Dans cet article, nous nous intéressons aux frictions qui ont accompagné l’atterrissage du câble PEACE MED (Pakistan and East Africa Connecting Europe - Mediterranean section) en 2021 à Marseille. Plutôt que d’exclure le câble des zones de protection de la nature, les études d’incidence ont conseillé de les traverser, mettant en avant la possibilit...
Preprint of a programmatic article on the governance and ecology of digital knowledge infrastructures stemming from a year of seminars and workshops led between September 2021 and June 2022 at the Laboratory for the history of science and technology (LHST) of the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL, Switzerland) while Pierre Mounier (EHE...

The article provides an analytical overview of energy savings by switching to LED lighting. The effectiveness of using LED lighting in terms of fire safety in everyday life and financial savings has been proven. A mathematical calculation of the return on investment when replacing fluorescent lamps with LED lighting is presented. Rates of world pro...

Plants adapted to challenging environments offer fascinating models of evolutionary change. Importantly, they also give information to meet our pressing need to develop resilient, low-input crops. With mounting environmental fluctuation-including temperature, rainfall, and soil salinity and degradation-this is more urgent than ever. Happily, soluti...

Anurans (frogs and toads) are an ecologically diverse group of vertebrate organisms that display a myriad of reproductive modes and life history traits. To persist in such an expansive array of habitats, these organisms have evolved specialized skin that is used for respiration while also protecting against moisture loss, pathogens, and environment...

You might have heard that looking at bright lights like TVs and phones at night can affect your sleep and be bad for your health. But did you know that lights at night are also bad for animals and plants in nature? Human-made light that reaches the environment at night is called light pollution. Lights at night often kill many insects, baby sea tur...

Exponentially growing publication rates are increasingly problematic for interdisciplinary fields like Critical Zone (CZ) science. How does one “keep up” across different, but related fields with unique hypotheses, field techniques, and models? By surveying CZ academics in the Western US, a region with substantial CZ research, we document the chall...
Following decades of intensive study, Anolis lizards have emerged as a biological model system. We review how new research on anoles has advanced our understanding of ecology and evolution, challenging long-standing paradigms and opening new areas of inquiry. Recent anole research reveals how changes in behavior can restructure ecological communiti...
