The lines of research of the Group of Evolutionary and Behavioural Ecology of the Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona are developing in the form of projects of specific research. Below is a list of various projects in which they are involved, together with the funding associations. In the same way, for each project, there are bibliographies of three sample studies, as well as the doctorate, post-doctorate or adjunct researchers assigned.
