Session Topics

The topics proposed by the Scientific Committee:

  • Avifauna of the arid-steppe environments of the Mediterranean: focus on studies concerning species of arid-steppe environments; behavior, reproductive biology and effects of climate change on population dynamics;
  • Global changes and emerging threats: studies on the effects of climate change, land use, spread of invasive alien species, urbanisation and sound/light/chemical pollution on bird communities;
  • Migration: migration ecology, use of stopovers and wintering sites, with reference to flight dynamics, migration ecophysiology and/or ecological constraints at flyway scale;
  • Conservation evidence: scientific evidence and experiences relevant to the practical conservation of birds, with particular attention to the effects of medium-long term conservation measures;
  • Ecology and behavior of birds: eco/ethological studies on aspects concerning the life cycle of birds;
  • New tools for ornithology: studies regarding technologies recently developed to support monitoring and research on birds (e.g. passive acoustic recorders, artificial intelligence, barcoding, smartphone apps and citizen science approaches, etc.);
  • Energy Infrastructures: studies relating to the effects of the development (and its interactions) of energy infrastructures on bird populations and mitigation strategies;
  • BirdLab: Laboratory studies relating to genetics, parasitology, microbiota, contamination, etc.

This list is neither exhaustive nor definitive. The final selection of session topics will depend on the contributions received.

  • Avifauna degli ambienti arido-steppici del Mediterraneo: focus su su ricerche riguardanti specie di ambienti arido-steppici; comportamento, biologia riproduttiva ed effetti dei cambiamenti climatici sulle dinamiche di popolazione;
  • Cambiamenti globali e minacce emergenti: studi sugli effetti dei cambiamenti climatici, uso del suolo, diffusione di specie aliene invasive, urbanizzazione e inquinamento sonoro/luminoso/chimico, sulle comunità ornitiche;
  • Migrazione: ecologia del movimento e della migrazione, uso degli stopover e siti di svernamento, con riferimento alle dinamiche di volo, all’eco-fisiologia della migrazione e/o ai “constraints” ecologici a scala di flyway;
  • Conservation evidence: prove scientifiche ed esperienze rilevanti per la conservazione pratica degli uccelli, con particolare attenzione agli effetti delle misure di conservazione a medio-lungo termine;
  • Ecologia e comportamento degli uccelli: studi eco/etologici su aspetti riguardanti il ciclo vitale degli uccelli;
  • Nuovi strumenti per l’ornitologia: studi riguardanti le tecnologie recentemente sviluppate a supporto del monitoraggio e della ricerca sugli uccelli (e.g. registratori acustici passivi, intelligenza artificiale, barcoding, smartphone apps e approcci di citizen science);
  • Infrastrutture Energetiche: studi relativi agli effetti dello sviluppo (e sue interazioni) delle infrastrutture energetiche con le popolazioni di uccelli e strategie di mitigazione;
  • BirdLab: studi di laboratorio relativi a genetica, parassitologia, microbiota, contaminazione

Questo elenco non è esaustivo né definitivo. La scelta finale dei temi delle sessioni dipenderà dai contributi ricevuti.

22° Convegno Italiano di Ornitologia

The scientific programme will consist of sessions, including oral and poster presentations, symposia, and round tables, enriched by social events designed to foster networking and knowledge of the region and local groups of ornithologists and enthusiasts.
The conference will open on 8 September 2025, Monday afternoon. Invited speakers will open the four conference days, from 9 to 12 September 2025. CISO members’ assembly will be held on 12 September Friday afternoon, while the naturalistic excursion to explore Salento’s gorgeous scenery will take place on 11 September Thursday afternoon.

Il programma sarà suddiviso in sessioni scientifiche, che includono la presentazione di contributi orali e poster, simposi, e tavole rotonde, e arricchito da eventi sociali pensati per favorire il networking e la conoscenza del territorio e dei gruppi locali di ornitologi e appassionati. Il Convegno si aprirà nel pomeriggio di lunedì 8 settembre. Relatori a invito apriranno le 4 giornate congressuali successive, da martedì 9 a venerdì 12 settembre. L’assemblea dei soci CISO si terrà venerdì 12 settembre nel pomeriggio, mentre le escursioni alla scoperta del paesaggio salentino avranno luogo il pomeriggio di giovedì 11 settembre.

  • Data Management PlanThe DMP defines the common and coordinated strategy adopted in the PRIN project for the management of research products on invasive alien species following the principles of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) and Open Science. The DMP takes into account all phases of the data lifecycle to ensure that the data collected and generated during the project activities are quality controlled, documented, archived and preserved for the long term, interoperable and made accessible for reuse in other projects or research activities.

Work plan

Work Package 1 oversees the overall project management, ensuring that all work packages are aligned, deadlines are met, and resources are efficiently distributed. It provides leadership and guidance across the project.

Work Package 2 focuses on harmonizing and integrating data collection strategies, ensuring that data from various sources is compatible, standardized, and of high quality. This WP makes sure that accurate data is available for further analysis.

Work Package 3 Aims to enhance data management systems and tools, improving data storage, accessibility, and security. It ensures that data is organized effectively and that the overall data quality is maintained.

Work Package 4  is responsible for conducting pilot projects that test the strategies and tools developed in the previous work packages. These pilots will focus on validating the carbon sequestration models, testing new technologies in real-world environments, and gathering feedback for further improvements. It also aims to demonstrate the practical applicability of the developed systems in various contexts.

WP 5 works on developing and applying scenario models that simulate different carbon sequestration strategies under various environmental conditions. This WP helps in understanding the impact of different variables on the carbon sequestration process and informs decision-making for policymakers and stakeholders. It will provide forecasts and actionable insights for the long-term sustainability of the ecosystems being studied.

WP 6 focuses on the communication strategy of the project, ensuring that results are effectively shared with stakeholders, the scientific community, and the general public. This WP will handle the dissemination of findings through reports, conferences, publications, and outreach activities. It also includes managing the project’s website and social media to ensure public engagement.
