This young Tarsius (Tarsius tarsier complex) was photographed during a 10 days monitoring, following a local guide and a scientist. The day before this picture we saw individuals in this part of the fig tree. The next day we installed flashs in and outside the tree before that theses individuals start their activities in order to limit the disturbance. After a long wait this young came on the right place and i could only take few shots before they leaved the tree to hunt during the night. Highly commended at Asferico 2018.

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.

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
