Honey bee (Apis mellifera) - Microchips are used by researchers to mark the bees and identify them with a scanner at the entrance to the hive or near the nurse bees. In that way, it is possible to monitor the bees' activities on an individual level. The times they go out, etc… Research Center HOBOS, Würzburg, Germany.

A common loon is released after biologists have taken blood samples for mercury analysis and have banded the bird. The banding of loons provides a reliable field method to re-observe individuals over many years and to track whether or not they are returning to their breeding lakes each summer. Additionally, banded loons are occasionally encountered alive or deceased on their non-breeding areas. A recovered banded loon provides important information on that individual’s or possibly, an entire breeding population’s wintering range. La Mauricie national park. Quebec. Canada

A few years ago, I and wildlife biologist Denis Masse, today retired, went on one of the 150 lakes of La Mauricie national park. Mr Masse worked for the park's conservation service and wanted to verify whether a pair of common loons has used one of the nesting rafts built here. These rafts are never submerged by water and they allow the loons to carry out the incubation of the eggs even if the water level rises on the lake during heavy rains. La Mauricie national park, Quebec. Canada
