As a result of our work in Antarctic and then in lab conditions we plan to obtain a set of data that can be divided into two big groups: 1) individual variability (morphological, haematologycal, biochemical, molecular biological characteristics of individual birds) and 2) family (couple) variability (time of nesting, number of eggs in a nest).
Every above listed group capable to reflect a spectrum of questions: genetic structure of populations, spatial and temporal variability of genetic structure of population, influence of environmental factors on the changes in frequencies of alleles and genotypes (1); factors of success in reproduction of birds (2). Nevertheless qualitatively higher result can be obtained upon a synthesis of these two approaches.
A connective link between the two groups of results can be formed by individual marks and genotypes of individual birds. As a result we can (or cannot) define a genetic and environmental constituents of reproductive success in birds, specify phylogenetic placement of separate species, establish a presence of certain evolutionary processes within a species. We plan to form a database containing all information obtained in different approaches concerning every individual bird. This database will serve as a basis for a formation of another database that will consist of the data of both types; individual characteristics and features of couples. An access to databases and a possibility to work with them for the stakeholders can be accomplished through Internet.
