The SFB combines a unique diversity of research areas and methods to clarify the mechanisms behind magnetoreception and navigation in animals. The approach holds a lot of promise but also results in very diverse sets of data. Therefore, data management is a crucial part for the SFB and will be addressed in Inf01 by developing strategies for depositing and sharing the generated data. The aim of Inf01 is to provide an easy-to-use data management system for the researchers that facilitates cooperation within the SFB.
