Over the duration of the project, and alongside the ornithological, botanical and hydrological observation programmes undertaken as part of the project, numerous other studies of the Weidmoos’ animal and plant world were carried out. For example, the herpetological working group of the Haus der Natur and of the University of Salzburg undertook a comprehensive study of all amphibians and reptiles present. Patrick Gros and Gernot Embacher of the entomological working group documented the butterflies and dragonflies of the area. In her master’s thesis Roswitha Pöckl, from the University of Salzburg, documented the fauna of the new ponds in the Weidmoos
