A lecture held on the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, celebrated on February 11. Given by Carme Bartrina Galan, research technician at the Natural Sciences Museum of Granollers and member of the BiBio Research Group. She specializes in the monitoring of small mammals and stands out particularly for her technical support work in the Dormouse Project. Her work is key to the study of biodiversity and the long-term monitoring of native fauna.
The edible dormouse (Glis glis) is a small arboreal mammal that lives in deciduous forests and is one of the strictly hibernating mammal species found in Europe. This species, like all small mammals, shows a rapid response to environmental changes and habitat disturbances. In Catalonia, its study began in 2004 at the Montnegre and El Corredor Natural Park, led by the Natural Sciences Museum of Granollers, to address the lack of studies in the Iberian Peninsula and the few existing records of this species in Catalan territory. Today, the Dormouse Project has become a leading citizen science network for studying this species in Catalonia, with 62 monitoring stations distributed throughout the territory. Some of these stations are led by researchers from the Dormouse Project team, while more than half are managed by volunteers from across the region.
Throughout February, a mobile library will be available at the Documentation Point of Espai Cràter, featuring a curated collection of materials to commemorate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
