The 16th edition of Ecology & Behaviour is now over😢Thank you all for coming! It's been such an incredible week! 😍Thank you all for your kindness, curiosity and good mood! See you soon for the next edition 😉 Stay tuned to find out where it will take place🔎
#ecobhrv2024#Populationdynamics We are now travelling to Morocco with Haytem Bouchri from @TourduValat who's sharing his PhD work on the estimation of population abundance of the Marbled Teal🦆
🆘We need YOU🆘
This year we made a special effort to ring many #WhiteStork juveniles and now we need to know where they are!
So we are kindly asking birdwatchers in Portugal, Spain and Morocco to please send us your observations of White Storks with blue rings and a + sign!🙌
A lion was seen in the Atlas Mountains during a flight on the Casablanca-Dakar air route. The photograph, taken by Marcelin Flandrin in 1925, is the last visual record of a wild "Barbary" lion of North Africa.
To clarify, the Barbary lion is not completely extinct but is extinct in the wild. It is reported that there are fewer than 90 of them in captivity worldwide. They are part of a global breeding program aimed at helping to revive the population.
For the #WorldMigratoryBirdDay I'm sharing this beautiful European Turtle dove picture I took in Morocco last year. Turtle doves are vulnerable, and face many threats such us foraging and nestling areas loss, diseases, and hunting while on their migration routes.#birdlife#GREPOM
@la_salmas @ibn_tachfin@Rabatzoo Est ce vraiment le cas? Est ce que je peux avoir plus d'informations sur cette étude si c'est possible ? Par ce que ça m'intéresse beaucoup et merci :).

- One of the most beautiful species of butterflies I have ever seen.
Peacock butterflies can be easily identified by their red wings, each with a single large peacock feather like eyespot on their upper wings that they use as a defense mechanism to scare predators.🦋
