On October, 18 to 20, 2016 the meeting “Jornadas de
Investigación en la Red de Parques Nacionales 2016” was held in the National
Park of Tablas de Daimiel in Ciudad Real. This meeting gathered together staff from the OAPN central services,
from the different National Parks, members of the Scientific Committee of the
OAPN, and researchers that are developing projects in the National Park
Network. The results of 13 projects corresponding to the 2013 call were
presented in public talks, and there were also technical talks about programs
currently underway in the Parks Network.
Xavier
Turon gave a talk about the Metabarpark project, presenting the main findings
and highlighting the potential of the genetic information for mid- and long-
term biomonitoring of the communities.
This
meeting has been a very good occasion for sharing experiences and discussing
with colleagues and Park managers. Among the attendants were the staff from the
Atlantic Islands Park (Pepín, Mercedes, Vicente), and many other acquaintances.
It was such a pleasure to meet them all! I cannot resist mentioning also the
fine gastronomy we enjoyed and the nice visit to the Tablas de Daimiel National
Park that we did.
