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
