Despite billions of passerines seasonally migrating during the night at high altitudes, only three bat species have been found to consistently tap into this rich prey resource. However, it remains unk...

Oui en ZRR je peux comprendre le problème à la limite mais pour les autres ? Toutes les facs du monde font ça sans problème (et ça marche). On a un Zimbra un peu modif complètement has been :( rien d'intégré pour le reste
