Včeraj se je prvič sestal Strokovni svet za zaščito živali v novi sestavi.

Na seji so izvolili novo predsednico prof. dr. Alenko Dovč z Veterinarske fakultete ter razpravljali o predvidenih dejavnostih in vsebinskih smernicah za obdobje 2023-2026.

All of us at StepChange Project would like to thank the organisational team at European Citizen Science Association, BOKU University and NHM Wien for putting together such a great #citizenscience conference last week!

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay ! 🐾

Protecting #nature and #wildlife isn’t just a choice - it’s our responsibility! 🌳🦌🦔 Why? Because every creature plays a significant role in our ecosystem and deserves respect and safety. 🐢🐞🌍

🐦🦠 #Avianinfluenza #AI is mainly found in #birds , but recently, there was an increase in reported #infections in #mammals , ranging from no symptoms to mass mortality events and some #human cases.

Monitoring of species’ genetic diversity in Europe varies greatly and overlooks potential climate change impacts nature.com/articles/s4155…

A recent study in Nature Ecology & Evolution emphasizes the importance of #monitoring #genetic variation, including in marginal areas. This broad monitoring helps predict #climatechange effects and improves #conservation

💭Did you know? ❄️

In colder climates during winter, stoats can undergo an amazing transformation! They become almost entirely white, except for a striking black tip on their tail, which is called ‘ermine’. This dense, snowy fur helps them stay warm in the chilly weather. ❄️🖤

During the first day of the Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) all-hands meeting, we had a great overview of the project's achievements and challenges in its first years and the (many) opportunities for the future.

Looking forward to the next days of discussions at Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE)
