The
Fondazione Ethoikos presently carries out a research project
on biodiversity in the “La Selva” Forest, Radicondoli (Si), in
collaboration with the Dipartimento di Biologia
Evoluzionistica, Università di Firenze and the
Dipartimento di Sienze dela Vita, Università di Siena.
This study has the objective of acquiring knowledge on fauna
and flora in the area. In particular, eco-ethological aspects
of different species are analysed, as well as population
dynamics, interactions between species and with the physical
environment.
Ongoing
studies
Mustelids - Since 2005: ongoing
studies of population ecology of pine marten, badger, beech
marten and polecat, using radio tracking (between 2005 and
2010 in collaboration with the Department of Biology,
Torvergata University Rome) and camera trapping techniques.
Micromammals
- Since 2011: ongoing research on presence, abundance and
source-sink dynamics of micromammal populations (Rodentia,
Eulipothyphla) within different types of environment.
Birds
- Since 2013: ongoing research on population and
reproductive dynamics of local colonies of swallows. Since
2016 surveys are ongoing on the density and ecology of
raptors and small passerines, in relation to different
forest habitats.
Flora and fauna checklist
- Since 2009: ongoing data collection to draw up a checklist
of flora and fauna in the research area, with particular
attention to vertebrates, terrestrial invertebrates (molluscs
and arthropods) and fresh water fauna.
