Abstract

Découvrir, rechercher et identifier les dendromicrohabitats portés par les arbres grâce à des photos à 360° prises en forêt: habitat.sylvotheque.ch est une plateforme informatique, disponible en français, en allemand et en anglais, pour apprendre à reconnaître les dendromicrohabitats, petits milieux de vie portés par les arbres et qui sont indispensables à des milliers d’organismes spécialisés. A l’aide de nombreux contenus multimédias sous forme d’images, de vidéos et de textes, l’utilisateur est mis au défi par quatre modes d’apprentissage interactifs à difficulté croissante. Le site, riche en informations, s’adresse autant au débutant qu’au fin connaisseur des arbres-habitats.

Organism

An organism () is any biological living system that functions as an individual life form. All organisms are composed of cells (cell theory). The idea of organism is based on the concept of minimal functional unit of life. Three traits have been proposed to play the main role in qualification as an organism: noncompartmentability – structure that cannot be divided without its functionality loss, individuality – the entity has simultaneous holding of genetic uniqueness, genetic homogeneity and autonomy, distinctness – genetic information has to maintain open-system (a cell).

Colony (biology)

In biology, a colony is composed of two or more conspecific individuals living in close association with, or connected to, one another. This association is usually for mutual benefit such as stronger defense or the ability to attack bigger prey. Colonies can form in various shapes and ways depending on the organism involved. For instance, the bacterial colony is a cluster of identical cells (clones). These colonies often form and grow on the surface of (or within) a solid medium, usually derived from a single parent cell.

Habitat destruction

Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby reducing biodiversity and species abundance. Habitat destruction is the leading cause of biodiversity loss. Fragmentation and loss of habitat have become one of the most important topics of research in ecology as they are major threats to the survival of endangered species.
