This grant funds research projects that investigate the direct and indirect drivers of biodiversity decline in invertebrates, including insects, molluscs, and crustaceans, across European terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. Projects should analyze spatial and temporal dynamics, develop predictive models and decision-support tools, and contribute to implementing the EU Nature Restoration Regulation by enhancing ecosystem resilience and services.
