The research activities at the Museo delle Scienze: Report 2014-2015
MUSE - Museo delle Scienze/Science Museum 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 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. MUSE is the first museum in Italy
that harmoniously blends nature, science and
technology.
The building’s outline, designed by the worldfamous architect Renzo Piano, 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.
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 it is at the same time an
4
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 prehistory 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.
MUSE manages, in addition to the main museum in Trento, a whole network of centres for
scientific dissemination, established during the
Preface
last 70 years. In Trentino there are six Satellite
Branches (Alpine Botanical Garden, Astronomical observatory "Terrazza delle stelle", Geological 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 Bezzecca Historical Museum, Visitor Centre "Monsignor Ferrari"). In Tanzania, MUSE manages the
Udzungwa Ecological Monitoring Centre, a field
station annexed to a national park of outstanding biodiversity importance.
The research area
MUSE is organized in four Areas managed by
the General Directorate and the Administrative Directorate: Cultural mediation, naturalistic
Research, Museum Territorial branches, General 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 employees, 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, Vertebrate Zoology, Tropical Biodiversity, Geology,
Prehistory, 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 mo-

nitoring 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 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 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 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 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.
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. Laboratories are devoted to different disciplines (from
hydrobiology to botany, entomology, palaeontology, 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 promoted and participated to several research
projects in collaboration with local research
6
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 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 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 relevance 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 communicators, engaged in the dissemination of
research results to citizens and stakeholders.
Thus, this report provides also outreach activities performed in collaboration with the scientific communicators.
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 employees. A special mention
goes to the Provincia Autonoma di Trento (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 programmes
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, education and training, based on the interconnection between nature science and society.
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
areas of the world has begun, especially in biodiversity-rich mountain forests of eastern Africa.
12
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.
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 the 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 Research Unit in biodiversity documentation through the aggregation of
14
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 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.

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 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 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 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 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.
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.
16
--
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 Autonomous Province of Trento, contributing with environmental impact
assessments and the provision of wildlife and protected area management plans.

The scientific collections
The natural history and archaeological collections of the Museo delle Scienze (about 300 collections 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 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 59,2% of the preserved heritage is fully catalogued 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 described 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
Since 1998 the museum 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 and the Matilda’s
horned viper Atheris matildae, discovered by
MUSE researchers and described respectively
in 2008 and 2011.
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.
Botany
Botany collections are made up by the herbarium 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 local 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 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.
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
27
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,
28
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.

MUSE NASSTEC project
Section of Botany
Alpine and Atlantic grasslands habitats are
centres of biodiversity with high evolutionary importance for flora and fauna, which have been
identified as a conservation and restoration priority. European grasslands often exist within anthropogenic landscapes, resulting from a positive interaction between natural processes and
traditional human activities. However, regular
land use over the past 100 years and the urban sprawl have led to irreversible degradation
of biodiverse grasslands such as dry meadows
and alpine meadows. Seed legislation, regulations and policies exist for agricultural and horticultural purposes in Europe, but not for native
grassland species used in restoration practices.
Restoration efforts are often made with nonnative plant species with the absence of seed
quality protocols, policies and adequate training for restoration practitioners. Networking is
strategic to attain significant impact and existing associations are present in the UK (Flora
locale), Germany (VWW), and a new EU initiative called NASSTEC funded under FP7 MCA
ITN. NASSTEC aims to promote a better understanding of native seed science and the use
of native seeds for restoration connecting academia to industry, and informing policy. Communication 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
30
Europe based on the findings of NASSTEC and
meets the grower’s needs.
One project will use a combination of global 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 diversity 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 maximize 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 demonstrate habitat based patterns and species
prioritization to maximise the provision of ecosystem 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 quality protocols for genetic conservation and plant
establishment, and (iii) certification recommendations. Emphasis will be placed on the importance and complexity of seed quality using
a bottom-up approach addressed by surveying seed users and producers in Europe, the
United States, and Australia with the main aim
to design a certification recommendation for
Europe.

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 works (roadwork, quarries, ski slopes) impacting on grassland habitats.

Experimental evidences of cold hardiness and thermotolerance
in cold stenothermal chironomids overwintering in an Alpine
stream
Section of Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology
The threats posed by climate change make
it important to expand knowledge concerning 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 hardiness strategy adopted by III-IV-instar larvae
of two non-biting midges species (Pseudodiamesa branickii and Diamesa cinerella) (Diptera:
Chironomidae). In P. branickii, SCPs and LLTs
were estimated in overwintering young (I-II instar) 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 glucose and sucrose as main cryoprotectants,
SCPs (= -6.37°C (IV instar) to -7.1 °C (I-II instar) 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 differences due to the Cumulative Proportion of Individual 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 thermotolerant (ULT50 = 31.7 ± 0.4, 32.5 ± 0.3, respectively). However, ontogenetic differences in
acute tolerance were observed as in basal metabolism young larvae exhibit a higher oxygen
consumption rate at any temperature tested
and are overall less resistant to oxygen depletion 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 species, even in relation to its cold stenothermy.

Benthic and hyporheic fauna from alpine streams of different
origin – evidences of vertical and transversal connectivity
Biodiversity
and Ecology
Although many of the processes involved
in the relationship between hyporheic and benthic zone have been elucidated in recent years,
the vertical and temporal structure of the invertebrate 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 similarity was detected between the two stream types
in both the structure and function of the hyporheos, 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 obtained, 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 exploiting 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 permanently, 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 retreating glaciers or stream reaches with limited
degree of glacial influence fed by a disappearing glacier.

Molecular tools into freshwater ecology: applications
in non-model organisms under environmental stress conditions
Over the past few decades, the integration
of molecular and ecological approaches for unravelling both the genetic basis and the ecological importance of ecosystems has encountered
increasing interest. A pressing challenge for the
ecological and evolutionary community is to understand 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 process of protein synthesis is compromised. The
determination of protein concentrations in tissues of non-model organisms (thus with limited
genomic information) is challenging due to the
absence of specific antibodies. Moreover, estimating protein levels quantifying transcriptional
responses may be misleading, because translational control mechanisms uncouple protein
and mRNAs abundances. Translational control
is increasingly recognized as a hub where regulation of gene expression converges to shape
proteomes, but it is almost completely overlooked in molecular ecology studies. An interesting approach to study translation and its control mechanisms is the analysis of variations of
gene-specific translational efficiencies by quantifying mRNAs associated to ribosomes. We
carried out several studies to propose a robust
and streamlined pipeline for purifying ribosomeassociated mRNAs and calculating global and
gene-specific translation efficiencies from nonmodel insect’s species. As experimental organism we employed the dipteran Pseudodiamesa
branickii (Nowicki) (Chironomidae). P. branickii is
a good bioindicator of climate change, as cold
stenothermal species colonizing aquatic habitats (e.g. high mountain springs and streams)
threatened by global warming.
This method might found applications in
molecular ecology to study responses to environmental 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 Alps
Climate change is affecting species distribution, composition of biological communities,
and species traits. Despite the growing body
of knowledge on the reaction of species to
climate change, the potentially delayed response of species is still severely understudied. In this paper we modelled the time needed by ground-living invertebrates to effectively
react to habitat modification induced by climate change in relation to dispersal abilities.
We analyzed the occurrence pattern of alpine
ground beetles (carabids) along areas recently freed by retreating glaciers in the centraleastern Italian Alps, to test how the synergic
effects of time since deglaciation and environmental 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 ecologically specialized) occur within those sites. “The
overall pattern suggests that within a site, suitable land cover is established prior to colonization, 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 potentially could be tied also to dispersal abilities. 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 following climate change.

Physical and biological features of an active rock glacier
of the Italian Alps
Rock glaciers are a periglacial landform characterized 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 influence 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 assemblages. Compared with scree slope and grassland, 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 hypothesis that rock glaciers provide specific ecological
conditions creating potential refugia for cold-demanding species during warm climatic periods.

Structure-dynamic relationship of plant-insect networks along
a primary succession gradient on a glacier foreland
Biodiversity
and Ecology
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 evaluate their relative importance in the structure
of plant–insect interaction networks with increasing time since deglaciation along the primary succession of a debris-covered glacier
foreland. We sampled anthophilous insects
visiting the flowers of two models plant species, Leucanthemopsis alpina and Saxifraga
bryoides. Insects were identified and trophic
roles were attributed to each taxon. Pollinators dominated pioneer communities on the
debris-covered glacier and in recently deglaciated 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 increased with time since deglaciation. Along
the same gradient link density showed an
increasing trend while network centralization 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 particular, during the succession process, more
links are formed and plant–anthophilous insect 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 primary succession provides a useful framework
to investigate the relationship between community structure and ecosystem stability.

International Congress and Workshop on benthic-algae-based
environmental assessments
Section of Limnology and Phycology
Two important scientific events took place at
the Museo delle Scienze – MUSE in Trento midJune of 2015 (Organizer & Chair: M. Cantonati):
The International Congress 9th Use of Algae for
Monitoring RIvers and comparable habitats (UAMRIch) (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 opportunities to review and discuss benthic-algae-based
assessment approaches in the different countries, 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 Algae 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-
38
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 following Taxonomic Session Chairs: Diatoms (M.
Cantonati, B. Van de Vijver), Cyanobacteria (B.A.
Whitton & E. Rott), Red Algae (M. Vis), Green algae & 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 Environment (environmental sciences) and Fottea
(phycology).

Special series of papers on lake benthic algae published
in Freshwater Science
Biodiversity
and Ecology
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 Professor 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, Professor at Slippery Rock University, Pennsylvania;
Martyn Kelly of Bowburn Consultancy and Adjunct Professor at the University of New Castle
(England).
Even the cover of the issue (see image below) 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 societies active in the fields of limnology and phycology (SFS + ASLO + PSA + SWS) (Portland,
Oregon, USA, May 18-23.2014). At this conference 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, Canada; 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 series on benthic algae have been published by
researchers from Trentino (several MUSE researchers, and Prof. Graziano Guella, University
of Trento, Physics Dept., Laboratory of Bioorganic Chemistry) (Cantonati, MUSE, was first
author of four of the five papers). The AdamelloBrenta 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 Province 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 cyanobacterium 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.

New species of coccoid cyanoprokaryote discovered
in Lake Tovel (Brenta Dolomites)
The deep littoral zone of lakes hosts a
unique but understudied subset of lake periphyton. We investigated epilithic (= rock
dwelling) cyanobacteria (also known as cyanoprokaryotes or blue-green algae) in a carbonate meromictic lake (Lake Tovel, southeastern
Alps) to obtain information on 2 poorly known,
deep-dwelling coccoid species (one new to science) and to analyze their distribution in light of
the current understanding of the depth distribution 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 limitation, 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 Geitleribactron new to science (Geitleribactron purpureum 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, transmission 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 distribution 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, amplify, 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 description were unsuccessful, but more recent
ones yielded the first published sequence for
the genus Geitleribactron, allowing an interesting discussion on the evolution and taxonomic
placement of this genus and of phylogenetically-related taxa (Mareš & Cantonati 2016).

Valagola_SEFIRA Project: Reconstruction of the development
of the mountain Lake Valagola and prediction of senescing
and filling rates
Biodiversity
and Ecology
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 Nature 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 paleolimnology, 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 submerged macrophytes recovered from Lake Valagola are all indicators of environments with good
ecological integrity. Epiphytic diatoms were studied (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 measurements 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 Valgola 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 assemblages (M. Letáková & E. Stocchetti) in the sediment
cores showed that more typical “lake-environment conditions” were established only recently,
with the construction of an artificial concrete rim
in the early 1970s. Planktic diatoms, typical of
the deeper, open-water parts of lakes, show up
in considerable proportions in the subfossil assemblages only after this date, suggested that
the tarn might have been characterized by a long
phase with fluvial-lacustrine regime before.
Finally the lake was confirmed to be mesooligotrophic (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 Mountains
Section of Tropical Biodiversity
Also called the “Galapagos of Africa”, the
Eastern Arc Mountains of Kenya and Tanzania have long been known as an outstanding
region for biological diversity and endemism.
Yet, knowledge on species distribution and endemism patterns remained scant up to a decade 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 mammals during 2005 - 2009, targeting mountain
blocks that had been poorly surveyed. We
combined new and old data to produce a database 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 vertebrate richness across mountain blocks.
New surveys raised the number of endemic and regional endemic vertebrates by 24%
(from 170 to 211 species), including 27 new
species of which 23 are amphibians and reptiles. Vertebrate richness was best explained
by forest area, but rainfall was also found important, especially for amphibians and reptiles. 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 underestimated, and strategic surveys are important even in well-recognized hotspots. The exceptional 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 species
Human activities, in its many forms - deforestation, land use, agricultural and industrial 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), extremely critical in host health and fitness by,
for example, being responsible for host digestive efficiency (e.g., also degrading toxic substances), stimulating host immune system and
protecting it from pathogenic invasion.
Classified as ‘endangered’ by the IUCN,
the Udzungwa red colobus (Procolobus gordonorum) is among the most threatened primate species in Africa and in constant decline.
These colobus are arboreal forest dwellers,
mainly folivorous and highly selective feeders. Because they prefer fresh young shoots
and leaves, they are highly dependent on oldgrowth forests, thus particularly sensitive to
habitat perturbation. Thus, they provide a critical model to understanding whether anthro-
pogenic disturbance affects their gut microbiota 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 composition showed a marked diversification across
habitats, with gut microbiota α-diversity significantly higher in the undisturbed forest. Functional 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, pinpointing the importance of preserve pristine
forests in order to conserve healthy endangered populations.

Habitat fragmentation associated to reduction of gut microbiota
diversity in tropical monkey
A comprehensive understanding of how human disturbance affects tropical forest ecosystems is critical for the mitigation of future losses in
global biodiversity. While many genetic studies of
forest fragmentation have been already conducted to provide insight concerning forest biodiversity loss, relatively few have incorporated landscape data to explicitly test the effects of human
disturbance on genetic differentiation among
populations. In this study, we use a newly developed landscape genetic approach that relies on
a genetic algorithm to simultaneously optimize
resistance surfaces to investigate the effects of
human disturbance in the Udzungwa Mountains 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-
44
nificant population structure among Udzungwa
red colobus inhabiting different forest blocks, and
Bayesian cluster analyses identified hierarchical
structure. Our new method for creating composite 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 conservation 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 diversity
Biodiversity
and Ecology
Past climatic and tectonic events are believed to have strongly influenced species diversity in the Eastern Afromontane Biodiversity
Hotspot. In the paper we have investigated
the phylogenetic relationships and historical biogeography of the East African genus
of vipers Atheris, and explored temporal and
spatial relationships between Atheris species
across Africa, and the impact of palaeoclimatic 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 aridification events within East Africa over the last 15
million years. Our results are consistent with a
scenario of a delayed direct west-east colonisation 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 confirmed the monophyly of Atheris as currently
defined, and reveal four major East African
clades, three of which occur in discrete mountain ranges. Possible cryptic taxa are identified
in the Atheris rungweensis and A. ceratophora
clades, further genetic and morphological investigation are needed in order to assess their
taxonomic placement.

Hierarchical modelling of population growth rate from individual
capture–recapture data
Section of Vertebrate Zoology
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 processes. Two parametrizations for the temporal
symmetry likelihood are presented and implemented into a general purpose software in
BUGS language.
We first consider a set of simulated scenarios to evaluate performance of a Bayesian
variable selection approach to test the temporal linear trend on survival and seniority probability, population growth rate and detectability.
We then provide an example application on individual detection information of three species
of burrowing nesting seabirds, whose populations cannot be directly counted. For each
species, we assess the strength of evidence
for temporal random variation and the temporal linear trend on survival probability, population 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
Biodiversity
and Ecology
Following the advent of MCMC engines
Bayesian hierarchical models are becoming
increasingly common for modelling ecological 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 Bayesian model and variable selection into a general purpose software in BUGS language.
We explain two well-known procedures, the
product space method and the Gibbs variable selection, clarifying theoretical aspects
and practical guidelines through applied examples on the comparison of non-nested
models and on the selection of variables
in a generalized linear model problem. Despite the relatively wide range of available
techniques and the difficulties related to the
maximization of sampling efficiency, for their
conceptual simplicity and ease of implementation the proposed methods represent
useful tools for ecologists and conservation
biologists that want to close the loop of a
Bayesian analysis.

Testing hypotheses on distribution shifts and changes
in phenology of imperfectly detectable species
With ongoing climate change, many species are expected to shift their spatial and
temporal distributions. To document changes
in species distribution and phenology, detection/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 distribution, 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 investigation of species phenology and spatial distribution 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 departure probabilities.
Given the extent of detection/non-detection
data that are available, we believe that this
modelling approach will prove very useful to further understand and predict species responses
to climate change.

Comparison of methods for stable isotope ratio
(δ13C, δ15N, δ2H, δ18O) measurements of feathers
Biodiversity
and Ecology
Natural variations in the stable isotope
ratios of bioelements in bird feathers are being increasingly used by animal ecologists to
investigate different aspects of bird life. However, 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 sulphur in keratin.
With respect to determination of the isotope
ratios of C, N, O and H, in this work, we compare 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 differences 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 register changes in diet, area and climate. However, 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 normalize 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 reduce the drift of GC column performance
due to the presence of nitrogen and the accumulation of sulphur.

The importance of residual habitats and crop management
for the conservation of birds breeding in intensive orchards
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 orchard features on the true abundance (estimated 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 abundance of common species. The conservation
of the remaining patches of woodland, shrubland, 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

is funded by the Research Department of the
Autonomous Province of Bolzano. Its working 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 Permian-Triassic (P-T) extinction event occurred
251.4 ±0.3 million years ago and is considered
the most severe extinction event of the Phanerozoic, with a loss of at least 50% of families
both within the terrestrial and the marine ecosystems, corresponding 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 re-
lationships of the Late Permian and Early-Middle 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 understand if the Permian-Triassic ecological crisis
documented in the Southern Alps mirrors the
global pattern.

Younger Dryas and Evolution of human Societies in the Alpine
region
Section of Prehistory
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 project 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 Folgaria (TN, 1.260 m asl), Predaia (TN, 1.430 m
asl) and Cansiglio Plateau (PN, 995 m asl), confirm the continuity of seasonal frequentation of
the mid-altitude mountain and provide new elements for evaluating Younger Dryas settlement
strategies. Distinctive features compared to the
interstadial Late Glacial are provided by considering 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 segmentation of the reduction sequences also suggest
a mobility no longer based on a few sites located in strategic positions and periodically reoccupied (as in the Alleröd period), but rather on
numerous camps frequented for short periods
as expression of a higher mobility pattern. No
52
information about hunting strategies and prey
choices are available from these sites. New directions 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, investigated through a first survey in 2015, has yielded 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.

Section of Prehistory
The Prehistory section carries out studies 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 Mesolithic hunters to the landscape transformations of the Alpine region during the Holocene. The archaeological evidence of Pozza
Lavino (Ledro valley, Mount Tremalzo) attests a Mesolithic occupation in the western
Trentino region that was hitherto almost undocumented. 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 valley. Another research project was aimed at
ascertain aspects of continuity and discontinuity 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 persistence of some characters derived from the
more ancient pragmatic Sauveterrian tradition has also been highlighted.

LIFE WOLFALPS
Wolf 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 alpine 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 project, because it is designed to address all the
specific actions of communication, from information given to the shepherds and hunters,
educational workshops, training for teachers,
and much more. One of the most interest-
54
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 exhibition “Tempo di lupi” realization. This exhibition
is dedicated to wolves for the general public
and aims to give correct, scientific and objective information about wolves. The exhibition is
travelling across the Alps, hosted by the various 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 permanent form in Val Grande National Park (VCO).
Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) as suitable tools
to analyze women’s and men’s wishes, fears and contradictions
The project “Towards a new ‘family sayings’: opportunities, responsibilities and rights
in Assisted Reproduction Technologies” was
funded by the Autonomous Province of Trento
and carried out in 2015. With a multidisciplinary approach, the project was coordinated by
MUSE (Lucia Martinelli) and involved the Assisted Reproductive Center of Trento Autonomous Province Public Health Service; the Centre for Religious Studies of B. Kessler Foundation; the Bio-low group of Trento University.
Assisted Reproduction Technologies (ARTs)
were investigated as suitable tools for analyzing 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 innovations as promoter of new opportunities or
new facade of enduring contradictions. ‘Timing’ 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 fertility decline and motherhood (Martinelli et al.,
2015). In distorted information, social freezing to postpone parenthood is proposed as a
suitable alternative to conventional reproduction. 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 inclusive society, for instance, should find structural
solutions for supporting women to conciliate
motherhood with social/professional lives, instead of ‘medicalizing’ a social problem.

Experimenting new public engagement practices in synthetic
biology at MUSE
As part of the 7th FP UE project SYNENERGENE
(http://www.synenergene.eu/),
aimed at developing responsible research and
innovation (RRI) practices in synthetic biology
(synbio), we experimented a fresh public engagement 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 controversial technology. Three videos are presented,
respectively showing the perspectives of the
industry producing synbio vanillin, of an academic scientist developing synbio research,
and of NGOs opposing synbio vanillin. Moreover, participants are stimulated to express their
56
willingness to invest public support in synthetic
biology research and eventually to choose an
application among health, agriculture and environment. Interesting information about laycitizens‘ knowledge and opinion on synbio
are collected with an ad hoc questionnaire
provided to participants to collect their evaluation 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 taking 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 innovations can come together to share information and build up scientific knowledge.
