12 specie di mammiferi in più rispetto a 25 anni fa
La più grande indagine condotta finora sui mammiferi della Svizzera è stata completata, rilevando la presenza di 99 specie, 12 in più rispetto all’ultimo bilancio, ottenuto nel 1995. Nel nuovo “Atlante dei mammiferi”, i ricercatori indicano che alcune di esse, come il Lupo o la Lontra, sono di ritorno, mentre altre, come il Toporagno del Vallese o il Vespertilio criptico sono specie scoperte di recente. Basato su oltre un milione di osservazioni, il libro documenta la distribuzione dei nostri mammiferi in maniera accurata come mai in precedenza.

Schneefliegen (Chionea) im Auengebiet Selhofenzopfen
Im Rahmen einer Masterarbeit über die Spinnendiversität der verschiedenen Vegetationsstufen eines Auengebietes wurden im Selhofenzopfen (Kehrsatz, Bern) 45 Barberfallen aufgebaut und ein Jahr lang beprobt. Nebst Spinnen und anderen Arthropoden fand sich dabei auch die Schneefliege Chionea belgica (Becker, 1912) (Diptera, Limoniidae).
Position paper on the proposed ban of carbon dioxide for rodent euthanasia
The use of carbon dioxide for rodent euthanasia is currently a matter of intense debate, with an announced intention to discourage it, or even to prohibit it. A systematic review of publications related to the use of carbon dioxide for euthanasia in mice and rats is being conducted by an IACLAM (International Association of Colleges of Laboratory Animal Medicine) task force. Preliminary results reveal that there is very little scientific evidence supporting its prohibition so far and concluded in recommending additional research.
Arnold Berliner Award 2019 goes to Martin Nyffeler
Swiss scientist is honored for his work on the global predation impact of insectivorous birds.
La Suisse fait un mauvais usage de ses collections scientifiques
La Suisse tend à faire mauvais usage de ses vastes collections de sciences naturelles, lesquelles contiennent plus de 60 millions d'objets. À l'heure actuelle, seulement 17 % des objets sont enregistrés numériquement et donc réellement accessibles pour l'évaluation scientifique. C'est ce que montre le rapport «Importance nationale des collections suisses de sciences naturelles» de l'Académie suisse des sciences naturelles (SCNAT). Par conséquent, la SCNAT préconise d’ investir davantage pour faire en sorte que les collections constituent une infrastructure de recherche réellement efficace.

A platform for the discovery of new macrolide antibiotics
Scientists present a novel approach for the discovery and manufacture of macorlide antibiotics. It has the potential to become a valuable tool in the arms race against resistant microbes.
Biotech breakthrough: Sunlight can be used to produce chemicals and energy
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have discovered a natural process they describe as reverse photosynthesis. In the process, the energy in solar rays breaks down, rather than builds plant material, as is the case with photosynthesis. The sunlight is collected by chlorophyll, the same molecule as used in photosynthesis. Combined with a specific enzyme the energy of sunlight now breaks down plant biomass, with possible uses as chemicals, biofuels or other products, that might otherwise take a long time to produce. By increasing production speed while reducing pollution, the discovery has the potential to revolutionize industrial production. The research results have now been published in Nature Communications.
The first Lelio Orci Award will be presented to Gisou van der Goot (EPFL) at the LS2 meeting in Lausanne

The objective of the award is to honor an outstanding scientist for his/her research achievements or a promising young researcher in the field of Cellular Biology. The board of trustees of the Lelio Orci Fonds will award for the first time in 2015 the Lelio Orci Award 2015, a sum of 10,000 Swiss francs, to Prof. Gisou van der Goot at the Life Sciences Switzerland - LS2 – Annual Meeting in Lausanne, Amphimax/Amphipôle February 16, 2015. As part of the award ceremony, Gisou van der Goot will present her work in a public seminar in the lecture hall “Erna Hamburger” (Amphimax), at 16:45.
LS2 member Richard Benton wins National Latsis Prize 2015
The National Latsis Prize 2015 has been awarded to biologist Richard Benton for his work on the fruit fly's sense of smell. Using an interdisciplinary approach he studies how chemical signals control the behaviour of insects. How odours influence actions is one of the fundamental questions in neuroscience. Richard Benton, associate professor at the Center for Integrative Genomics at the University of Lausanne, follows the molecular trail of chemical messages from the nose to the brain of insects. For his work, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) on behalf of the International Latsis Foundation awards Benton with the National Latsis Prize 2015.
