Endemics

Endemic species are represented across nearly all major taxonomic groups. In some groups, such as fungi, lichens, algae, and mosses, they are rare or entirely absent, whereas in others — including flowering plants, snails, beetles, and spiders — they constitute a substantial component of Austria’s overall species diversity.

Molluscs

Malacological reference collections provide valuable data for long-term observations and are, particularly within this group of organisms, one of the most important foundations for faunistic documentation and research.

ABOL

Development of workflows to link specimens, including their sequence data and DNA bank records, as well as associated digital images and metadata, making them accessible as part of the OSCA infrastructure.
