Classic anthropological accounts of miniature objects have focused on their spatial and aesthetic dimensions, with more recent work addressing their communicative potential, connections with play, and role in protecting threatened cultural knowledge. This article analyses responses to a miniature landscape model of yhyakh, a festival celebrated in the ...

Orchids in the Open: Understanding Biodiversity Beyond Madagascar's Forests
ABSTRACT Aim Orchids make up 8% of Madagascar's vascular plant species richness and are typically associated with the island's forests. Yet most of the island is covered by open ecosystems, long dismissed as degraded. This perception has contributed to their neglect, limiting our understanding of species ecology and hindering conservation action in ...

Plant conservation in a changing Mediterranean world
The Mediterranean is one of five climatic regions on the planet characterised by a prolonged summer drought, exceptional plant diversity and high rates of endemism. We provide a framework to link the ecology of plant species conservation in the context of rapid and extreme climate deregulation to a philosophical typology of temporal attitudes (i.e ...

Du sens du lieu au sentiment d'appartenance
Résumé Malgré qu'on s'intéresse de plus en plus au sens du lieu, il demeure insuffisamment compris dans sa complexité. Le sens d'un lieu varie en effet selon la nature et la portée de nos rapports et interprétations, et donc selon ses fonctions identitaires et nos sentiments à son endroit.

Abstract Modern longitudinal data from wearable devices consist of biological signals at high‐frequency time points. Distributed statistical methods have emerged as a powerful tool to overcome the computational burden of estimation and inference with large data, but methodology for distributed functional regression remains limited.

Using retail price data for 51 food items from The Northern, the sole grocery store in Fox Lake, and Statistics ...

Physiological roles of lignins – tuning cell wall hygroscopy and biomechanics
Summary Lignins constitute the second most abundant carbon‐storing biopolymers in the biosphere. These phenolic polymers accumulate in different concentrations, compositions, and localisations within and between cell wall layers and cell types. Lignins were acquired during plant terrestrialisation 450 million years ago, and the diversification of their

We show that Arctic and red fox space use significantly affects goose nest habitat selection and nest success in a low‐Arctic tundra ecosystem. However, the impact of fox predation depended on the location and timing of incubation of the nest, demonstrating the importance of incorporating time into the ‘landscape of fear’ concept.

Variations spatio-temporelles de l'ichtyofaune de platiers récifaux à La Réunion
Les 169 espèces du peuplement ichtyologique total recensé en 1989 et 1990 sur deux platiers récifaux de St-Leu (île de La Réunion) se structurent en trois grands peuplements, corrélés à la morphologie récifale et à l’agitation du milieu, qui sont les peuplements de poissons des zones internes, médiane et externe.
