A single Eastern Reef Heron subject Egretta gularis, dark form, a taxon rarely observed in Italy, can be observed regularly since the year 2003 within the Isonzo River - Mouth Nature Reserve (Gorizia - Italy). Data collected show that the dark plumage is advantageous in the capture of prey in shaded sites and that it is less attractive and threatening in relation to the other white Little Egrets.

PlumX Metrics provide insights into the ways people interact with individual pieces of research output (articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and many more) in the online environment. Collectively known as PlumX Metrics, these metrics are divided into five categories to help make sense of the huge amounts of data involved and to enable analysis by comparing like with like.
