The majority of the native lepidoptera fauna is nocturnal. Many species are micromoths of unknown local distribution and / or deficient data on biology (e.g. flight time, habitat claims) which hinders the assessment of their extinction risk within Vorarlberg. Even in the “well-studied” valley floor still needs research. The reed areas in Koblach provide one of the largest contiguous low-moor bogs in the Rhine valley. However, these extensively cultivated areas are subject to an increasing demand for use (such as bicycle routes, intensification of agriculture, etc.). The present project aims at establishing a better knowledge about species diversity in these highly endangered habitats. DNA barcoding is used as an aid to identify difficult taxa.

Dear ABOL community We are pleased to announce that our first joint publication on the ABOL BioBlitzes has been published in Acta ZooBot (link). In this context, the DNA barcoding datasets from the BioBlitzes 2019 and 2020 were released in BOLD, the international DNA barcoding platform, and are now available to everyone (download: dx.doi.org/10.5883/DS-ABOLBB19). The […]
For the second time, the ABOL meeting was conducted as online conference because of to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and also for the second time it was held under the common title Days of Biodiversity following the Austrian Biodiversity Forum. A number of interesting topics had already been presented and discussed in the workshops of […]
Dear ABOL Community the joint registration page for the ABOL meeting and the Biodiversity Forum is now online. Please register on the following page: -> Days of Biodiversity – Program & Registration Abstracts for talks (15 min. + 5 min. discussion) and flash talks (5 min. + 3 min. discussion) can still be submitted for […]
