On 29 November, our very own Azzurra Tommasi enthusiastically presented the data collected so far within the PALLIPES project to the students of the Master's Degree in Global Change Ecology and Sustainability. During the meeting, Azzurra explained the research methods used, based on environmental DNA analysis (eDNA), the first evidence that has emerged and the implications of these results for the conservation of A. pallipes, biodiversity and aquatic ecosystems.
The event aroused great interest among the students, who actively participated with numerous questions and curiosity. Some focused on the methodological aspects of data collection, while others showed particular interest in the possible practical applications of the results obtained. The debate that ensued made the meeting an important opportunity for discussion and in-depth analysis, demonstrating how lively interest in research and the protection of endangered species is.
