Introduction: Travelers have poorer health than the general population due to more precarious living conditions. In France, there are no epidemiological studies on Travelers, accentuating their invisibility in public health policy and planning. Discrimination against them, their distrust of the state and institutions, and their non-prioritization of health were the reasons for a participatory research project on Travelers’ health status.

The CBC setup is designed to minimize the telecom signal degradation, with a polarization beam splitter used to minimize the power fluctuations and to control the output polarization state of the beam. The system delivers 80 W output power and is proven to be compatible with 25 Gb/s telecom signals with a less than 1 dB power penalty.

A phasing sensor applying a wavelength sweep technique provides a large capture range without modulating the position of individual mirror segments. This technique offers the potential to monitor the phasing state of a segmented telescope in parallel to the science observations.

However, whether these associations are conserved on the coral phylogeny remains unknown. Here we aim to characterise Symbiodiniaceae communities in eight closely-related species in the genera , and and determine if the variation in endosymbiont community structure can be explained by the phylogenetic relatedness among hosts.
