Two recent studies from the Disco-Weed project demonstrate the key role of weeds in the functioning of agricultural ecosystems. They also identify the measures to be implemented to promote their presence in the plots without harming agricultural production. The Disco-Weed research project was funded by the Foundation for Research on Biodiversity (FRB) and carried out…

For half a century, the Centre d’études biologiques de Chizé (CEBC) has been interested in the ecophysiology of marine predators. La Croix
In a rapidly changing world, areas that deserve protection from current and future threats must be identified. An article published this week in the journal Nature (accompanied by a Data Paper in the journal Scientific Data) describes a new solution to this problem, using monitoring data from birds and marine mammals.
Experienced with farmers, conventional and organic, agro-ecology works, but not enough to make them take the plunge.La Croix
For the first time in 2016-17 and 2017-18, a team was able to acquire data on the feeding voyages at sea of Adélie penguins from the Cape Bienvenue colony, located 24 km east of the intensely studied Petrel Island colony.
