livia's scheffler is the project leader. she is investigating the impact of modern agricultural methods including the use of pesticides and fertilizers on the diversity of plant and animal life in nearby protected areas they're measuring catching and examining everything they can get their hands on insects that fly bugs that crawl vegetation birds and even bats that's important fun fisa traps for graham dwelling in sex like beatles. would have been hyped into the ground. war this is a final theatre that means. extra currency and. we then fall into the alcohol which preserves them for the d.n.a. analysis will carry out later will put this right in it and arrange it so that the beatles will crawl on its careful. so what kinds of results are they expecting to find. now. i think i tried to narrow down what factors are responsible for the decline in insect populations. with that information we can make evidence based recommendations and advice policymakers. i also want to work with thomas to develop adaptations that will allow th

insect taxonomist are in short supply nowadays livia scheffler says it would take decades to classify this all by hand. today researchers employed genetic analysis to distinguish among insect species. the computer compares the genetic results with an online database and returns the results. one of livia scheffler schools is determining what role past asides are playing in the insect die off. for the genetic analysis the insects are pulverized and suspended in a solution. the 8 research institutes collaborating on the project hope to expand on the results documented by the clay feld study. in all men data so all this study published by our colleagues in cray felt seems to have opened a window that will allow us to do something to preserve species diversity. one or maybe we can get politicians to listen to what we're saying. we return to lake constance the apple plantation is in full bloom. alexandra klein has brought a doctoral student with her their intellect in politics. these are announced or apple trees the 2 biologists planned to pollinate the elster trees by hand. but just gather
