Ana Leitão & Raquel Ponti, from CIBIO-BIOPOLIS, will investigate bird evolution in insular environments. Their SIBECOL-funded project explores how reduced predation & stable climates shape sexual dimorphism in endemic species. @anavleitao.bsky.social @raquelponti.bsky.social #evolution #birdresearch

The ECR project MicroFlux led by @nestor-arandia.bsky.social aims to explore how microorganisms living in coastal aquifers influence the chemistry of groundwater discharging into the sea, aiming to shed light on the role of coastal aquifers as attenuators of nitrogen pollution to the coastal ocean.

We are thrilled to announce the awardees of the 2025 SIBECOL Early Career Research Projects! 🏆 These projects aim to support emerging ecologists, fostering collaboration and promoting interdisciplinary research in Ecology. 🌱🌍 Congratulations! 🔗 sibecol.org/news
