Rezultaty
I have led and co-coordinated two teams in an intensive field work campaign across high-elevation forests of the two continental islands Trinidad & Tobago and nine oceanic islands of the Lesser Antilles in the East Caribbean Sea (11 islands, 5 replicates on each). In contrast to Trinidad & Tobago, the Lesser Antilles have never had a continental connection, are sufficiently isolated to sustain endemism and are close enough to sources of colonization to display a dynamic interaction with surrounding continental areas. This system is thus ideally suited to study effects of insularity (e.g., isolation, area) and environmental factors (e.g., climate) on ecosystem functions. The data is the first of its kind on islands worldwide, as it combines information about bird-mediated pollination and seed dispersal, functional bird and plant traits, as well as information about infections with blood parasites. To obtain this data, we mist-netted birds, collected pollen, faecal and blood samples from all bird individuals and additionally measured functional traits related to pollination and frugivory (beak shape, tarsus, body mass). The data comprises 1630 bird individuals, from 68 species. Further, we collected functional flower, fruit and seed traits from all flowering and fruiting plant species encountered at the sampling sites (floral corolla shape, fruit & seed size). The collected pollen and seed samples are being identified to species level and the blood samples will be screened for parasites in the laboratory in collaboration with parasitology experts. This unique and comprehensive dataset represents an unprecedented opportunity to understand how bird-plant interaction networks assemble across islands and evaluate the relative importance of insularity, environmental factors, functional traits and parasites in the process.I will integrate methods from: (a) mutualistic interaction networks, (b) functional ecology, (c) parasitology, and (d) island biogeography. I will analyse the largest dataset of empirical pollination networks and the only dataset of empirical seed-dispersal networks spanning the islands of the East Caribbean. I will link this data to functional traits and infection status of species for the first time in close collaboration with several international institutes.I will use existing online open- access repositories (e.g., Figshare, institutional repositories and my personal Github) and use internationally accepted data standards for data formatting (interoperable and reusable data), to assure FAIR data and code publication.
"IslandNet is a project focused on basic, fundamental research and will hence mainly target the scientific community. This will be achieved via distinct research deliverables (RD): Publication in peer-reviewed journals. I aim to publish at least three first-author papers. WP1-3 would culminate in one article each, summarizing the respective results. Given the novelty and interdisciplinarity of the project, I will target high-impact journals (e.g., Ecology Letters, Nature Communications) (RD1-3). I will additionally develop shiny web apps for the respective publications, where the data and results can be displayed dynamically. Scientific conferences. I will present my research at conferences, such as the Symposium on “Frugivory and Seed Dispersal” (2024); Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation or Society of Island Biology (2025) and Society for Tropical Ecology (2026) (RD4-7). Seminars. I will present at least one seminar talk at each host institution (RD8- 9) and other labs from my network if invited. Social media. I will periodically share progress and news about the project via IslandNet Twitter and Instagram accounts, and I will always include the hashtag #MSCActions (RD10).Furthermore, I will actively engage in multiple Outreach activities (OA): Collaborate with local associations. I have established good working contacts with institutions on all East Caribbean islands (e.g., Department of Environment on Montserrat; Forestry Division of Trinidad & Tobago). I will help organize activities to raise awareness about the vulnerability of ecosystems on islands (if possible, in situ). Together, we will translate the scientific results of IslandNet to a language that is accessible to a broad audience and create more awareness of the importance of biodiversity. In particular, the Forestry Division of Trinidad & Tobago in collaboration with the University of the West Indies has excellent infrastructure and staff to help disseminate results and reach diverse audiences (OA1). Press releases. For each scientific paper (RD1-3), I will prepare press releases to attract the attention of a broad and general public through newspapers (local and regional) or interviews for international conservation online press, such as Mongabay (OA2). Popular science articles. I will create one article on the general theoretic background, the findings and the implications of IslandNet, including photographs documenting the field work effort for popular science journals, such as Terre Sauvage (OA3). Public talks. I will give two presentations aimed at the broad public as organized e.g., by the staff of the ONF in Martinique, who already invited me to present the project (OA4)."
