The Origin of Jawed Vertebrates and the Evolution of Morphology in Deep Time (JAWEVOL)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
Jawed vertebrates account for more than 99% of modern vertebrate diversity. Collectively, they comprise chondrichthyans (sharks, rays, and chimaeras) and osteichthyans (bony fishes and terrestrial vertebrates, including humans). The anatomy of jawed vertebrates includes a series of complex traits such as jaws, teeth, paired appendages, and novel skeletal tissues such as bone. In spite of the inten ...

Coordination and Collaboration between reference collections of plant pests and diseases for EU Plant Health Policy (Q-COLLECT)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
International trade is increasing tremendously in recent years with a lot of import and export material going in and out of the European Union. Within this context there is also the increasing risk of importing unwanted organisms via this trade. Organisms include plant pests and pathogens, some of which may be on the quarantine list of the European Union. Also climate change may increase the abili ...

Status and Trends of European Pollinators (STEP)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2015,
Pollinators form a key component of European biodiversity, and provide vital ecosystem services to crops and wild plants. There is growing evidence of declines in both wild and domesticated pollinators, and parallel declines in plants relying upon them. STEP will document the nature and extent of these declines, examine functional traits associated with particular risk, develop a Red List of some ...

Opening up the Natural History Heritage for Europeana (OpenUp!)
Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2014,
European natural history collections manage and give access to over 1.5 bn objects from the world's biodiversity heritage, covering most of the species described worldwide. These are reference objects for all the common and famous species in the world, incl. those of high economic importance and even those that have already gone extinct. Many have great cultural value as they were collected during ...

Cenozoic evolution of the Indonesian Throughflow and the origins of Indo-Pacific marine biodiversity: Mapping the biotic response to environmental change (THROUGHFLOW)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
A critical agenda for earth and life sciences is to determine how diverse tropical marine ecosystems such as coral reefs will respond to global environmental change. This will require long-term environmental and ecological data that rarely exist for living coral reefs. In contrast, the fossil record provides abundant examples that can be mined to predict future outcomes. The THROUGHFLOW network wi ...

Conservation Genetic Resources for Effective Species Survival (CONGRESS)
Date du début: 1 mai 2010, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2013,
Genetic biodiversity is recognised by the Convention on Biological Diversity and the EC Biodiversity Strategy as one of three essential elements of living diversity, yet it is poorly represented at the policy level, compared to the two other components, species and ecosystems. The CONGRESS consortium aims to rectify this situation by delivering dissemination tools which policy makers and conservat ...
