Bonpland Prize awarded to Biology PhD student Giorgio Vicari
Biology PhD student Giorgio Vicari was awarded the Bonpland Prize during the conference of the Italian Alexander von Humboldt Association "University Education", held at the University of Ferrara from May 29 to 31, 2025.
The award was jointly conferred in the scientific area for a project entitled "A Journey into the Hidden Biodiversity of Giannutri", aimed at uncovering the interactions between flowers and Apoidea on the island through pollen sampling from both plants and insects. The objective is to raise awareness of the importance of pollination networks and to enhance the value of the local ecological heritage.
