Magical Realist Hauntings in Children's Everyday Encounters With Death, or, How to Believe in Impossible Things

open access: yesChildren &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern deaths have become reiterations. That is, despite exhibiting a seemingly high‐level of diversity in death's representations in everyday lives, death suffers from a particular onto‐epistemological poverty that prevents it from being imagined otherwise.

Proteomic Analysis of the Venom from the Ruby Ant Myrmica rubra and the Isolation of a Novel Insecticidal Decapeptide

open access: yesInsects, 2019
Ants are a biodiverse group of insects that have evolved toxic venom containing many undiscovered bioactive molecules. In this study, we found that the venom of the ruby ant Myrmica rubra is a rich source of peptides. LC-MS analysis revealed the presence

The mechanism underlying toxicity of a venom peptide against insects reveals how ants are master at disrupting membranes

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: Hymenopterans represent one of the most abundant groups of venomous organisms but remain little explored due to the difficult access to their venom.

Practicing Minority Representation in Multi‐Ethnic Party Systems: The Politics of Reparations for Slavery in Mauritius

open access: yesSwiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Multi‐ethnic party systems, which are mainly composed of multi‐ethnic parties, face a distinctive form of the “exclusion‐amid‐inclusion” problem. In such contexts, ethnic minorities cannot rely on their own ethnic party to represent them, and risk being represented in merely tokenistic ways by multi‐ethnic parties.

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2656-2669, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...
