In 7-10 November 2016, the second workshop of ODYSSEE was organized in Chasselay (France), under the initiative of Philippe Choler (LECA – Grenoble) and Mihai PUȘCAȘ (UBB – Cluj-Napoca). The workshop was devoted to the “Analyses of multifaceted ecological data”.

This is the final brochure of the ODYSSEE project for the general public.

During the field season of 2016, the ODYSSEE researchers were involved in a field campaign that aimed to: (i) gather microclimate data recorded by the HOBO loggers installed in 2014 in the sites, (ii) place new data loggers to better represent the range of environmental conditions of alpine meadows by including “thermic alpine” settings, and (iii)…

This year, ODYSSEE has been extended by including two additional major mountain ranges of Europe, the Balkans and the Pyrenees, with the aim of acquiring data from new biogeographical regions and contrasting environments. These sampled areas are under the influence of Mediterranean climate and represent the southernmost distribution for Carex curvula alpine communities.

In 19-20 May 2015, the first workshop on Odyssee and BioDivMount projects was organized in Cluj-Napoca, under the initiative of Eric COISSAC (LECA – Grenoble), Pierre TABERLET (LECA – Grenoble), Philippe CHOLER (LECA – Grenoble), and Mihai PUȘCAȘ (UBB – Cluj-Napoca). The workshop was devoted to DNA metabarcoding, a new technique for assessing biodiversity from environmental…

COISSAC Eric, PUSCAS Mihai, TABERLET Pierre  Download as PDF   DNA metabarcoding is a rapidly evolving method for assessing biodiversity from environmental DNA. It has a wide range of applications: biodiversity monitoring, animal diet assessment, reconstruction of paleo communities, among others. The Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, in collaboration with the Laboratoire of Alpine Ecology (LECA – Grenoble),…

The 2014 field campaign took place between June and August 2014. Both French and Romanian teams successfully covered the whole geographical extension that has been planned within the framework of the ODYSSEE project. Hereby we provide  a brief summary of the results.

ODYSSEE was presented as a poster at the International Symposium “Floristic patterns at different organisation and distribution levels“, which took place in Cluj-Napoca (Romania), 16-18th of May, 2014.

The ODYSSEE partners met in Preddvor (Slovenia) in the spring of 2014, with the aim at discussing the main tasks of the project.
