Brûleurs de routes, brûleurs d’âges : la mue selon Boualem Sansal [PDF]
Le risque appartient à la condition humaine et, en particulier, à cet état d’éveil au monde qu’est l’adolescence, âge non plus seulement de passage mais de participation active dans son propre temps.

Postembryonic development of the predatory strike mechanics in a praying mantis (Insecta: Mantodea)
Praying mantis forelegs capture prey using specific kinematic and kinetic traits that change in size and morphology during postembryonic growth and sexual dimorphism influences these dynamics. Strike forces grow hyperallometrically with body weight; larger mantises show longer strike durations, slower joint angular velocities and increased tibia ...

Demand Analysis of Termite Control Service in Jakarta
Termite is an economically important pest species in the pest control industry and considered as one of the urban pests. Although it had caused a great loss, only a few studies on termite control demand were found.

Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Ecological studies on the symbiosis of termitomyces heim with Nigerian macrotermitinae [PDF]
PhDThe relationship between termites of the sub-family Macrotermitinae and the symbiotic Basidiomycete fungus Termitomyces was investigated. Fieldwork was carried out on several termite species at Mokwa in the Southern Guinea savanna vegetation zone ...

Feature-preserving synthesis of termite-mimetic spinodal nest morphology
Summary: Termite-built topology is complex due to group interactions and environmental feedback. Being interlinked with material characteristics and related to functionality, an accurate synthesis of termite mound topology has never been achieved.

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?
Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...
