a very high
productivity (1.83 fledglings per breeding pair)
possibly promoted by supplementary feeding, a
situation which is likely to be common to many
large obligate or facultative European scavengers. Under this hypothetical scenario of double
societal costs (poisoning of a threatened species and feeding programs), increasing poison
control would help to lower the public cost of
maintaining supplementary feeding stations.

determined these changes. Data from experts
were validated using empirical data-sets. One
of the sites is the Udzungwa Mountains of Tanzania, where MUSE has been involved in research and technical advisory to the protected
areas for over a decade.
Results showed that despite the protection, the biodiversity is not well conserved.
Estimates of how biodiversity is changed in
numbers over the past 2-3 decades suggest
that about half of the reserves are struggling
to sustain their original biodiversity. While reserves with ground protection fare better, protection clearly must include the landscapes
and habitats surrounding reserves, which are
under threats particularly from habitat disruption and overharvesting.
A simple research question led to the
study published in 2012 in Nature, titled
“Averting biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas“, and signed by William
Laurence along with the impressive number of
215 co-authors: are protected areas in tropical forests succeeding to conserve earth’s
richest biodiversity? The question is critical,
because the rapid destruction of rainforests
is the contemporary phenomenon having
the greatest impact on life on earth. Hence,
protected areas are the last chance, the final
refuge, to protect threatened tropical species
and ecosystems.
The study looked at more than 30 different categories of species—from trees, and
butterflies to primates and large predators in
these regions. And used experts working in
60 protected areas across the tropics to determine trends in the abundance of these species inside and outside protected areas, and in

New records of two protected insects (Leucorrhinia pectoralis
and Osmoderma eremita) threatened by habitat loss
Biodiversity

Section of Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology
Within a project financed by the Autonomous Province of Trento and focused on the
distribution of invertebrates in protected areas of Trentino, we carried out surveys for the
update of the entomological data in Sites of
Community Importance (SCI).
New records of two insect species listed
both in the Habitat Directive and in the IUCN
European Redlist were collected in Sites of
Community Importance (SCI) in Valsugana
(eastern Trentino). Specifically, the species are:
the dragonfly Leucorrhinia pectoralis (Insecta:
Odonata) and the hermit beetle Osmoderma
eremita (Insecta: Coleoptera).
L. pectoralis colonizes preferentially densely vegetated habitats with mesotrophic to
eumesotrophic, still or slow flowing acidic or

and it is present with small and scattered local
populations.
The only historical certain record in Italy is
about the peat bogs of Iseo (Brescia, Lombardy), however, the last record of the species
dates back to 2003. In addition the only historical certain record for Trentino was on three
nymphs that were harvested in Fiavè peat bog
on 25.VII.1972. In the summer 2012, a large
population of L. pectoralis was observed in the
SCI Monte Piano - Palù di Fornace which is a
densely vegetated peat bog in medium stage
of ecological succession (~0.2 ha).
O. eremita is a saproxylic beetle that develops and dwells in old, hollow, but still living,
broadleaf trees, feeding off wood mould. Its
low vagility added to the increasing absence of
old hollow trees with wood mould makes the
species undergoing significant decline. Several
historical data were present in Trentino, but all
belonging to the period 1880-1965. During
the summer 2012 O. eremita was collected in
the SCI Torcegno in wood mould of chestnut
trees. These records enhance the historical,
socio-economic and naturalistic importance of
the monumental chestnut trees of the Valsugana area.

The age of island-like habitats impacts habitat specialist species
richness in calcareous-spring fens
Section of Limnology and Phycology
Understanding the factors controlling species richness is of paramount importance to
develop effective conservation strategies. In
a collaborative work among the University of
Brno, New Mexico and MUSE, for the first time
we tested the importance of habitat age, size,
isolation, and climate on species richness for
three organism groups (vascular plants, bryophytes, and mollusks) inhabiting calcareousspring fens of Czech Republic, Slovakia, and
Poland. Habitat age was determined coring
peat sediment and using radiometric dating
technique. The model suggests that the dispersal ability of species has long-lasting impacts on habitat specialist richness, especially
for long-lived organisms with poor dispersal
abilities such as vascular plants. Because of
this, older habitats will more likely possess
richer floras/faunas through both long-term
relict-species persistence as well as the longer
time required for interpatch dispersers with
poor dispersal abilities to effectively saturate
potential habitats within a landscape. Ancient
and large spring fens therefore deserve priority
in conservation.

Population abundance, size structure and sex-ratio in an insular
lizard
Section of Vertebrate Zoology
Estimating population size and understanding its variation is a fundamental, yet
complicated, aim of many ecological studies. We considered the problem of estimating
spring and autumn population abundance,
size-dependent population structure and sexratio of the endemic Balearic Lizard, Podarcis
lilfordi from a three occasions capture-recapture study. Lizards were captured using pit
traps positioned along and within the bushes,
in a five hectares islet off the southern coast of
Mallorca Island (Balearic Islands, Spain).
We used a Bayesian formulation of individual covariate models to incorporate individual
sex, size and trap-response. We first considered a set of simulated data with a mediumto-low probability of recapture and individual
recapture heterogeneity to evaluate potential
problems in model fitting and selection. Results from simulated data indicated a low performance in parameter estimation and model
selection when probability of detection was
low (0.15-0.30). We found a negative permanent trap response and a positive effect of size
on detection probability in the spring survey
but not in the autumn one.
The estimated mean densities varied from
about 800 to 1000 lizards/ha, a high value
when comparing with mainland lizard populations. The observed increase in abundance
was probably due to a drop in territorial behaviour and the immigration of females into
the area sampled. As a consequence, sexratio changed from nearly even in June (mean
posterior, 95% CRI; 0.928, 0.676-1.167) to a
female-skewed population in October (0.612,
0.478-0.772).

Cues to androgens and quality in male gibbon songs
Section of Tropical Biodiversity
Whether signals provide honest information about the sender is a central question for
understanding the evolution of communication. By investigating animals’ complex vocal
signals, such as gibbon songs, and their relation to hormones as well as socio-demographic status (i.e., age, social organization, mating
system) we aimed to provide new information
in this respect.
Our results show a highly significant correlation between androgen levels and vocal
pitch, which shows the opposite of what is
known about the influence of testosterone on
male voice in humans. It is known that during
puberty, elevated testosterone may act through
androgen receptors on vocal folds and causes
their growth. By lengthening and thickening the
vocal folds, fundamental frequency becomes
lower and, as a consequence, men vocalize
with lower pitch. However, in non-human primate vocalizations, data from two studies on
chacma baboons indirectly suggest a positive
rather than negative relationship between male
testosterone levels and vocal pitch, which is
one of the rare examples showing the influence of testosterone levels on vocalizations.
One possible interpretation is that androgen
levels lead to a higher motivation to sing which
may trigger structural changes in vocalizations.
Independent of the proximate mechanism, it is
likely that group members use such structural
differences to assess motivation and status of
the caller. This higher motivation could lead to
calls having higher amplitude and thus an increase in call pitch.
Socio-demographic features did not seem
to have any impact on song parameters, except for age. A comparison of call duration
of senior and adult males showed that adult
males sang longer than senior ones. This finding, combined with the result that males having higher androgens sang with higher pitched
voice, suggests that solo songs may potentially provide honest signals of male quality and
could play an important role in mate choice
and male male competition.

Experimental evidences of thermotolerance associated to HSP70
proteins synthesis in larvae of the cold stream non-biting midges
Section of Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology
In most organisms, the genes encoding
heat shock proteins (HSPs) are expressed primarily in response to stress but not in normal
conditions, probably because hsp expression
at normal temperature may be deleterious during development. Conversely, animals from extreme habitats, such as deserts and polar regions, express constitutive hsp genes always
and show no or modest up-regulation of these
genes in response to thermal stress.
Laboratory experiments on the cold stenothermal Diamesa cinerella (Diptera, Chironomidae) were performed to study the relationship
between acute heat shocks and HSP70 expression at translational level. IV instar larvae
were collected in a cold (1.5-4.3°C) alpine
stream (Trentino) throughout the year. A high
thermotolerance was detected (LT50 = 30.932.8°C and LT100 = 34.0-37.8°C), decreasing
consistently with increasing exposure time, es-
pecially at higher temperature (LTime50 = 7.64
h at 26°C and LTime50 = 1.73 h at 32°C). A
relationship between HSP70 level and larval
survival rate was generally found, with a Heat
Shock Response (= hsp70 up-regulation) consistent in summer. These results stressed how
in this midge the HSP70 protein family confers
resistance against cold, being detected under
natural conditions in control larvae collected
in all seasons, but also against warm under
experimental heat shocks. These results give
new insights into possible responses to climate changes in freshwater insects within the
context of global warming.

Naviculadicta lange-bertalotii, a new freshwater diatom from
streams in Galicia.
Section of Limnology and Phycology
Since the beginning of the 1990s, the Limnology and Phycology Research Unit of the
Museo delle Scienze is dealing with different
type of mountain freshwater habitats: springs,
streams, lakes.
One of the most relevant taxonomic results
of a study of the Galicia-Costa watershed district (north-western Spain), in which 28 rivers
were sampled between 2002 and 2007, has
been the discovery of a new species of diatom,
that has been named Naviculadicata langebertalotii M. Cantonati et M. Leira sp. nov. The type
locality (Soutomaior, at the River Verdugo) is a
stream stretch located in a narrow valley with
steep slopes. The river bed is dominated by
hard geological substrata, such as granites and
phyllites. No intensive agricultural and important
livestock activities are carried out, and population density is relatively low. The stream is shallow, and reaches a certain width that facilitates
the penetration of light. To date, we found the
new species only in three streams of Galicia:
river Verdugo, river Lérez, and river Eume. The
new diatom is distinguished by a rather peculiar character combination. Of the established
naviculoid genera, it mostly resembles Adlafia
Lange-Bertalot but striae are not as dense and
abruptly convergent towards the valve ends,
and there are several minor differences, e.g.
in the outline and exact position of the external terminal raphe fissures. The new species
is dedicated to Prof. Dr. Horst Lange-Bertalot
(Frankfurt am Main, Germany), in recognition of
his extraordinary contributions to diatom taxonomy and ecology. The description was published in 2012 in the journal Nova Hedwigia.
The financial support for this study has
been provided by Augas de Galicia (Xunta de
Galicia, Spain).

Bird ecology and conservation in the agricultural landscapes of
the Trento province
Biodiversity
and Ecology
Section of Vertebrate Zoology
Farmland habitats host a large number
of threatened species at the European level.
Among breeding birds, several species have
undergone severe declines both at the continental level, and in Trento province. One of the
main tool to promote biodiversity conservation
in farmed landscapes is the Rural Development
Programme (RDP), which includes agro-environmental schemes. Within this project, started
in 2010, we analysed the breeding ecology of
farmland species of high conservation value in
the Trento province, and the effect of the implementation of the RDP on farmland bird species.
We continued the research on grassland
habitat and species, also within the framework
of the project LIFE+ TEN. We carried out new
surveys of the corncrake Crex crex population
in the main occurrence sites in the province,
assessed the effects of the RDP on its demographical trend over the province, and coordinated researchers from other regions to obtain
a general picture of the species status in Italy.
The simultaneous mowing over large areas favoured by some specific measures implemented by the RDP is likely to have severely affected
the species and its breeding grassland habitats.
The species is suffering from both land abandonment and agricultural intensification also in
the other regions. Measures to conserve grasslands must be implemented, but they should
take into account the ecological requirements
of conservation-dependent species like the
corncrake.
We analysed the effect of structural and
management features in apple orchards on
species diversity and abundance. Our study
had a particular focus on song thrush Turdus
philomelos, a species that occurs at high density in orchards, which host a significant breeding
population of the species. Thrush abundance is
affected by factors strongly dependent on orchard management, such as tree height, bare
soil, type of irrigation, cover of anti-hail nets,
use of herbicide and by the occurrence of nonorchards habitats, such as wetland.
This work is still ongoing and will be carried
out also by means of a PhD program (started

Leading research in IBSE education
Section of Botany
In the last two years MUSE concluded the
INQUIRE project - Inquiry-based teacher training for a sustainable future - an FP7 project in
the Science and Society framework, aiming to
promote Science Education and Career development, specifically focusing on IBSE - inquiry
based Science Education. Globally the project
run 29 training courses in 11 European counties involving 560 practitioners: 411 teacher
and 149 museum and botanic garden educators, reaching out during its duration, to more
than 10,000 pupils across Europe and having
the potential to reach out 100 times more end
users for its long term impact. The project published a course manual available in 9 European languages and a Train the Trainers manual
42
available in English only, all downloadable from
the project website www.inquirebotany.eu. In
the Italian context MUSE took up a national
leadership in IBSE training 72 practitioners:
32 teachers and 40 educators with 2 courses
held at MUSE in Trento and at the Botanic Garden in Bergamo. The train the trainer course
was run in summer 2013 and received 84 applications for 34 posts available, with representatives from 14 Italian regions. MUSE will
run a new course in summer 2014 and at least
other 3 institution are taking up the INQUIRE
format to run a similar course in other parts of
Italy. The project has been formally congratulated by the EU a success story and has been
celebrated at many education meetings.

Forests as promoters of terrestrial life-history strategies in East
African amphibians
Section of Tropical Biodiversity
Many amphibian lineages show terrestrialization of their reproductive strategy and
breeding is partially or completely independent of water. A number of causal factors have
been proposed for the evolution of terrestrialized breeding. While predation has received
repeated attention as a potential factor, the
influence of other factors such as habitat has
never been tested using appropriate data or
methods. Using a dataset that comprises 180
amphibian species from various East African
habitats, we tested whether species occurring
in different habitats show different patterns of
terrestrialization in their breeding strategy. We
recovered a significant association between
terrestrialized breeding strategies and forest
habitats. In general, forest seems to act as a
facilitator, providing a permissive environment
for the evolution of terrestrialized breeding
strategies. However, while terrestrial oviposition is strongly correlated with lowland and
montane forest habitat, complete terrestrial
development is significantly correlated with
montane forest only, indicating different selective pressures acting at different steps towards
complete terrestrial development.

The investigation of riverine diatoms from Cyprus
Section of Limnology and Phycology
The Limnology and Phycology Research Unit
has a long research tradition on different oligotrophic habitats such as springs, high-mountain
lakes, different types of mountain streams. Other
types of freshwater environments, such as the
mediterranean rivers, were studied more recently
in the frame of the analysis of the riverine diatoms from Cyprus in order to have a first overview on the diatom community composition, and
on ecological quality. The river sites cover a large
environmental gradient and are subject both to
typical natural hydrological variability of mediterranean sites, and antrophic pressures due to agricultural and urban land use. About 200 diatoms
samples were processed after being collected
between 2005 and 2012 in perennial and temporary water courses selected from the national
monitoring network. More than 350 taxa belonging to more than 70 genera were identified. Every
sample was identificated and counted; different
indices were calculated using the OMNIDIA software, in particular the IPS index, i.e. the national
assessment method adopted in Cyprus to assess ecological quality using phytobenthos. Diatoms are an important component of aquatic
ecosystems and constitute a water quality monitoring tool where the main objective is either a
measure of general water quality or of some
components of water quality (e.g., eutrophication, pH). The method is based on the fact that
diatom species have tolerance limits and optima
with respect to their preference for environmental
conditions such as nutrients, organic pollution,
and acidity. The ecological quality of Cyprus rivers was evaluated applying the IPS Index. Most
of the sites resulted in high and good classes.
The taxonomic analysis of the diatom samples
from the running waters of Cyprus was carried
out with the maximum detail possible, thus allowing to discover three species new to science,
and ten putative species new to science.
We are grateful to David Armanini and Elisa
Stocchetti (Prothea Srl, Milan, Italia), Martin Kelly

Chironomids as bioindicators of environmental quality in mountain
springs
Section of Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology
Among macroinvertebrates, chironomids
(Diptera: Chironomidae) are a candidate as
the best bioindicators of spring water quality
because they typically dominate spring fauna
in terms of abundance and species number.
Responses of chironomid communities to environmental factors in 124 natural, moderately,
and highly disturbed springs in the Italian Prealps and Alps were analyzed
Natural or little-disturbed springs at high altitude with low temperature, low conductivity,
and high current velocity differed from lowland
springs, including highly disturbed ones, with
low current velocity and higher temperature,
conductivity, and nutrient concentrations. Cold
stenothermal intolerant species were clustered
in the 1st group, tolerant and euriecious species in the 2nd group by Self Organizing Map
analysis. Indicator value analysis detected
species characterizing springs with different
degrees of disturbance and of different types.
Coinertia Analysis (CoA) detected relationships
among species structure and environmental
variables. CoA axis 1 represented a gradient
of water temperature, altitude, alkalinity, and
conductivity and separated cold stenothermal
species (Pseudokiefferiella parva, Pseudodiamesa branickii, Diamesa spp.) from species
tolerant of high temperatures (Polypedilum
nubeculosum, Phaenopsectra flavipes, Paratrissocladius excerptus). Axis 2 represented a
hydrologic (rheocrene-limnocrene) and anthropogenic disturbance (total disturbance, agriculture, organic debris) gradient and separated
species by preference for water velocity and
spring type (rheocrenes: Eukiefferiella spp.;
limnocrenes: Prodiamesa olivacea, Natarsia
sp.), and pollution tolerance (P. nubeculosum,
Macropelopia spp.). Water temperature and
chemical composition affected chironomid
distribution. Some species were associated
with degraded (P. nubeculosum) or pristine
conditions (Diamesa spp., Stilocladius montanus). These results implement our knowledge
on environmental factors influencing species
distribution in springs and on evaluation of
chironomids as bioindicators of spring water
quality.

Developing an Afro-mountain rainforest in Trento
Section of Botany
A new, geographically focused, living display has been growing at MUSE since summer
2013. Such a special and unique feature required a careful planning, integrating the diverse
expertise of biologists, engineers and landscape
architects that soon had to face the complexities of developing a tropical living biome under
grass constrained by the European climate and
the architecture of the new building. Significant
new research was needed to test and develop effective and energy efficient solutions for
climate control specifically tailored for MUSE.
Highlights include ultra clear, UV transparent,
double glazed, safety glass panes, a powerful
fresh air circulation system capable to remove
excessive moisture and renovate the volume of
air in the glasshouse 10 times per hour, an adiabatic heat recovery and free cooling ventilation.
Significant research was also needed to explore
the African plant diversity available on the European nursery trade to produce an immersive
and realistic display, that attracts and invites the
visitor to explore the Udzungwas: a mountain
rainforest in Tropical East Africa (Tanzania). The
route starts from the eastern lowland marshes,
wet cliffs, ponds and waterfalls getting into a
pristine wet and lush mountain rainforest represented by many African trees and shrubs
46
belonging the genera Ficus, Sterculia, Tabernaemontana, Ensete, Afrocarpus, Costus,
Dracena and Phylodendron, passing into the
driest western slopes with baobas and palms
and slowly emerging in the cultivated highlands
with the most common tropical crops such as
bananas, tea, coffee, cocoa, sugarcane, and
an African vegetable garden and market stall
with African millets and beans (genus Eleusine
and Vigna), pigeon pea, roselle, taro, yam but
also interesting local neglected crops such as
Telfairia pedata. This initial display is still constrained by plant availability in the nursery trade
and will be progressively enriched with plants
sourced directly in Tropical East Africa thanks to
international agreements and the collaborative
support of the local Tanzanian botanists based
at Dar University and Forestry Department. The
new plants will be propagated from seed in the
new research greenhouse at the moment being
build in the stadium grounds opposite MUSE,
providing an opportunity to investigate seed
ecology and germination of tropical rainforest
species never studied before. The greenhouse
opened to the public together with MUSE in
July 2013 and passed excellently the test of the
first six months of operation with healthy and
fast growing plants.

New insights in the life of the recently discovered sengi as revealed
by camera traps
Section of Tropical Biodiversity
Three of the 4 species of giant sengis or elephant shrews (genus Rhynchocyon) have restricted geographic distributions in eastern Africa
and are threatened by anthropogenic habitat
loss. However, little is known about their ecology
and habitat relationships. We used remotely triggered cameras to detect the grey-faced sengi
(Rhynchocyon udzungwensis), which is endemic
in the Udzungwa Mountains of Tanzania and was
described in 2008 by MUSE’s researchers as the
fourth species of the genus. The study aim was
to defining distributional limits, estimating occupancy patterns, and determining habitat requirements. We deployed 183 camera stations over 6
years and accumulated 4,600 camera trapping
days. We refined the area of known occurrence
to be 390 km2, thus confirming the species’ restricted range and vulnerability. We estimated the
average occupancy at 56% of sites occupied on
sites sampled, and found that occupancy was
best predicted by the forest habitat type, with
interior, closed-canopy forest supporting highest
estimated sengi occupancy. Terrain slope and
distance to the nearest park boundary were less
important covariates, but nevertheless included
among the best models. Camera-trapping rate
(photographic events by day) was significantly correlated with subcanopy tree coverage.
Combined, these habitat features may provide
optimal conditions for antipredation vigilance
(vegetation cover), and for nest-building and/or
foraging on invertebrates in the thicker leaf litter
on gentle slopes. Our results offer new insights
into the ecology of giant sengis and confirm the
potential utility of camera trapping for occupancy
analysis of small, forest-dwelling mammals.

Animal ecology through stable isotope analysis
Section of Vertebrate Zoology
The project will focus on isotopic methods
applied to Alpine bird migration. Stable isotope
ratios of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen
and sulfur can help in understanding geographic provenance, trophic level and food webs of
the birds. Keratinous tissues like feathers carry
informations about the areal where they grew,
revealing connectivity existing between breeding and wintering areal. Post-breeding migration through the Alps, whose dynamics are not
well known up to now, will be investigated in
order to discover which populations are in-
48
volved in this phenomenon. The use of extrinsic markers, such as banding recoveries and
morphometrics, or genetics that have been
used until now to study such phenomenon,
led no improvement on the knowledge about
geographical provenance of migrants. Aim of
the study is to unravel which populations cross
the Alps, in which period and with which densities. The increase of knowledge that could
result from this study could help to support the
conservation of migratory birds, particularly in
the case of endangered species.

Designing the Seed Bank of MUSE
Biodiversity
and Ecology
Section of Botany
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 design these
two rooms have been separated into two distinct areas that serve the two main stages of the
seed processing cycle: a ‘dirty’ zone attached to
the seed curation lab for initial drying and seed
cleaning and a ‘clean’ zone for final drying and
packaging next to the seed germination 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 incubators and
is equipped for sterile procedures. An additional
external area, close to the propagation greenhouse, is equipped with tanks for liquid nitrogen
storage for experimental long term conservation
of species that are short lived in conventional dry
cold storage. This major upgrade 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 approved 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, delivering ecosystem services impact mitigation in the many infrastructure

A special series of papers on The Ecology of Springs published in
Freshwater Science
Section of Limnology and Phycology
Springs are unique aquatic habitats that
contribute significantly to local and regional biodiversity because of their high habitat complexity
and the large number of different spring types.
Many springs are small, but they are numerous
and often of high water quality, and thus, provide habitats for species that are rare elsewhere
because of their sensitivity to anthropogenic impacts (least-impaired habitat relicts). Springs are
often species-rich and contain a larger number
of Red List taxa than other aquatic habitats. Hydrological factors, particularly flow permanence,
water chemistry, and temperature are important
ecological factors determining species distribution and community composition. Despite their
importance for biodiversity and water quality,
springs are much less studied than other aquatic
ecosystems. They also are insufficiently covered
by protective legislation, often resulting in the destruction of their natural habitat. The authors of
papers in this special issue (15 articles) describe
specific spring biota, including multitaxon studies, and discuss the role of environmental factors,
habitat variability at different spatial and temporal
scales, and the importance of natural and anthropogenic disturbance in spring habitats. They
suggest directions for future research, including
defining reference conditions for springs and
their role in long-term ecological research, the
development of quality-assessment methods,
and their more sustainable use as freshwater
resources.

Section of Prehistory
The climatic and environmental changes
characteristic of the European Younger Dryas
had a definitive impact on Epigravettian societies of north-eastern Italy, inducing several
changes in the mobility pattern of these human groups. This project aims to define a new
model for interpreting settlement system put
in place during Younger Dryas, through the
analysis of all known archaeological sites in the
Alps and the investigation of new sites in Trentino. New directions for addressing this topic
have emerged from studies of Palù Echen, an
open-air camp located on the Folgaria Plateau
(Trentino, Italy) at an altitude of 1 260 m, near
an ancient lake basin which is today a peat
bog. The archaeological deposits are dated to
12 209 ± 197 years cal. BP and consist solely
of undisturbed lithic material preserved thanks
to the repeated deposition of colluvial sediments covering the original Epigravettian living
floor. The simplicity of the spatial organisation,
combined with the near complete absence of
52
hearths and the limited dispersal of the material, suggest short-terms occupations, consistent with evidence from other Prealpine sites
from the Younger Dryas. The technological
analysis of the lithic industry confirmed the
gradual simplification of the production system
as a feature typical of Epigravettian sites dated
to the second part of Lateglacial.
The existence of a network of complementary sites within a quite reduced territory is supported by the raw materials introduced in the
site and the spatio-temporal segmentation of
the reduction sequences. In the light of these
considerations, the site of Palù Echen can be
interpreted as a mid-altitude camp frequented
sporadically during the exploitation of the Prealps as part of a settlement system characterised by higher mobility patterns compared to
the previous period. The available data, also
from other sites, depicts an organisation articulated around a number of small camps frequented for short periods, rather than a few

to an estimated loss of between 75% and 96%
of all species.
The general aim of the project is to understand the composition and spatio-temporal relationships of the Late Permian and Early-Middle

The basin of Terlago, characterized by undulating morphologies and bordered to the
north-west by Paganella-Monte Gazza and to
the south by Monte Bondone, is a very interesting area for the research on first prehistoric
human occupation of the alpine environment.
In this context at an altitude of about 900
m, over Prada plain and just north of Dos di Camosciara, a rockshelter opens in a pebbly limestone wall. The excavation, carried out by Science Museum of Trento since 2009, has yielded
a very interesting stratigraphic sequence with
distinct anthropic occupations.
A test pit aimed at verifying the stratigraphy
that fills the cavity to a depth of 2.70 meters,
allowed to identify a sequence of layers with
distinct traces, from top to bottom, of historical
(Late Antiquity and Roman period), protohistoric
(Iron Age, Middle Bronze Age) and prehistoric
(Neolithic and Mesolithic) human occupation.
For the older layers are already available two
radiocarbon dates.
The inner deposit is full of bricks and daub
fragments associated with pottery shards and
charcoals that characterize the upper band of
the sequence near the rocky overhang. In gen-
eral, the anthropogenic component in the upper
living floors is given by some pottery shards,
sporadic faunal remains, charcoals and smelting slags. For these levels is being developed an
interdisciplinary research project aimed at a prosecution of the excavations in order to provide an
important contribution to the knowledge of the
settlement dynamics related to the smelting activities (archaeometallurgy) in the Bronze Age and
Late Antiquity of central-western Trentino.
Future research on the oldest layers of the
deposit will also increase the knowledge about
prehistoric frequentations of the region with direct economic and environmental implications.

The Prehistory Section of the Science Museum of Trento studies the Palaeolithic frequentations of the Folgaria - Lavarone and Vezzena
Plateau since 1999, obtaining interesting scientific results of national and international importance. These frequentations fit within a system
of human occupations articulated mainly on the
heads of Astico and Assa Valley, due primarily
to the presence of ancient lakes related to the
current wetlands and peat bogs. The focus on
the plateau and the traces left by the ancient
Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers of 10.000-14.000
years ago, have recently led to the identification
of a new interesting site at Malga Palù, in the municipality of Levico Terme (Trento) at an altitude
of 1,380 m asl. The first occasional findings date
back to 1997 and were located on the western
edge of the wetland under the Vezzena Pass in a
predominantly peat-bog deposit.
This site opens new research prospects that
include interesting issues related to the state of
preservation of sites and to the vegetational and
depositional history of ancient lakes. The carrying
out of two campaigns of archaeological excavation in 2012 and 2013, covering an area of about
30 square meters, have allowed us to detect the
presence of an extensive seasonal camp dated
to the Late Palaeolithic (Recent Epigravettian).
The site is partially preserved, rich in lithic indus-
try and flaking products (about 2,000 artifacts).
As in other similar circumstances, the interdisciplinary study, just started, includes the
acquisition of new and interesting data on the
dwelling organization and the function of the
site as well as the analysis of settlement strategies during Late Glacial in the Eastern Central
Alps. The first typo-technological observations
suggest the presence of an undisturbed living
floor; the main activities seem to be oriented
toward the first roughing and knapping of flint
blocks, given the substantial presence of cortical blanks, cores and tested blocks. At first
sight the raw material used by Epigravettian
hunter-gatherers of Malga Palù seems to belong mostly to local varieties (Maiolica, Scaglia
Variegata Alpina).

INTCLIM Project
Section of Geology
The INTCLIM project aims to provide a
number of well-characterised datasets from
the climatically sensitive, Alpine region of Trentino to address the need for further data for the
improvement of climate models. The project is
specifically targeting Interglacial periods as these
warm periods in Earth history provide a comparison with modern, pre-industrial times which can
be used to test climate models over long timescales. The Trentino region provides the perfect
location for the study because speleothem-hosting caves have been identified at a variety of altitudes within the pure carbonate bedrocks. Using this palaeo-temperature data, the idea of the
58
INTCLIM project is to back-calculate the oxygen
isotope signal of the speleothem-feeding waters.
This temperature effect during oxygen isotope
storage in calcite is the largest obstacle currently
hindering speleothem research and the elimination of which would allow the inclusion of the
dataset in water-isotope enabled General Circulation Models and permit a better understanding
of the climate system at the time of speleothem
formation. INTCLIM is funded by the European
Community and the Provincia Autonoma di
Trento in the frame of the 7th research framework
programme - Marie Curie Actions - COFUND project “Trentino”.

Section of Prehistory
In the last twenty years of prehistoric research in the Alps, Dalmeri rockshelter represented a key site for understanding the life
of Late Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers (Recent
Epigravettian). The good preservation of faunal
remains, stone tools and living floors has resulted in a partial but approximate reconstruction of palaeo-economy, dwelling organization
and site functionality.
The discovery of a large number of red
ochre-painted stones substantiated the view
that Epigravettian art
and symbolic behavior are more complex
than previously imagined. Another interesting
discovery made just outside of the rockshelter
involves three pits that were filled with different
materials. The structures (and substructures)
contained an abundant selection of cranial
parts and ibex horns with more than 8,000 remains, particular objects, polishers and stones
painted with ochre. We cannot exclude their
possible diversified use, including a function
related to the ritual sphere.
The first dwelling phase includes, in addition to the pits, a large structure of about 18
square meters (U.S. 65) formed by the intentional accumulation of limestones, linked to the
deposition of 267 ochre-painted stones and a
subcircular feature interpreted as a hut.
The hypothesis of a direct connection between these structures is supported by the
stratigraphic data, the spatial organization
and the C14 dates. The analysis of the earliest
phase of frequentation, which includes the three
pits, is in progress, as well as the interpretation
of their symbolic significance. In addition to the
archaeozoological study (Lab. Archeozoologia
Museo L.Pigorini-Roma), we consider which
and how many animals have been “ deposed
“, such as the portions and the age of death.
At the same time we proceed to the analysis of
the distribution of bone remains, so as to define
how many skulls of ibex were actually placed,
such as the original positions and the state of
integrity at the time of deposition.

Glaciers one time
Section of Greology
Glaciers one-time involves the citizenship in
the development of a popular scientific project,
which, among its objectives, aims to make the
society conscious of the glacial retreat in action
and to quantify the changes in the mountain
landscape. All are invited to take photographs
of the modern Italian glaciers with the exact
points of view of historical photographs, and
to make photographic comparisons. Glaciers
one-time is carried out in collaboration with in-
60
stitutions that carry out glaciological activities.
The institutional network so has the goal to cooperate together for the promotion of research
within the society and the understanding of the
landscape changes due to retreat of the glaciers. With the active participation of citizenship, it was possible to do a picture of glaciation to publicize the awareness of the state of
health of the glaciers and to disseminate the
importance of the cryosphere.
