Biological control manufacturers in Europe develop novel biological control products to support the implementation of Integrated Pest Management in agriculture and forestry (BIOCOMES)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

"The objective of BIOCOMES is to develop 11 new biological control agents (BCAs) for key markets in European agriculture and forestry. BCAs were identified through market analysis by six manufactures of biological control products. BCAs will primarily be for use in open field crops of vegetables (3), of which 2 are also for use in protected crops, arable crops (3), fruit crops (3), and three diffe ...

Towards COast to COast NETworks of marine protected areas ( from the shore to the high and deep sea), coupled with sea-based wind energy potential (COCONET)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Environmental policies focus on protecting habitats valuable for their biodiversity, as well as producing energy in cleaner ways. The establishment of Marine Protected Area (MPA) networks and installing Offshore Wind Farms (OWF) are important ways to achieve these goals. The protection and management of marine biodiversity has focused on placing MPAs in areas important for biodiversity. This has p ...

Bioinformatic analysis of transcription regulation: a modeling approach (Promoter predictions)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

Transcription is both the first step and a major regulatory checkpoint in gene expression. Transcription start sites are locations in genome where RNA polymerase initiates transcription, while transcription binding sites are locations where transcription factors bind to regulate transcription. Knowledge of both transcription start sites, and transcription factor binding sites, is crucial for under ...

Transnational Ecological Networks in Central Europe (TransEcoNet)

Start date: Dec 31, 2008, End date: Apr 29, 2012,

Protected areas, like national parks, nature parks or biosphere reserves, are often isolated islands for the protection of the worlds biodiversity. They are separated by less or unprotected landscapes, traffic corridors or settlements. Often animal and plant species dispose of less space for migration, dispersion and reproduction than necessary. To preserve natural and cultural heritage in the lon ...

Protection and management of coastal habitats in Latvia (LV coastal habitats)

Start date: Apr 1, 2005, End date: Jun 30, 2006,

Background The Latvian coastline formed a border of the Soviet Union for several decades. Access was strictly controlled and the coast was out of bounds. As a result, its impressive array of habitat types – grey, white and wooded dunes, coastal lagoons, boreal Baltic coastal meadows, and calcareous fens – are still in good condition (23 habitat types ...
