The period described in this report has seen the opening on 27th July 2013 of our new museum, MUSE - Museo delle Scienze (previously Museo Tridentino di Scienze Naturali), the first museum in Italy that harmoniously blends nature, science and technology. Opening the new museum comple- ted a transition process that lasted almost 10 years and that involved all the staff, with the research area taking a leading role in defining the scientific contents of the new museum.

The new museum manages, in addition to the main museum in Trento, a whole network of centres for scientific dissemination, established during the last 70 years. In Tren- tino these are: Botanical Alpine Garden on Viotte di Monte Bondone, Museum on the Bronze Age at the Lago di Ledro, Arco Arboretum, Glaciology Museum “J. Payer”, Aeronau- tic Museum “G. Caproni” in Trento, Bosco Caproni at Arco, Lymnological Field Station at the Lago di Tovel and the Geo- logy Museum of Dolomites in Predazzo. In Tanzania, MUSE manages the Udzungwa Ecological Monitoring Centre, a field station annexed to a national park of outstanding biodiversity importance.

The main museum in Trento is organized in four Areas managed by the general Directorate and the Administrative Direc- torate: Cultural mediation, Naturalistic Research, Museum Territorial branches, Services. The research area includes seven research sections: Botany, Limnology and Algology, Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology, Vertebrate Zoology, Tropical Biodiversity, Geology, Prehistory. They carry out the traditional natural science disciplinary research activities, both basic and applied, in the field of the environment, however they are commonly dedicated to the issue of biodiversity and ecology of mountain ecosystems. Our research in this area concerns the documentation and monitoring of species and communities that are sensitive to environmental and climate change as key components of biodiversity in the mountains (alpine, tropical and sub-tropical).

In the realm of Earth and Landscape Sciences, the museum explores the geology, morphology, and hydrology of the Al- pine region in order to document and reconstruct their its evolution; it analyses the aspects related to the evolution of living organisms (vertebrate and invertebrate fossils) over geological time and studies the relationship between man and environment in an alpine setting during the period between the Late Glacial and ancient Holocene. In addition to the well-established educational activities inherent in its institutional tasks, MUSE has an important role in the communication and dissemination of both scientific and environmental culture, in order to foster the cultural, social and economic development of well-rooted local communities and the re- emergence of identity processes in the environmental field.

4 Preface

The MUSE has grown and evolved over time, and specifically in the last 2 years 18 new people were employed in the permanent staff. At present (December 2013), it comprises about 90 employees, of which 24 in the research staff, in addition to more than 150 collaborators with different non- permanent contract types.

Our researchers are supported by the a team of cultural mediators scientific communicators, engaged in the dissemination of research results to citizens and stakeholders, in planning and processing related to refunds related to higher education and cultural mediation.

In the biennium 2012-2013 the MUSE promoted and participated to several research projects in collaboration with local research institutes especially with the Edmund Mach Foundation (FEM) in response to the Trento Province’s re- quest to enhance cooperation on common research topics. A strategically-important Memorandum of Understanding was indeed signed with FEM to boost mutual collaboration and the establishment of a platform of excellence on biodiversity research. The national and international collaborations with other museums and research institutes has also increased, with the boosting of large-scale research programmes in Europe and Africa in the fields of biodiversity assessment, sustainable development, environmental education.

The report provides quantitative indicators of such research activities, with a focus on the main results published in scientific journals. The care of MUSE’s collections that originate from the research has contributed to increase the relevance of such results (at present about 5 millions of specimens/ items are hosted in the museum). Furthermore, part of the about 5.000 m2 surface of gallery devotes exhibits to the field of nature and biodiversity with special regards to the research activities of the MUSE and other local institutes, providing the diffusion of scientific data to the public in form of easily ac- cessible contents. The Open Labs are working laboratories designed to profile MUSE researchers, master and PhD students and to display the relevance of their work to the public.

In conclusion, I am grateful to all the personnel who contributed with constant care, dedication, enthusiasm and professionalism to the performance of the MUSE, included the administrative employers. A special mention goes to the Autonomous Province of Trento for its financial support to our research programmes and to all the sponsors who supported our activities in the last two years.

1 The research activities at the Museo delle Scienze: Report 2012-2013

MUSE - Museo delle Scienze is a new building designed by the world-famous architect Renzo Piano. The building’s outline recalls the profile of the surrounding mountains, with a finely balan- ced contrast between empty and full spaces that adds charm and prestige to the entire exhibition venue. Built on eco-compatible criteria, MUSE is a model that sets the standard for a green economy and for energy saving.

MUSE combines characteristics from both traditional natural science museums and modern science centres in a very innovative way. This brand-new layout is enriched by a strong social characteristic that underpins its vocation as a meeting place providing dialogue with visitors. To enhance local background and knowledge, acting as a social venue where people can discuss issues of global importance is the cultural objective of MUSE.

8 The MUSE

MUSE is a big open space where scientific and technological knowledge are the means used to study the relationship between man and the environment, and at the same time to provide updated information on the available choices for sustainable development. Multi-media exhibits, interactive games, hands-on experiments and the practical mixing of culture with DIY are the informal educational tools with which visitors can join the scientific debate about important local and global issues. Specimens and objects exhibited outside glass boxes (“objects at hand”) represent one of the innovative museology designs chosen to solicit visitors’ curiosity and empathic feelings.

The ultimate aim of the new museum is to be a centre of cultural interpretation at the service of society, dedicated to nature and to the promotion of sustainability, science and innovation. MUSE addresses local population by inspiring citizens but is at the same time an extraordinary venue for cultural tourism from all over the world. The forecast scenarios and the development programmes promoted by the European Union within the framework of the Europe 2020 programme have identified three main axes, i.e. economy, environment and society, along which to build the idea of the future of our continent. MUSE is aligned with these three pillars, as it has elected as primary feature of its philosophy the dialectic and constructive relationship between development and environmental sustainability in connection with the contemporary society.

To learn how our environment has changed since the beginning of history to our present times means to understand a journey of over 200,000 years, which involves the joint evolution of hu- manity’s technological skills and its relationship with nature and the landscape. This is one of the strongest and most innovative conceptual focuses of MUSE. In this respect the exhibition floor dedicated to pre-history with its succession of themes and experiences that are totally new to the international museum scene, presents a refreshingly simple and direct viewpoint. Reflection, experimentation, a cue for the visitor to return and acquire new educational experience and informal knowledge: MUSE targets a very wide range of visitors by choosing not to focus on a specific age group. MUSE supports tourism by attracting visitors who wish to discover the thousands of relations between the MUSE’s themes and the Alpine territory, and in particular curious and attentive families, that are a must in the museum’s tradition, and school groups that find an extraordinary good educational tool in the many exhibitions and workshops offered.

All this will help understand the paths to be followed in the fields of energy and of respect and conscious use of natural resources, widening the view of individuals to encompass what new technology and biotechnology we could develop in the future, so as to take steps towards a harmonious symbiosis between mankind and the environment. This is where the investment in future generations begins.

2 The research programmes The research activities at the Museo delle Scienze: Report 2012-2013

MUSE - Museo delle Scienze traces back its origin in the mid XIX century, while only in 1964 it was established with the current asset. Throughout this period it progressively evolved into a modern museum, dedicated to research, visitor interpretation and education. Research at MUSE is articulated around two mainstream areas: Biodiversity and Ecology, Earth Sciences and Landscape.

Environmental research focuses mainly on the Alpine region, and aims at attaining both local and global relevance, trying to be effective, integrated and useful to the local community and research area but also strategically placed at European level in key research networks, valuing international research cooperation and participation to consortia and competitive projects, delivering research products relevant at global level. Since 2008 however, research on mountain ecosystems of other parts of the world has begun, especially in biodiversity-rich mountain forests of eastern Africa.

Research on the public communication of science continuously develops new means to raise public awareness on the alpine environment, promoting the sustainable use of its resources, necessary to grant an environmentally friendly development of the local society, highlighting local assets and natural heritage, promoting public understanding of science. The role of the new science museum MUSE is to investigate and explain nature using scientific tools, addressing the challenges posed by the modern times and promoting the values of science, innovation and sustainable development.

Since 2012 a new focus on documenting and valuing the landscape with all its biotic and abiotic dimensions, and with emphasis on biodiversity research and conservation is being framed, with the contribution of all the seven research sections. Such unified research theme aims to bring up their strategic value in the field of conservation planning from the landscape level down to ecosystems, communities and species level. This is because environmental research is increasingly called to inform the public, including the administrators, on scientifically-sound ways to manage the environment. MUSE has an exceptional potential towards this goal, as it is one of the few institutions in Trento Province that can use its vast documentation knowledge on nature to address key issues of landscape and biodiversity planning and management.

12 The research programmes

13 The research activities at the Museo delle Scienze: Report 2012-2013

Macroarea Biodiversity and Ecology

The MUSE’s studies on biodiversity involve the integration between ecological, physiological and molecular data of plants (algae and higher plants) and animals (arthropods and vertebrates), both at individual, population and community level, with the main aims of:

1. Assessing the ecological factors influencing the biogeographic and evolutionary patterns of species distribution and model communities; 2. Defining the population dynamics and evolutionary processes of plant and animal species in mountainous areas; 3. Analysing the data collected in order to predict how model organisms and communities will respond to climate change and environmental issues; 4. Finalizing the realization of tools aimed to the understanding of the impact of human activities on landscapes and to estimate the resilience of natural systems to the anthropization processes; 5. Identifying the factors that determine and affect biodiversity patterns both at local and global levels, and produce maps of potential biodiversity; 6. Providing stakeholders with new tools and methods for the management and conservation of habitats and species; 7. Performing actions aimed to the mitigation of adverse environmental impacts and to the re-naturalization of habitats; 8. Developing cultural and scientific tools in order to promote and disseminate the concept of a knowledge-based sustainable development.

A critical assumption of our interdisciplinary approach is the long-standing experience of the museum biological sections in biodiversity documentation through the aggregation of data in specific databases, production of scientific publications and scientific and technical reports (eg. Red Lists, Check Lists, Action Plans, management and conservation plans). Furthermore the combination of these skills and their integration in the study of ecosystems, contributes to the study of landscape outlined below. This field of research pertains to the macro-area “Earth and Landscape Sciences”.

14 The research programmes

Macroarea Earth Sciences and Lanscape

Economic development and quality of life (understood as a form of social development), are closely related to the quality of the environment. Research projects pertaining to this area aim to a better understanding of the geological structure, soil properties and land use of the region, and investigate recent and past changes in climatic and environmental conditions of the area. The classification of the territory in forestry areas, agricultural zones, settlements and infra- structural areas is reformulated in terms of “quality”. This scheme allows a new representation of the units according to an eco-functional approach to the study of the landscape. This moves towards the development of a model in which the ecomosaic of natural biotic and abiotic components (past, present, future) interact with anthropogenic ones. As far as we are concerned, the latter are related to the traditional use of the soils, the presence of diffuse cultural entities, parks and protected areas, to the systems of interpretation and evaluation of these units. The goals of this area are therefore:

1. to define the main components of the alpine landscape, its geological structure and past environments and ecosystems. This includes the study of present and past transforma- tions and of the processes that have led to the most relevant changes; 2. to investigate the main features of the extant alpine landscape with reference to both instances of equilibrium and situations characterized by change (on different scales and times). This is carried out with special focus to the agents and dynamics of transformation; 3. to summarize the features of the alpine landscape and to track their changes over time.

15 The research activities at the Museo delle Scienze: Report 2012-2013

MUSE is recognized as a research centre of excellence in the following themes:

-- Documentation and conservation of alpine flora and fauna, both terrestrial and freshwater. These studies aim to assess and monitor the biodiversity in Trentino, create databases (which are mainly of insects and vertebrates), checklists, red lists and use these data to realize predictive models of spatial patterns of distribution in both natural and protected areas and urban areas. Such research has relevant implications for conservation because provides knowledge used to make landscape management plans.

- Effects of climate and environmental change on natural ecosystems and alpine biodiversity. It consists in basic and applied researches aimed to test the effect of natural and anthropogenic impacts on alpine biodiversity, to model trends in biodiversity, to define new bioindicators of ecosystem quality, and to evaluate the species extinction risks. The researches developed on springs, glacial rivers, glacier forelands and rock glaciers have national and international relevance due to the ongoing global warming and consequent glacier retreat. These researches help to implement the algae and entomological collections.

-- Ex situ conservation, propagation, cultivation and reintroduction of alpine plant species (seed bank). The researches maintain a long term seeds conservation centre in Trentino for endangered alpine species, crop wild relatives and neglected crops varieties. Tropical species are also in collection together with the local species enhancing the international value of the MUSE seed bank.

-- Biological diversity and conservation of tropical and sub-tropical regions. These researches originates from the assessment of the forest vertebrate diversity of poorly known or even previously unexplored areas, and subsequently involves analysis of biogeographic and speciation patterns, as well as focal, species-level studies, especially on mammals, on abundance estimation, ecological modeling, temporal monitoring and conservation. Most of the research and conservation activities are conducted in Tanzania’s Eastern Arc Mountains, one of the top global biodiversity hotspots. Here MUSE has a field station annexed to the Udzungwa Mountains National Park.

-- Palaeontology and palaeoichnology. This project aims to quantify the abundance and study the relationships of dinosaurs and other terrestrial reptiles in Trentino and surrounding regions. Specific actions involve the identification of new palaeontological sites and the development of new conservation actions and valorisation projects.

-- Geodiversity. This project aims at documenting local geodiversity in order to understand the relation between the natural environment and the dynamics of anthropic modification. This actions have high social relevance, in particular when associated with geological mapping and assessments of geological hazard.

-- Speleothems and cave waters. These projects aim to track past climatic oscillations in Trentino by means of sampling the calcite deposited in the caves, the underground waters and the hypogeal soils in the Province.

-- Prehistory. These mainly refer to researches on the first human peopling of the Alps (Late Glacial and early Holocene), which highlight the close relationship between the patterns of land use and social organization of human groups and the reconstruction of ancient landscapes. Of particular value are the abundant examples of mobilary prehistoric art discovered in prehistoric sites of Trentino.

16 The research programmes

-- Interconnections between scientific and technological innovations and social implications, focusing especially on sustainability issues of the sciences of life and its applications. This research is based on international networks. The aim is to enhance the role of MUSE to operate as a venue that brings culture and science together in a deliberative space, i.e. a ‘agora’ hosting dialogues where producers, policy makers and users of the scientific innovation can meet and directly face, and where science of culture and cultures of science become visible.

MUSE’s research work has a strong impact on the local context, for its vocation to provide rec- ommendations relevant to environmental management, valuing nature for tourism, and public engagement in science. MUSE’s researchers work alongside with professionals and administrators linked to the Provincia autonoma di Trento, contributing with environmental impact assessments and the provision of wildlife and protected area management plans.

4 The scientific collections The research activities at the Museo delle Scienze: Report 2012-2013

The natural history and archaeological collections of the Museo delle Scienze (about 300 collections and 5 millions objects) are of great interest for their close relationship with the Trentino area. Besides the objects of local origin, there are many specimens coming from the rest of Italy and from foreign countries, obtained through donations, travels, exchanges and research expeditions abroad. The oldest materials were collected more than two centuries ago and the collections increase every year through many new acquisitions. As vouchers of the natural and human diversity in time and space, the collections are precious research infrastractures, always available to the research community.

The MUSE collections are constantly investigated and cared for conservation by the staff, in order to go in depth in their documentation and study, and to make them available to the research community as to the general public. At present the 60.3% of the preserved heritage is fully cata- logued with a specific software in accordance with the national standards. In 2012-2013 MUSE received several loan requests: 62 outgoing loans were approved, 49 for research purposes and 13 for temporary exhibitions. The MUSE collections specimens were described or used as material in 35 different publications written by the museum staff or by other researchers who borrowed MUSE collections objects. Acquisition and documentation increased conspicuously with 6,021 new objects, 10,838 new catalogue cards digitized and 19,064 revised.

26 The scientific colllections

Tropical Biodiversity Since 1998 MTSN has conducted several research expeditions in the mountain rainforests of Tanzania, that have led to a collection of 4,650 specimens of amphibians and reptiles (and mammals to a much less extent). These include over 60 species that are new to science. The tropical african herpetology collection of MUSE is now recognized one of the most important with regards to the mountain forests of Tanzania. Among the mammals, the collection includes Rhynchocyon udzungwensis, the giant elephant-shrew discovered by MUSE researchers and described in 2008.

Botany Botany collections are made up by the herbarium and the living collections of the museum’s two botanic gardens (Viotte Alpine Garden and Arco Arbotretum) and the seed bank. The Herbarium (TR) accounts for approx. 150,000 specimens mainly collected from the mid eighteen century to the mid nineteen century. The major component is naturally local from Trentino and Tirol but a significant part of the collections originate from other parts of Italy, Europe and North Africa. Viotte alpine garden grows more than 1,200 alpine species from the major mountain chains of the world, with a special interest for endemic and threatened species, Arco arboretum includes nearly 200 species of fine and tender trees of garden interest. The seeds bank focuses on threatened and endemic species of conservation interest originating from the Eastern Alps.

Limnology and Phycology Phycological and limnological collections of the MUSE include more than 4,000 items collected in the frame of the numerous research projects carried out by the Section. These are mostly samples of microscopic organisms -such as diatoms, cyanobacteria, algae, zoobenthos and zooplankton- collected mainly in the Alps, and namely in the Autonomous Province of Trento. Besides these recently started collections, the Section also curates four historical algae collections including 4,000 exsiccata of marine and freshwater algae originating from different locations worldwide and collected mainly in the Nineteenth Century.

Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology Invertebrate collections of the MUSE include more than 1,2 million of specimens, aquatic and terrestrial. Historical collections (1850-1950 yr) include mainly terrestrial insects (about 175,000 specimens) and marine, freshwater and terrestrial molluscs. Most part of specimens (terrestrial and aquatic) are preserved in ethanol and were collected mainly in mountain regions in Italy but also abroad (Svalbard Islands, Pakistan-Karakorum, France-Pyrenees, etc.). A collection of more than 5,000 microscope slides of aquatic insects and crusta- ceans is also present.

Vertebrate Zoology The Vertebrate Zoology collections of MUSE include all classes of this taxon, with a marked prevalence of birds and mammals. Overall there are almost 11,500 specimens, of which 4,000 were collected between 1850 and 1950, while the rest come from recent donations, acquisitions and MUSE own research. It is especially interesting the small mammal collection, that counts 6,000 specimens among insectivors and rodents. The material demonstrate the tight link of MUSE with the local environment, and it overall includes whole animals prepared as skins or wet specimens, bird nests, eggs, prepared skeletons.

27 The research activities at the Museo delle Scienze: Report 2012-2013

Geology Geological collections of the MUSE are constituted of rocks, minerals and fossils collected from the main localities of the Trentino Alto Adige region and, in minor part, from Italian and foreign sites. The 16,800 specimens come from different sources, and became part of the museum heritage thanks to research activities, donations or occasional findings by privates or collaborators of the museum. Specimens, collected in a temporal range of more then two centuries, well document the local territory and testify the geological research enterprise of the Trentino area.

Prehistory MuSe’s archaeological collections are referred to lithic materials, ceramics, bone and horn manufacts, art manufacts, wood, vegetal fibres, metal manufacts and faunas. MuSe’s archaeological finds are more than 3 millions. They mostly belong to 40 provincial prehistoric sites, studied by the Museum from the 60’s.

Biodiversity A special series of papers on The Ecology of Springs published in and Ecology Freshwater Science Section of Limnology and Phycology

Springs are unique aquatic habitats that contribute significantly to local and regional biodiversity because of their high habitat complexity and the large number of different spring types. Many springs are small, but they are numerous and often of high water quality, and thus, provide habitats for species that are rare elsewhere because of their sensitivity to anthropogenic impacts (least-impaired habitat relicts). Springs are often species-rich and contain a larger number of Red List taxa than other aquatic habitats. Hy- drological factors, particularly flow permanence, water chemistry, and temperature are important ecological factors determining species distribution and community composition. Despite their importance for biodiversity and water quality, springs are much less studied than other aquatic ecosystems. They also are insufficiently covered by protective legislation, often resulting in the destruction of their natural habitat. The authors of papers in this special issue (15 articles) describe specific spring biota, including multitaxon studies, and discuss the role of environmental factors, providing funding for page charges for papers habitat variability at different spatial and temporal authored or co-authored by M.C., the Univer- scales, and the importance of natural and an- sity and Scientific Research Department of the thropogenic disturbance in spring habitats.
