After 40+ years of fieldwork, i feel to be very useful helping students in the wild, as when I started with my mentors in 1984. The passing of knowledge is the most important in research. And AI does not replace that.

I complete. The climber is Benoit Bouton, a professional who is also a competitor. At the time the photo was taken, we were installing camtraps in many canopy Virola trees. The photo shooting has been financed by Hevea Élagage Inc. our partnair, with support from The Petzl Fundation.

We have more stories to report on the pros and cons of using camtraps, especially in the canopy, up to 45-50 m in Guyane, and about the use of AI. Now, we are developing citizen science to help us and to test AI with Human Intelligence! Security when climbing trees is also an important topic.

Space for both. The photo used by Nature is from our camera trap program that was launched with student Opale Coutant who then analysed data. We now train students to climb, to set camtraps. Fieldwork is key to understand what they will see on screen. IA is then useful to deal with tons of images.

Woaw. Thanks for the note. I was in that tree (Virola kwatae, Myristicaceae) when this picture (and any others) was taken by Philippe Psaila. synops-editions.fr/EXPOZ/Guyane...

Une précision : le mercure est stocké dans les sols sous une forme non assimilable. Remis en solution, cela devient du methylmercure qui est assimilable et se concentre dans les animaux de la chaine alimentaire, notamment dans les super prédateurs, puis l’homme.
