On the occasion of the World Biodiversity Day, NBFC presented its 1st annual report on biodiversity in Italy.
Download annual reportNational Forum on Biodiversity was held in Palermo and was the first major scientific event of the National Center for the Future of Biodiversity. In this meeting, over 600 researchers from all over Italy discussed sensitive issues such as redevelopment of degraded areas, nature conservation, the relationship between nature and well-being, and the development of effective tools to prevent biodiversity loss.
National Forum on Biodiversity was held in Palermo and was the first major scientific event of the National Center for the Future of Biodiversity. In this meeting, over 600 researchers from all over Italy discussed sensitive issues such as redevelopment of degraded areas, nature conservation, the relationship between nature and well-being, and the development of effective tools to prevent biodiversity loss.
To manage and develop such a complex collaboration network, the Center was designed following the Hub&Spoke model, which is divided into 6 thematic Spokes dedicated to the sea, land and wetlands, and cities. To these are added 2 cross spokes dedicated respectively to training, communication, knowledge sharing, and innovation and policies also through international connections. The core element of NBFC is the multidisciplinary scientific knowledge and expertise of researchers, the wide availability of information aggregated in the Biodiversity Digital Platform, and the close link with the territory (protected areas, businesses, institutions). A key element of the center is the link with local intervention structures and citizens (Citizen Science) through dedicated projects and specific knowledge tools. It is possible to collaborate with the center both through research and innovation calls dedicated to specific projects and through national and international protocols and collaboration agreements aimed at enhancing research and innovation and transforming them into value for biodiversity and the territory.

The National Biodiversity Future Center is one of the five national centers dedicated to frontier research involving institutions and businesses throughout Italy. To manage and develop such a complex collaborative network, the Center was designed following the Hub&Spoke model. The center is divided into 6 thematic spokes dedicated to the sea, land and wetlands, and cities. These are supported by transversal spokes dedicated to training, communication, knowledge sharing, and innovation with the aim of transforming research into value for society.

BANDO A CASCATA “Innovazione Didattica per la Biodiversità: bando per la creazione di materiali educativi avanzati nelle scuole secondarie”
CUP: C93C22002810006
Il Bando, a evidenza pubblica, è emanato dall'Università degli Studi di Padova – Dipartimento di Biologia, nell’ambito dei Bandi a Cascata dello Spoke 7 “Biodiversity and Society: Communication, education and social impact” del NBFC ed ha l’obiettivo di contribuire ad aumentare la conoscenza e la consapevolezza sull’importanza della biodiversità ed è finalizzato alla ricerca di metodi e strumenti educativi all’avanguardia per la didattica della biodiversità nelle scuole secondarie di primo e secondo livello.
Il bando si prefigge di finanziare un progetto a elevato livello di originalità e innovazione che, come output finale, abbia la produzione di materiale didattico nuovo e innovativo rivolto ai docenti e agli studenti di scuola secondaria di primo e secondo grado, al fine di promuovere la conservazione e la valorizzazione della biodiversità.
Possono beneficiare delle agevolazioni previste dal presente Bando gli Organismi di Ricerca e di diffusione della conoscenza scientifica, in forma singola.

SEE ALLPollinators play an important role in natural and man-made systems through interactions with many organisms, the most significant of which are those with the plants they pollinate. The observation and quantification of the interactions between plants and pollinators allow us to construct pollination networks, which are key tools to characterise the plants and pollinators communities of habitats. The “Semi-natural dry grasslands and scrublands facies on calcareous substrates” habitats, designated as 6210 according to the Natura 2000 and Habitat Directives, have been investigated for this study. Four different sites along the Apennine mountains, situated between 750 and 1450 meters a.s.l., were selected: Monte Prato Fiorito (province of Lucca, Tuscany), Monte Subasio (province of Perugia, Umbria), Parco Naturale del Gran Sasso (province of L’Aquila, in Abruzzo ), and Monte Calvo and Piana di Montenero in the Gargano Promontory (province of Foggia, in Apulia). The pollination networks and the Apoidea communities were assessed and described for each study site.
Overall, 438 interactions between 83 plant taxa and 166 pollinator morpho-species were observed within the four sites. The highest number of plant species on which at least a single interaction was observed was identified in Prato Fiorito site (37), followed by Subasio (30), Gran Sasso (24), and Gargano (19) sites. The dominant plant families were Apiaceae and Asteraceae in Prato Fiorito, Fabaceae in Subasio, Asteraceae in Gran Sasso, and Lamiaceae in Gargano. A similar trend occurred for the pollinator morpho-species, with the highest number observed in Prato Fiorito (68), followed by Subasio (50), Gran Sasso (39), and Gargano (24) sites. Apidae family was the most represented for the number of species in both Prato Fiorito and Subasio, with the similar highest abundance of three species: Bombus lapidarius, Apis mellifera, and B. terrestris. In Gran Sasso, a dominance of Halictidae morpho-species was observed, with the highest abundance of pollinators belonging to the Lasioglossum genus. In the Gargano site, equal numbers of Apidae, Andrenidae, and Halictidae morpho-species were observed, with Lasioglossum and Andrena genera as the most abundant. Given the protected status of the four study sites, conservation parameters were also assessed. The conservation indices that could be calculated for the Prato Fiorito and Subasio sites highlighted a high degree of specialisation of the networks of these areas along with a potential vulnerability to habitat-damaging phenomena, such as habitat fragmentation and isolation.
Given the trend of loss of diversity and abundance observed for most pollinator groups in Europe, the study of the pollination networks of habitats in protected areas represents an important tool for safeguarding the biodiversity of these environments.
