Open Call for Research Projects in ICTS-Doñana!

The Singular Scientific and Technical Infrastructure Doñana Biological Reserve (ICTS-Doñana) announces the opening of a call for international research projects in the Doñana Natural Space.

Selected projects will receive a grant of up to €10,000 per application, intended to cover expenses such as travel and per diems for researchers, consumables, and small research project materials.

Priority will be given to international projects that collaborate with Spanish research teams in Doñana Natural Space, that make use of the facilities of the ICTS and/or use environmental monitoring data provided by ICTS-Doñana.

The call for proposals will remain open until 30 June 2024, with priority given to projects led by young researchers and women.

Send your research project in Spanish or English with the CV of the Principal Researcher to direccion.ebd@csic.es

Feather fault bars: review and model

Feather fault bars: review and model

First review and synthesis paper on feather fault bars. A model is proposed to link fault bar severity with the propensity to produce fault bars and the intensity of the perturbation. This study helps to explain contradictory results in the literature, to identify knowledge gaps, and to suggest further studies. Authors discuss that fault bars may be a key element to understand other aspects of avian evolutionary ecology, such as the physiology of moult, the integration of moult into avian life cycles, the strategies used by birds to minimize stress during moult, and the evolution of bird flight. informacion[at]ebd.csic.es: Jovani and Rohwer (2016) Fault bars in bird feathers: mechanisms, and ecological and evolutionary causes and consequences.
