Exploring the rhythms of migratory animals, their causes and purposes, and the importance of scientific research in bird ecology, aimed at their conservation and the prevention of human threats
Life in the sea follows natural rhythms shaped by the tides, the cycle of day and night, and the phases of the Moon, and participants will discover these fascinating phenomena and their influence on marine life.
Participants will learn about the importance of circadian rhythms and how disruptions, such as light pollution, can affect the health and behaviour of both wildlife and humans.
Careful observation in nature reveals footprints, droppings, feeding marks, scratches or rubs, hair, shed skins and feathers, paths, dens, and resting sites. These traces allow us to identify…
GPS tracking devices make it possible to follow the movements of animals in the wild. They provide valuable data on migration patterns, feeding grounds, and behavioural habits.
Thermal imaging cameras offer a means of studying animal behaviour, daily and nightly activity rhythms, and habitat use, particularly in areas that are otherwise difficult to access. The…
The recognition and study of animal sounds are essential for understanding communication, behaviour, and ecology. By analysing call frequencies, researchers can identify specific patterns and extract vital information…
Using call playback techniques helps researchers study animal behaviour, habitat size, and population trends. This approach contributes both to a better ecological understanding of species and to more…
Some animals are capable of producing and emitting light, while others reflect and amplify it to improve their orientation in the environment. Studying these abilities provides insights into…
At the NIB Open Day, we will explore the world of molds, mycotoxins, and food safety through a photography exhibition, hands-on experiments, microscopic observations, and photography.
What’s hidden in the pattern? Are you curious? 🧪 Perhaps a healthy green smoothie to combat autumn fatigue? 🌱 Perhaps green algae, tiny organisms that produce oxygen for…
