Objectives
Strengthen knowledge of a taxonomic group chosen by students
Strengthening the personal approach to identification
Students will be required to choose a taxonomic group and carry out a comprehensive individual project on the identification of species within that group. This project will be supervised by a tutor who is a specialist in the group (see list of possible supervisors).
During the semester, particular attention will be given to collecting and sharing naturalist data in accordance with SINP recommendations. Students will learn how to regularly use databases such as Faune France, iNaturalist, Observado, etc.
For certain groups, such as flora, students will also work on producing data control tools such as herbariums, photographic databases, etc.
The entire project will result in a report with a presentation.
