Morialta BioBlitz 2015

Scientists and naturalists conduct biological surveys and take members of the public along to help collect, observe, record and learn. BioBlitz events are hands-on, scientific fun, designed around making discoveries, sharing talents, and igniting the interests of participants.

How will the Morialta BioBlitz run?

The BioBlitz will run over two days. The first day is a Friday, with the daytime activities reserved for school classes. After the schools leave, survey activities with the public will begin. The events will run until about 11pm on the Friday night to allow for nocturnal activities like frog searches, spotlighting for mammals, light-trapping of moths and acoustic recording of bats. On the Saturday, activities will commence around 8am and run until 4pm, with a variety of biological surveys, including birds, mammals, weeds, ants, orchids, soil fauna, and many more. All of the biodiversity we find will be recorded and shared through the Atlas of Living Australia.

科学家与博物学家开展生物调查活动，并邀请公众参与其中，协助采集、观测、记录相关样本，同时学习相关知识。生物速查（BioBlitz）活动兼具实操性与科学趣味性，旨在推动新发现、分享专业技能，并激发参与者的兴趣。

莫里阿尔塔生物速查（Morialta BioBlitz）活动将如何开展？

本次活动为期两天。首日为周五，日间时段的活动面向在校班级开展；中小学活动结束后，面向公众的调查活动随即启动。活动将持续至周五晚间约23时，以便开展夜间调查项目，包括蛙类搜寻、哺乳动物聚光灯观测、蛾类灯光诱捕，以及蝙蝠声学录音等。

周六的活动约于上午8时启动，持续至下午4时，涵盖鸟类、哺乳类、杂草、蚂蚁、兰科植物、土壤动物等多类群的生物调查项目。本次调查发现的所有生物多样性数据，都将通过澳大利亚生物物种名录（Atlas of Living Australia）进行记录与共享。
