Am I the only one who sees a dragon on 2 legs that breathes fire?
Sorry for the unscientific and off topic message but I couldn't help myself 😅

In line with the niche partitioning hypothesis, we showed that the three falcon species slightly partitioned their foraging and trophic niches, probably playing a key role in making syntopic coexistence in the Po Plain (Italy) possible.

To celebrate 30 years of AEWA, we created a video showing the migration tracks of waterbirds GPS-tagged in Italy.

Tracking data and teamwork once again show their value for wildlife conservation.

Our study led by Timothée Poupartand and Thibaut Bettignies reveals mismatches between the Natura2000 marine network and seabird distributions, urging for better protected areas off France

A new study (link.springer.com/article/10.1...) compares the diets of Scopoli’s and Yelkouan shearwaters.

Despite a wide diet, a few pelagic fish species stood out.

Protection of spawning areas and selective fishing are needed for shearwaters and fisheries to co-exist in the region.

Galápagos giant tortoises take their time when it comes to love— mating lasts around 2 hours! 🐢💞

But in the world of tortoises, everything moves at a slow.

Despite soaring over the ocean for days in search of food, 60% of the Galapagos petrel (CR) population nests here, in the forests of Cerro Pajas, Floreana.

An incredible experience from a great collaborative effort led by #FundacionJocotoco and #OrnisItalica.

Local abundance of the declining skylark responds to different habitat and management variables at specific spatial scales, as revealed by our new work

Remote sensing reveals scale‐specific effects of forage crop mowing and landscape structure on a declining farmland bird

We provide a new perspective on the overarching influence of spatial scale in driving the abundance of a declining farmland bird species, supporting the urgency of designing landscape scale-effective...
