IBISCA

IBISCA is an informal group of 100+ experts in tropical biodiversity and an international research programme which aims at studying the spatial (horizontal, vertical, altitudinal) and temporal distribution of the organisms which constitute a major part of forest biodiversity: arthropods. Interactions with plants and selected other organisms are also studied... Our approach is based on highly integrative research projects and the use of state-of-the art canopy access techniques. Field projects are conducted worldwide in tropical, subtropical and temperate forests... ibisca - Investigating the Biodiversity of Soil and Canopy Arthropods
