Expo, Aeneas arrives software against invasive insects in the

The software allows you to draw a map of the risk posed by invasive insects, or to assess the spread and to quantify the potential damage to the local level A Expo comes a tool created from a ‘alliance between Italian and US researchers, in order to preserve biodiversity’ in the agricultural sector, more and more ‘threatened by climate change, by heavy use of chemicals and the spread of invasive alien species, such as the buzzer, or a dangerous bacterium, as Xylella fastidiosa, which endanger lives and olive trees. It is a technology developed within the project GlobalChangeBiology, coordinated by ENEA and developed in collaboration with the University ‘of California at Berkeley and the scientific consortium nonprofit Global Casas, presented today at the conference “A World ( bio) different: agro-biodiversity ‘in a changing world “, held at the Auditorium of Cascina Triulza. “With our technology – explains the agronomist and entomologist Enea Luigi Ponti – based software that simulates the operation of an ecosystem in its essential elements and according special scenarios, for the first time and ‘can take action to deal with science-based quantitative the criticality ‘determined by the stress intense and very fast that the agro-ecosystem and’ subjected today. ” Specifically, the software allows [...]

A Expo comes one instrument, born from an alliance between Italian and US researchers, in order to preserve biodiversity ‘ in agriculture, more and more ‘threatened by climate change, by heavy use of chemicals and the spread of invasive alien species, such as the buzzer, or a dangerous bacteria, such as Xylella fastidiosa, which endanger lives and olive trees. It is a technology developed within the project GlobalChangeBiology, coordinated by ENEA and developed in collaboration with the University ‘of California at Berkeley and the scientific consortium nonprofit Global Casas, presented today at the conference “A World ( bio) different: agro-biodiversity ‘in a changing world “, held at the Auditorium of Cascina Triulza. “With our technology – explains the agronomist and entomologist Enea Luigi Ponti – based software that simulates the operation of an ecosystem in its essential elements and according special scenarios, for the first time and ‘can take action to deal with science-based quantitative the criticality ‘determined by the stress intense and very fast that the agro-ecosystem and’ subjected today. ” Specifically, the software allows you to draw a map of the risk posed by invasive insects, or to assess the spread and to quantify the potential damage to the local level, on the basis of models that simulate the dynamics of crop and weed species in relation to behavior, physiology and climatic conditions. The alarm – adds Enea – comes from the fact that with globalization and global warming, invasive species are set to increase: witness the growing presence of tropical insects and harmful plants in the Mediterranean Basin, the mosquito tiger, seaweed killer that caused extensive damage in the Posidonia meadows, until the Xylella that had never been reported before in the euro-Mediterranean region.
