Lecture series on Citizen Science at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna

In the winter semester of 2021, BOKU Vienna will offer a lecture series on the topic of Citizen Science. On November 10, 2021, at 2 p.m., Verena Mayer from HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein will present an interesting lecture on the PolliDiversity project – pollinator diversity in one's own environment.

The lecture is open to the public, so anyone interested can attend. Registration is via the "Österreich forscht" platform.

A brief summary of the content of the presentation:

Over the past 30 years, the number of insects, especially pollinators, has declined dramatically. The main reasons for this are habitat loss and the loss of food sources. Land sealing, golf course-like greens, and intensive, large-scale agriculture are among the contributing factors. At PolliDiversity, we aim to identify, in different regions of Austria, which pollinators, particularly bees and wild bees, visit four selected plant species with different flower shapes in landscapes with varying structures.
