The groups of animals and plant life displayed in a diorama are often referred to as habitat groups. The idea for a display of a habitat group often begins with a curator in a department of a natural history museum.

The following principles should apply to Low-Impact Whale Watching : a) Whale watching activity must allow cetaceans to continue whatever behaviour they are engaged in at the time of contact. b) The goal of whale watching should not be interaction but observation of undisturbed cetacean behaviour. When cetaceans decide to interact with whale watchers, the cetaceans should always remain in control of the situation : that is, they should be free to determine the duration and nature of any interaction. c) On a long-term basis, whale watching should not lead to changes in cetacean group behaviour or dynamics, a change in habitat use, or a decline in reproductive success. 1, record 9, English, - low%2Dimpact%20whale%20watching

Il n'existe pas d'équivalent français figé qui puisse rendre parfaitement et succinctement l'expression elliptique anglaise «low-impact whale watching». Un terme comme «observation douce», sur le modèle de «navigation douce», pourrait convenir, à condition d'éviter les risques de confusion puisque «doux» se dit de ce qui agit sans brutalité non seulement sur l'environnement, mais aussi sur l'organisme, et pourrait conférer au terme le sens d'une observation exercée dans des conditions peu exigeantes sur le plan physique, en tout confort pour les touristes par exemple. On peut aussi avoir recours à des périphrases, du type «qui ne dérange pas les baleines, qui ne porte pas atteinte aux baleines et à leur environnement naturel», «pratiquée de manière à limiter les effets néfastes sur les baleines et leur environnement», etc. Il est à noter qu'il s'agit ici de ménager les baleines elles-mêmes davantage que leur milieu naturel. 2, record 9, French, - observation%20%C3%A9cologique%20des%20baleines

Les expressions «observation de baleines à faible impact (sur l'environnement)» ou «à effets minimums (sur l'environnement)» sont mal formées : on peut avoir l'impression que les locutions adjectivales «à faible impact» et «à effets minimums» se rapportent aux baleines et non au mode d'observation. En outre, ce sont davantage les baleines elles-mêmes plutôt que leur environnement que l'on veut ménager. Il est aussi à noter qu'un «impact» ou un «effet» (qui correspondent à l'anglais «impact») peuvent être bons ou mauvais, et qu'il est donc préférable d'y adjoindre un adjectif comme «néfaste» pour bien rendre la notion. 2, record 9, French, - observation%20%C3%A9cologique%20des%20baleines

The Insect Habitat (IH) was designed to support a variety of insect species. However, during the initial flight increments, it will be dedicated to experiments using Drosophila melanogaster, or fruit flies. The Insect Habitat will enable studies of the fruit fly to learn how microgravity affects development, nervous system function, movement and behavior, growth, reproduction, aging, gene expression, mutagenesis from radiation and circadian rhythms or sleep/wake cycles. 2, record 10, English, - insect%20habitat

The IH will support single- and multi-generation experiments that have approximate external dimensions of 13.5 cm (L) x 2.25 cm (D) x 7.0 cm (H) each. The flies will live in two chevron-shaped container elements. These containers can be divided into two parts using the internal food cylinders; this yields two 55 ml containers that can support up to 100 Drosophila through to egg-laying. Alternatively, the containers can be left undivided, which yields a single 110 ml volume that supports up to 200 Drosophila. ... The two insect containers reside in the science element portion of the IH. The science element consists of two environmentally controlled "drawers." Each drawer contains a centrifuge that can provide up to 2G. Each centrifuge will hold six insect containers. Typically, one drawer will have a microgravity environment and the other drawer will have a defined gravity environment, although the precise gravity regimen for each centrifuge can be determined by the researcher. 2, record 10, English, - insect%20habitat
