Out now in ‘Evolutionary applications’, the last chapter of Anna’s PhD thesis, in which she used whole genome sequencing data of contemporary and historic European gull-billed terns to assess whether the population decline in part of their range has had genetic consequences: doi.org/10.1111/eva....

I’ve attended many ornithological congress but I’ve never seen a poster like this, made by the Japanese designer Ryohei Kojima in 1986 for the International Council of Bird Preservation

These nice pieces of art were made in 2017 by Kazumasa Nagai when he was 88 years old

Oh wow! It is full of beautiful stuffed animals 😍
Thank you!

The stuffed pterosaur is super cool. Where did you buy it? Do you know if it is possible to order it by internet. I would like to give it to my son (and myself 😬) for Christmas

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

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.
