Naturalist deepening

Reinforce knowledge of a taxonomic group of the students' choice

Reinforce the personal approach in the identification

The students will have to choose a taxonomic group and carry out a complete personal work on the identification of the species of this group. This work will be supervised by a tutor specialist of the group (see list of possible speakers).

During the semester, special attention will be given to the collection and sharing of naturalist data in accordance with the SINP recommendations. Students will learn to use databases such as Faune France, iNaturalist, Observado etc. on a regular basis.)

For some groups, such as flora, students will also work on the production of data control tools such as herbariums, photographic databases...

The whole work will result in a report with presentation.
