I am very pleased that I was given the chance to present a poster with some findings from my work on the Evolutionary and Behavioural Ecology of the Saudi native fish in the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB) conference, Bangor University, UK.

#FreshwaterFishes are species that lives all, or a critical part of their life in either freshwater inland or brackish estuaries. This definition includes: all "primary" (salt intolerant or stenohaline) freshwater fish, e.g. carps, characins, cichlids; all "secondary" (salt tolerant or euryhaline) freshwater fish, e.g. salmon, eels, some rays and sawfish (elasmobranchs); some estuarine fish, e.g. archer fish and gobies; and soda and salt lake fish. This definition excludes: coral reef fish that spawn in mangroves, occasional "waif migrants" from the sea into freshwater; and fish in the sea in "freshwater lenses". It has been estimated that the total number of all fishes is 32,500 species. Considering that #freshwater may constitute less than 0.3% of available global water, it is remarkable that there are more than 15,000 freshwater fish species. While marine communities contain more species in total, freshwaters are far richer per unit volume of habitat. Here, freshwater fish species occur at one per 15 km¬≥ of water (cf. one per 100,000 km¬≥ of sea water). This reflects the productivity, physiographic diversity and geographical isolation of freshwater habitats. Comprising approximately 25% of all vertebrates, freshwater fishes are an important component of global biodiversity: https://bit.ly/3SsaYzX James Dalton Maria Ana Borges Ala Al Dwairi آلاء الدويري Maria Carreño Lindelien Isabel Wallnöfer Dr. Radhika Murti

This poor Dhofar #toad (Duttaphrynus dhufarensis) emerged just after the rain from its annual #aestivation in a dry mountain in #Makkah. It was definitely hunted by a migratory #shrike species and impaled on the pointy branch of the Maerua crassifolia tree. It was left uneaten which suggested that birds were satiated this year given the unprecedented precipitation record. #nature #behaviour #ecology #biodiversity #saudiarabia

Thanks to God, the clouded mother-of-pearl butterfly, Protogoniomorpha anacardii, was discovered as a new species for the first time in Saudi Arabia by Eisa Ali Al Faify in Jabal Fayfa, and also in Bani Malik. It was recorded in an article that I enjoyed being involved in with him.

Our continuous efforts in the Arabian Leopard project have led to an annual increase in birth rates steadily since 2020. This reflects our commitment to implementing global best practices and enhancing the natural environment in #AlUla, in alignment with #SaudiGreenInitiative. كما أسهمت الجهود المستمرة فيما يتعلق بمشروع #النمر_العربي، بارتفاع أعداد الولادات بشكل سنوي منذ إنطلاق المشروع في 2020، مما يعكس الالتزام الدقيق بتطبيق أفضل الممارسات العالمية، وتعزيز البيئة الطبيعية في #العلا بما يتماشى مع أهداف #مبادرة_السعودية_الخضراء.

1yAn interesting study. Here are a couple of photographs I took in the UAE Hajar Mountains. The fish were removed momentarily from their waterbody for photographic documentation before being returned. Male.
