“…In the northern part of the forest, the pedunculate oak is replaced by Turkey oak (Quercus cerris), while in the eastern part, southern ash (Fraxinus angustifolia) and black alder (Alnus glutinosa) are abundant. Between 1952 and 1958, allochthonous tree species (Quercus rubra, Platanus x acerifolia, Juglans nigra) were planted and the Life Project NAT/IT99/6245 initiated the elimination of the most invasive species, Q. rubra (Cavalli and Mason 2003, Mason 2003, Mason and Minari 2009. From the early 1990s, no wood has been removed from the forest and therefore the amount of dead wood increased: in 1995 it consisted of ca 26 m 3 /ha on average (Mason 2002a) but locally reached 124 m 3 /ha (Travaglini et al 2007).…”

The Life Project “Monitoring of insects with public participation” (LIFE11 NAT/IT/000252) had as the main objective to develop and test methods for the monitoring of five beetle species listed in the Annexes of the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC): Osmodermaeremita (hermit beetle, Scarabaeidae), Lucanuscervus (European stag beetle, Lucanidae), Cerambyxcerdo (great capricorn beetle, Cerambycidae), Rosaliaalpina (rosalia longicorn, Cerambycidae) and Morimusasper/funereus (morimus longicorn, Cerambycidae). The data gathered represent an important contribution to the monitoring of these target species in Italy. The methods developed for monitoring of the target species are intended for use by the local management authorities and staff of protected areas. These developed methods are the result of extensive fieldwork and ensure scientific validity, ease of execution and limited labour costs. The detailed description of methods and the results for each species are published in separate articles of this special issue of Nature Conservation. A second objective of the project was to gather faunistic data with a Citizen Science approach, using the web and a mobile application software (app) specifically built for mobile devices. The validation of the records collected by the citizens was carried out by experts, based on photographs, which were obligatory for all records. Dissemination activities represented the principal way to contact and engage citizens for the data collection and also offered the possibility of providing information on topics such as Natura 2000, the Habitats Directive, the role of monitoring in nature conservation, the importance of forest ecosystems and the ecological role of the saproxylic insects. An innovative method tested during the project was the training of a dog for searching and monitoring the elusive hermit beetle; the trained dog also added a “curiosity” factor to attract public attention towards this rare insect and the issues mentioned above.
