LIFE 2018 GREEN4BLUE “GREENing the BLUE canals infrastructure of Reno basin to enhance ecosystems connectivity and services”

Il progetto europeo LIFE 2018 GREEN4BLUE “LIFE18 NAT/IT/000946 GREENing the BLUE canals infrastructure of Reno basin to enhance ecosystems connectivity and services” si pone come principale obiettivo la riduzione della frammentazione e della degradazione degli habitat nelle aree di pianura comprese nelle province di Bologna e Ferrara, mirando a salvaguardare e ripristinare i servizi ecosistemici nelle aree umide e nei canali gestiti dal Consorzio della Bonifica Renana, capofila del progetto. Tale obiettivo sarà perseguito incrementando la funzione di corridoio ecologico dei canali (Infrastruttura Verde/Blu), a supporto della biodiversità locale e della connessione tra le aree umide della pianura (Rete Natura 2000), e agendo in maniera integrata insieme agli altri attori del territorio nel controllo delle specie aliene invasive (Nutria, Gambero rosso della Louisiana), anche aumentando la resilienza ambientale favorita dalla colonizzazione e dalla nidificazione di Ardeidi, efficienti predatori del Gambero rosso della Lousiana. Nell’ambito di tale progetto verranno condotte azioni di censimento e monitoraggio delle due IAS target del progetto e dell’avifauna locale e indagato il ruolo ecologico della specie Nutria nella possibile circolazione di alcuni patogeni (es. Influenza). Infine, verrà condotta la sperimentazione di un farmaco immunocontraccettivo da testare su questa specie, al fine di mettere a punto una strategia di controllo efficace ed innovativa da affiancarsi alle metodiche più comunemente impiegate per il contenimento numerico della specie. (Grant Agreement NO LIFE18 NAT/IT/000946).

SPARTEVs – Impact of extracellular vesicles isolated from seminal plasma upon Assisted Reproductive Technology (oocyte maturation, fertilization and embryo culture) in a mammalian model - MSCA

The project aims to enhance the current knowledge of seminal extracellular vescicles (EVs) and to evaluate whether they can improve the efficiency of in vitro embryo production (IVP), a technology with a great potential in the biomedical and agricultural field but still inefficient. The project represents an innovative challenge for IVP, both for livestock animals and humans, since it tackles the problematic of IVP efficiency from a novel angle.  (Grant agreement No 891382).
