We try to know which are the host plant species for the endangered grasshopper Acrostira euphorbiae in order to know if recent alterations (fires, grazing, cutting off)) in its reduced distribution area have seriously affected the feeding possibilities. We will study trophic preferences by means of microhistology of faeces in the wild and experimental feeding tests in the lab.

Mapping the distribution of the endangered Risiocnemis antoniae (Platycnemididae: Odonata) presently found in Mt. Hamiguitan Wildlife Sanctuary (newly declared UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014) will provide a vital piece of information towards its conservation. Knowing that ‘Extinction is forever' WE believed that this species is worth saving.

Tropical sea cucumbers are harvested for the "bêche-de-mer" product (dried body wall). Due to the severe lack of knowledge on the biology and ecology of many sea cucumbers, they are in a perilous state of conservation. Populations are rapidly declining worldwide, with over 70% of tropical sea cucumber fisheries deemed exploited and depleted. We wish to better understand their population dynamics and ecosystem function.
