Call for Collaboration: Unpublished Data on Birds of Prey Color Polymorphism

Dear EvolDir community members,

We are reaching out to invite you to participate in a project focused
on a systematic review and meta-analysis of color polymorphism in birds
of prey. We are seeking collaborators who can share unpublished data on
the distribution and frequency of color morphs in natural populations
of birds of prey.

The goal is to expand the existing dataset, which currently includes
data from published peer-reviewed articles and publicly accessible
datasets. The data you contribute should meet the following criteria:
1. Unpublished Data: The data must be unpublished and not yet publicly
   available or published in non-indexed outputs such as preprints, pre-
   registrations, etc.

2. Morph Distribution: It should contain information about the
   presence(and if available abundance/frequency) of different morphs
   within populations.

3. Trait Association: The data may include information on the
   relationship between specific morphs and individual traits. The list
   of traits is open but may include factors such as life history
   success, overall condition, fitness, immune response, foraging
   effectiveness, gene expression, behavior, and more. However, data
   concerning exclusively morph distribution/abundance/frequency also
   will be valuable and hence additional traits are optional.

Researchers who contribute suitable data will be offered co-authorship
on any resulting research papers.

If you are interested in contributing to this project, please contact
me at: pawel.podkowa@uj.edu.pl

Thank you for considering this opportunity.
