Description
Learn about the difficulties and constraints of certain taxonomic groups and identification methods & develop a personal approach to identification.
The teaching is presented in the form of 3 sequences. Each sequence is open to continuing education. The order of the sequences can be modified according to the availability of competent external speakers on the taxonomic groups.
For each of the taxonomic groups, the following will be discussed: the phylogeny of the group; generalities on the morphology and ecology of the group; classical methods of monitoring and inventory applied to the group; a focus on the species at stake in conservation; and finally, the notion of identification and focus on some difficult pairs or complexes of species.
Sequence 1 : Chiropterans
use of determination software and automatic recorders
2 sessions of 3 hours
Sequence 2: Mammals
Focus on small mammals with determination of materials from trapping and raptor pellets, use of photographic traps, footprints and proofs
3 sessions of 3 hours
Sequence 3 : Birds
Visual determination from naturalized specimens, acoustic determination
2 sessions of 3 hours
Necessary pre-requisites
- The UE is reserved for students of the licence Pro EDEN who have a basis in identification for at least one of the groups approached in the UE.
