Nobles et habitat fortifié en Bourgogne en 1474
2010
Mouillebouche Hervé; International audience; En croisant, avec prudence, les données de la grande enquête des fiefs de 1474 avec l'inventaire de l'habitat fortifié en Bourgogne, on peut constater que près d'un noble sur deux ne possède aucun habitat fortifié. Les plus riches, ceux qui détiennent des fiefs dont le revenu annuel dépasse 200 livres, sont presque tous détenteurs de châteaux. Les plus pauvres, dont le fief représente une rente inférieure à 40 livres, peinent à entretenir une maison forte. Mais l'enquête de 1474 montre surtout que la notion de fief et de valeur du fief est de plus en plus obsolète dans un monde travaillé par la rente, et que l'habitat fortifié est de plus en plus…

Identification, cloning and environmental factors modulation of a αβ defensin from the lessepsian invasive mussel Brachidontes pharaonis (Bivalvia: M…
2015
International audience; Immunological effectors of invasive species playing a role in addressing new colonization are still poorly studied. In the present study the cDNA sequence of the defensin from a Lessepsian invasive species, the Red Sea mussel Brachidontes pharaonis, was cloned using RACE method. Defensins are a class of widely known antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), oligopeptides with a broad spectrum of targeted organisms ranging from viruses to parasites. Analysis of BpDef sequence (262 bp) revealed the presence of an ORF coding for 81 amino acids. The full-length amino acid sequence showed the highest similarity to antimicrobial peptides MGD1 and MGD2 sequence from Mytilus galloprovi…
Short-term occupations at high elevation during the Middle Paleolithic at Kalavan 2 (Republic of Armenia).
2021
The Armenian highlands encompasses rugged and environmentally diverse landscapes and is characterized by a mosaic of distinct ecological niches and large temperature gradients. Strong seasonal fluctuations in resource availability along topographic gradients likely prompted Pleistocene hominin groups to adapt by adjusting their mobility strategies. However, the role that elevated landscapes played in hunter-gatherer settlement systems during the Late Pleistocene (Middle Palaeolithic [MP]) remains poorly understood. At 1640 m above sea level, the MP site of Kalavan 2 (Armenia) is ideally positioned for testing hypotheses involving elevation-dependent seasonal mobility and subsistence strateg…
Chapter 24. Lesser kestrel Falco naumanni
2021
The lesser kestrel is a small colonial falcon with a broad breeding distribution range, extending from the Iberian Peninsula to eastern China. Most of the biological and ecological knowledge concerning this species, including migration, has been obtained from European populations. After the end of each breeding season, these populations move preferentially northward, showing pre-migratory movements (of 100–1,000 km) that are necessary to reach rich foraging grounds where they can fuel before commencing the true migration towards Africa. European lesser kestrels migrate on a broad front across the Mediterranean Sea. There is a strong connectivity between European breeding and African non-bre…
Climate and land-use changes as determinants of lesser kestrel Falco naumanni abundance in Mediterranean cereal steppes (Sicily)
2010
Monitoring of lesser kestrels Falco naumanni is necessary to promote conservation of this vulnerable species. To this end, 35 colonies of this species located in the NNW and SE of Sicily were monitored from 2003 to 2009. Counts of the active colonies and resident pairs were modelled by loglinear Poisson regressions to assess population trends over the study period. Afterwards, a GLM with an analysis of covariance design and a backward removal stepwise regression was performed to relate the observed trend to local- or global-scale climatic variation and to local land-use changes. Colony counts provided a better fit to the loglinear models than pair counts. Loglinear models separated the incr…

C'è dell'ananas nel vino? Descrizioni enologiche tra parassitaggio e modulazione pragmatica
2019
In questo articolo analizzeremo lo statuto semiotico-cognitivo dei descrittori dei vini comunemente utilizzati per asserire che un determinato vino ha sentore di frutta. Infatti, una delle caratteristiche più evidenti del lessico usato oggi per parlare del vino è la sua parentela con il lessico della frutta. Mostreremo come questa parentela tra lessico enologico e lessico della frutta si basi su un processo di dipendenza e non sia un generico fenomeno di prestito linguistico. Si tratta, infatti di un processo parassitario che trasforma il lessico della frutta da lessico asistematico con funzione denotativa – per cui con il termine “ananas” intendiamo riferirci agli ananas nel mondo – in un …
