ETHICAL ISSUES IN RECRUITMENT AND CONDUCTING RESEARCH DURING OUTBREAKS IN RESOURCE LIMITED SETTING
REFNo: SS883ES
1. To determine community voluntariness, understanding and preparedness to participate in research during life threatening infectious disease outbreaks.
2. To explore the perceptions of investigators and policy makers regarding the conduct of research during outbreaks of life threatening diseases in a resource limited setting. Investigators and policy makers play a critical role in setting and driving the research agenda.
3. To examine the ethical issues raised by members of research ethics committees regarding enrollment of participants in research during epidemic situations and the application of alternative designs.
4. To develop a short course on ‘‘Ethical issues in research during epidemics in a resource limited settingâ€. This will be based on findings from community, investigators and policy maker interactions and extensive review of the literature.

Trade-off between species recognition and individual discrimination in tropical Turtur doves
REFNo: NS256ES
Song is a fundamental signal associated with sexual selection in birds. The processes that allow for species
recognition as well as for individual recognition are inextricably linked and prerequisite for subsequent
decisions about strategy of territory defence and mate choice. The two mentioned functions are somewhat
contradictory, as species recognition needs the uniform feature of a song within a species, whereas
individual recognition is only possible if individuals within a species are somehow acoustically
different. This may lead to conflicting selection pressures that are dependent on the chance of mistaken
species recognition and the importance of individual recognition. The problem that we want to deal with in
this project is the evolutionary compromise between species specific uniformity and individual-specificity of
acoustic signals produced in a sexual selection context. Our model system, the dove species from the Turtur
genus inhabit forest-woodland-savanna habitats in Sub-Saharan Africa. Firstly, we want to describe the
advertisement song variation among and within all Turtur species, in order to identify species and
individually specific song features. Second, we want to experimentally test how birds respond to songs of
the same species and different species in populations occurring allopatrically and sympatrically; and if birds
can discriminate between neighbours and strangers and how similar, co-existing species affect this process.
We plan to use molecular methods to confirm phylogenetic relatedness among the five species and analyse
the genetic structure of same- and different-species populations living in sympatry and allopatry.
