It is a plesure to welcome a new associated project! Manfred Hartbauer, Doris Reineke and Liza Nemes investigate collective defence mechanisms in non-myrmecophilous aphid species by means of various playback experiments and analysis of alarm pheromones. Additionally. the evolution of collective physical defence will be reconstructed in a phylogenetic approach encompassing different species of the subfamily of Aphidinae. […]
Liebe ABOL-Gemeinschaft!
Wir freuen uns, dass Sie bei der diesjährigen ABOL-Tagung wieder so zahlreich teilgenommen haben.
The planned main project of ABOL intends to record the entire Austrian biodiversity. Such an ambitious objective can only be achieved by a cooperating network of experts/ volunteers/ working groups/ and institutions. The new “Join-us-page” provides information on our growing network along with contact possibilities. All persons able and willing to participate are cordially invited […]
A selection of scientific and popular publications on the topic of DNA barcoding in general and ABOL in particular can be accessed via the link https://www.zotero.org/groups/abol_literatur. The main page of the Zotero literature-database displays recent additions. By activating the link „Group Library“ the structure of the database (hierarchic folders) will be opened with the entire […]
We are glad to present the final agenda for this years´ ABOL meeting! Many thanks to all participants which agreed to give a talk at the meeting. We look forward to a well attended and inspiring meeting as well as numerous poster presentations. Please register as soon as possible per e-mail to abol.msonnleitner@gmail.com. Link to […]
Dear ABOL community, the preliminary agenda for this year´s ABOL meeting which will be jointly organized with ZooBot (Zoologisch-Botanischen Gesellschaft in Österreich) and NOBIS Austria (Network of Biological Systematics Austria) is now available and can be downloaded here. Minor changes in schedule and talks still can occur. We will provide the final version as soon as […]
Dear barcoding-community, we would like to point out three papers already published in 2015 concerning Barcoding of Austrian Lepidopterae: Early in the year P. Huemer and P.D.N Hebert presented a Barcode library containing 1489 species of butterflies from Vorarlberg. 36 species were new to the province of Vorarlberg, while two species were newly recorded for […]
During samplings in 2014, scientists of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences of Vienna caught several specimens of a gudgeon-like fish in the Mur River, which differentiated from sympatric Gobio obtusirostris through their large fins, elongated body shape and habitat use. Morphological studies showed that these specimens did not belong to any of the […]
The project operated by Harald Letsch and Sven Winter aims at unravelling phylogenetic relationships within this morphologically difficult group in addition to DNA-Barcodes. Despite a recent restructuring of the genus Apion based on feeding plants and morphology still some taxonomic uncertainties remain. Preliminary Barcoding data suggest the existence of cryptic species in some groups.
M. SonnleitnerGEO Day of Biodiversity in South Carinthia17. July, 2024 - 15:04On the first weekend in July, the ABOL-BioBlitz was a guest at the GEO Day of Biodiversity in the Geopark Karawanken, this year for the first time in southern Carinthia. After the welcome and introductory words in Bleiburg, the Globasnitzbachtal was investigated in the afternoon and evening of the first day. There was something for […]
N. Fial10 years ÖEG insect camp17. July, 2024 - 11:09Parallel to the Day of Biodiversity in the Biosphere Reserve Wienerwald, ABOL was represented for the third time at the ÖEG insect camp from June 6th to 9th. Like ABOL, the insect camp also celebrated its 10th anniversary this year, and this year it took place in the Karwendel Nature Reserve in Tyrol. On this […]
M. SonnleitnerThe first ABOL BioBlitzes 202416. July, 2024 - 16:32Thanks to the Biodiversity Fund projects ABOL-RefDat and GeMonA+, our ABOL team at the Natural History Museum Vienna grew at the beginning of 2024 and the first BioBlitzes were a good opportunity to support data collection and networking in the biodiversity community. This year’s Day of Biodiversity of the Biosphere Reserve Wienerwald took place in […]
