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

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.

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.

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.
