To try to defend the colony from this incessant predation, the bees fight back by forming a cluster on the flight board. They thus save a few foraging bees returning after gathering nectar and pollen from the flowers. France

Apidologie - Bees in a flight tunnel. This procedure was used to show that the evaluation of distance by bees proceeds from their visual system. And through the white and black stripes, its has been shown that it also depends on the landscape's structure. This experiment was carried out by then calculating the length of the bees's dance in relation to the food source of which the distance was identified. /

Apidologie - A bee in front of an odor gun. This technique allows for an association between an odor and a sugary reward. A sweet solution is applied to the antennas and the bee stretches out its proboscis, its little trunk. This odor-reflex association has brought to light the bees' capacity to remember odors and the time necessary to acquire olfactory memory. But also more complex learning: for example, an odor A is associated with a sugary solution and an odor B is not. Then, shortly after, it is reversed: the odor A is no longer associated with sugar but the odor B is. Result: the bee is capable of replacing the first signal by the new one.

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.

Visualization flow of water in a sponge - Aquarius Reef Base ; Fluorescein dye is used to visualize how water is absorbed at the outside and then exhausted by a sponge.The Caribbean barrel sponge, Xestospongia muta, is a large and common member of the coral reef communities at depths greater than 10 m, and has been called the “redwood of the deep”, due to its up to 2000 year lifespan as well as its size and color. Despite its prominence, high biomass and importance to habitat complexity and reef health, very little is know about the basic biology of this massive sponge, including rates of mortality and recruitment, reproduction, growth and age. Like reef corals, this sponge is subject to bleaching and subsequent mortality.
With support from NOAA's Aquarius Reef Base at UNCW, NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program, and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, a research group has been monitoring populations of X. muta in the Florida Keys since 1997.

Some ten statue-menhirs can be seen in two alignments, on which reliefs (swords, belts, loincloths, faces, arms and hands) can be distinguished.

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.
