La terre : un bien hors du commun. De l'utopie à la révolution foncière
2018
International audience; La terre manque toujours cruellement d'un droit à sa démesure. Indispensable à la plupart des activités humaines, cette ressource naturelle est saisie par un ensemble disparate de règles au prix, trop souvent, d'une négation de ses qualités. « À vouloir "forcer" la terre, écrivait Pisani, nous prenons, en effet, le risque de la voir se dérober »2.

Global urban environmental change drives adaptation in white clover
2022
Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:52:06Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-03-18 Urbanization transforms environments in ways that alter biological evolution. We examined whether urban environmental change drives parallel evolution by sampling 110,019 white clover plants from 6169 populations in 160 cities globally. Plants were assayed for a Mendelian antiherbivore defense that also affects tolerance to abiotic stressors. Urban-rural gradients were associated with the evolution of clines in defense in 47% of cities throughout the world. Variation in the strength of clines was explained by environmental changes in drought stress and vegetation cover that varied am…
