Die Arve und der Tannenhäher: Eine bewegende Lebensgemeinschaft
Overview
Intro
Stories by Felix Gugerli
For its part, the nutcracker, known as the feathered forester, buries Swiss stone pine seeds in the ground as winter food. Because some of these seed hiding places remain unused, these seeds can germinate and allow the next generation of Swiss stone pines to grow. However, the increasingly warm and dry summers are also affecting the Swiss stone pine, and it is questionable whether it will be able to move to higher mountain regions quickly enough.On a short tour around the Villa Cassel, you will learn interesting facts about the Swiss stone pine, its biology and history, and of course about its ingenious interaction with the nutcracker. As a biologist and mountain hiker, Felix Gugerli enjoys the Swiss stone pine forests in all their facets. In his role as a senior scientist at the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL, he studies the ecology of the Swiss stone pine in interaction with its environment, not least with the nutcracker. Genetic methods help to describe evolutionary processes and to learn new things about the past and future prospects of this important tree species in the Alpine region. This is an event in the event series Culture meets Science.
