Nature sleeps, but we don't!New update on our #BESTbeltproject in #Lusevera: the cutting operations on the alpine meadows of Val di Musi took place: encroaching shrubs and young trees have been removed to keep this habitat open and sunny for its unique floral communities! #Riegb

Finally, our latest work about the #kleptoparasitism between the #Red_footed_falcon and the #Lesser_Kestrel has been published in the journal #Behavioral_Ecology_and_Sociobiology in the context of @lifefalkon project Link: link.springer.com/article/10.100… Michelangelo Morganti Davide Scridel

Five years ago today we lost the great man. His lifelong passion for the Scottish Highlands - especially the Cairngorms - resulted in a body of work unsurpassed in Scottish ecology. An inspirational character in his time, Adam Watson's influence is undiminished even in death.

Celebrating the end of the restoring operations on prealpine meadows for our #BESTbeltproject in Lusevera! We freed the area from encroaching shrubs and young trees to give space and sunlight to the botanical species living in this #N2000habitat. #EuropeanGreenBelt #RIEGB #Fvg

Using locations of >1800 colonies and tracks from 354 individuals, we assessed wind turbine exposure for Lesser Kestrels in EU and Africa. 26% of the EU pop has at least 1 turbine around colony. Sadly, Natura2000 fails to mitigate potential impact sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
