• Valentina Filippini is leaving to Costa Rica!

  Our member Valentina Filippini, actually in Spain to the Alicante University for a doctoral research on the biodiversity of the neotropical Anomalinae (Scarabaeidae, Rutelinae), is leaving to Costa Rica, where she will study in the next three months the collection of the Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad (INBio). The INBio is a private research and biodiversity management Center, established in 1989 to gather knowledge on the country’s biological diversity and promote its sustainable use. At present, INBio has a collection of more than 3 million specimens of arthropods, plants, fungi and mollusks, each one duly identified and catalogued. The collec tion is very rich in Coleoptera Rutelinae, in part not yet identified and described.
Besides, Valentina will begin a Project to use the Anomalinae, together with Rutelinae and Cetonidae, as bioindicators to study the effects of the habitat fragmentation (in this case, plots of rain forest surrounded by cultivations) on the loss of biodiversity.
