Europäische Bienenstudie

Die Arbeitsgruppe COLOSS erhebt die Wintersterblichkeit von Honigbienen in Europa. Die Ergebnisse der Saison 2013/14 wurden unter Mitarbeit der Uni Graz soeben publiziert.

Österreich liegt bei den Winterverlusten im Ländervergleich im Spitzenfeld. Die Daten für die Studie wurden an der Uni Graz gesammelt.

Das Team um Karl Crailsheim und Robert Brodschneider vom Institut für Zoologie der Uni Graz beteiligt sich an der europaweiten Studie COLOSS - kurz für "Prevention of Honeybee COlony LOSSes" -, die die Winterverluste von Honigbienen erhebt und internationale Vergleiche anstellt. Dieser Tage wurden die Ergebnisse für die Saison 2013/14 publiziert. Die Basis bilden Daten aus 19 europäischen Ländern sowie Algerien und Israel. Im Durchschnitt war die Verlustrate mit neun Prozent die niedrigste seit 2007, seit die Vergleichsdaten gesammelt werden. Am besten überlebten die Honigbienen in Norwegen, wo nur sechs Prozent der Völker verendeten, die höchsten Verluste erlitt Portugal mit 14 Prozent. Auch Österreich liegt mit einer durchschnittlichen Sterblichkeitsrate von knapp 13 Prozent im Spitzenfeld. In allen Ländern gibt es regionale Unterschiede. Die genauen Ursachen für die Verluste wird die Arbeitsgruppe noch analysieren, die Witterungsbedingungen dürften eine wesentliche Rolle spielen.

Die an der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz erhobenen Österreichischen Daten im Detail wurden bereits im Juni veröffentlicht.

Students from the University of Graz are spending two weeks conducting research at the Univerisity of Graz research station at the Sermilik Fjord in Greenland, which has been operational for three years.

Black coffee stimulates us and acts against bacteria. So, can caffeine also be good for insects? Yes, confirm biologists of the University of Graz. When ants suffer from a fungal disease, they consume more caffeine and remain active for longer.

How formulas are making medicine more personalised

When Federica Caforio talks about the heart, it doesn’t sound like an operating theatre, but rather like equations, parameters and simulations. Yet this is precisely where the medical promise of her research lies: one day, clinical data will be used to create a digital twin of the heart – a virtual model that will enable a better understanding of diseases and allow for more personalised treatment plans. She will be presenting her research at the ‘ECMTB 2026’ mathematics conference.
