Hello,
I'm happy to share my 2-month monitoring of
Legendrea loyezae.
This season, I've observed hundreds of specimens and many undocumented behaviours and life-cycle stages.
The PDF contains my insights and links to the relevant chapters in the 83-minute video.
Have fun!

Hi Ariel,
Thank you for this excellent compilation of your observations and the pdf summary. I know this took an immense amount of work and I look forward to continuing to study your findings on this unique ciliate. Since many observations are novel, have you thought about publishing this in an academic protistology journal?
Best wishes,
Tim
Danke Tim!
Yes, it was very intensive :)
I hope to collaborate with other researchers on it, as Im not an academic, and I dont miss those years.
Dear Ariel,
what a wonderful work!!
My great admiration.

A monumental work and a true masterpiece documenting this rarely seen and very (!) challenging species!
I really enjoyed the collaboration and my (small) contribution to this project.
Best regards, Holger
Danke Gerhard und Holger!
