______EDIT ATBI+M 04 Page 1 April 2011 NOTE FROM THE EDIT WP7 Leader SUMMARY OF THE EDIT ATBI+M With the EU funding for the EDIT network now ACTIVITIES coming to an end, this will be the last EDIT ATBI+M newsletter in its current format. We First we would like to present a brief summary look back at five years of intensive and successful about the results of our EDIT ATBI+M activities collaboration in organizing and conducting between 2007 and 2010 before going into details biodiversity inventories linked to conservation in the next pages of this newsletter: efforts, which led to a new approach for an ATBI+M concept and business case. This Between 2007 and 2010 Numbers approach focuses on the rapid generation of high March 2011 ATBI+M sites - established in six quality primary occurrence data for many protected areas of four countries 4 different organisms, which captured, processed, a) Mercantour (France) and shared electronically speed up both research b) Alpi Marittime (Italy) and conservation. c) Gemer Area (Slovakia) incl. 3 parks d) Spreewald (Germany) While data collecting and analysis are still ongoing for several EDIT ATBI+M sites, the Surveys 610 main challenge now is to ensure the sustainability Field days 3261 and longer-term future of these pilot projects.

All participants are encouraged to continue their involvement and support for these projects under the new project framework. As the ATBI+M concept and model has been proven successful, we also intend to expand the ATBI+M approach to new projects and areas in the future, both regionally, as in the possible case of the UNESCO Man and Biosphere (MAB) reserves in Germany, but also internationally. For this end, we will keep alive the ATBI+M website and data portal, and also maintain communications with you via email and institutional networks. Acknowledgement For the entire EDIT WP7 team, I would like to The ATBI+M team wants to thank all persons use this opportunity to thank personally all the who have contributed to the EDIT ATBI+M many individual contributors, and participants for project. Especially we would like to express our their great and valuable time and efforts, which gratitude to the Park head offices, the ATBI+M were essential to lead this endeavour to such site managers, all experts and stakeholders, and to success. We look forward to a continued the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin and the productive cooperation in the future. Stay in touch Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Stuttgart. and remain involved in ATBI+M!

First data records In 2010 110 species (736 data sets) have been recorded for this ATBI+M site.

The largest

group recorded were animals (n = 6141, Fig. 2b), Mercantour/Alpi Marittime – a source of with insects comprising 89.3% of the total biodiversity reported species. The biogeographic uniqueness of the Mercantour /

Alpi Marittime region made it an ideal place for implementing an ATBI+M, i.e. large-scale field work efforts to record, identify, and document the entire biodiversity of a given area. As for most protected areas, there was a lack of comprehensive and accurate data about its biodiversity (Fig. 1). After EDIT and the parks signed a MoU in June 2007, field activities started in July of the same year. Since then, the ATBI+M pilot site Mercantour/Alpi Marittime has developed into a sustainable story that will continue beyond EDIT.

The data indicate that the distribution of P. phoebus is restricted to areas higher than 1,700 m elevation, whereas the other two species have a much broader distribution.

Maximum diversity expressed as species richness was recorded at about 1,000 m elevation (Fig. 9), while the highest species diversity was recorded Fig. 12: Distribution of of Parnassius. phoebus () in the northern part of the NP Alpi Marittime (Fig. P. apollo ( ) and P. mnemosyne ( ) in NP Mercantour 10).

Also the turnover in species composition was About 40% of the Lepidoptera species reported in highest in the NP Alpi Marittime (Fig. 11), Fauna Europaea for France and Italy could be continuing into the Roya valley on the French site. recorded in the Mercantour / Alpi Marittime parks with the EDIT ATBI+M approach. Considering that the two parks comprise only 0.1% of France's and Italy's national territory, a minimum value of 40% species representation is a significant result. With regard to the limited time and effort spent, these results clearly demonstrate the importance of the area as a regional biodiversity hotspot, especially for insects. Further inventory work is needed towards a comprehensive inventory, both for taxonomic groups yet underrepresented, and to document detailed species distribution in the area. Fig. 10: Species richness of Lepidoptera

______EDIT ATBI+M 04 Page 8 April 2011 Aculeate Hymenoptera play an important role as pollinators and in part as parasitoids. Christian Schmid-Egger lists in his work 20 rare or very rare montane and Mediterranean species from five families that deserve further attention in the future. Three of these species are new for science and could be endemic for the region.

Moving forward Funding additional to the resources provided by EDIT was and still is essential to sustain the ATBI+M activities on the long term. A joint project proposal submitted by both parks to the Integrated Transboundary Action Plan IV Programme of the European Union awarded financial support within the framework of the “Alcotra 2007-2013” programme. Part of this large plan concerns the “Generalized Biological Inventory” (GBI) which will integrate and widen the ATBI+M activities started by EDIT. The GBI will continue all activities aimed at improving the knowledge on the and plant biodiversity in the Mercantour / Alpi Marittime territory and on ways to protect it. Also field activities at the ATBI+M site Spreewald will continue at least for this year with local funding of the Federal State of Brandenburg. Additional efforts to establish the ATBI+M approach in biosphere reserves can be read in the next page.

Nature conservation starts with defining target species Once a reasonable data baseline has been established, the next step towards developing conservation strategies can be started, namely defining target species of conservational relevance. This step has now been undertaken for the Aculeata (Hymenoptera) of Mercantour/Alpi Marittime (Schmid-Egger, in press, see page 10). ______EDIT ATBI+M 04 Page 9 April 2011 OUTLOOK is threefold: conservation, international research ATBI+M IN BIOSPHERE RESERVES and monitoring, and sustainable development.

In the world net of biosphere reserves the UNESCO has 564 biosphere reserves in 109 states on all continents (numbers from 2nd June 2010).

Biosphere Reserves – Why? Protected landscapes are not natural or near- natural ecosystems, such as rainforests or mangrove swamps, but areas that have been culturally defined by human management, often over periods of hundreds or thousands of years, which retain and often develop important natural, aesthetic, spiritual, and cultural values. The IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) sums them up as places “where the interaction of people and nature over time has produced an area of distinct character with significant ecological, biological, cultural and scenic value” (Dudley 2008).
