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

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.

At the 2024 Movecolab.it meeting #DonJean-LéandriBreton presented his in-progress work on migratory beahaviour of kittiwakes breeding on Middleton, in the Alaska gulf.
In winter, individuals that migrate less fed on poorer-quality food but arrived earlier at the breeding site in spring

At the 2024 Movecolab.it meeting @ecotos.bsky.social presented his PhD project on #plastic ingestion in Mediterranean shearwaters.
Plastic has been found in 16 out of the 18 Scopoli's shearwaters (dead for bycatch) checked last week.
Great collaboration with Susanne Kuehn and Jan van Franeker

How can we study the movements of a species so small that it cannot be ringed, tagged, or counted at bottle neks?
