Throughout the nineteenth century, swarms of locusts regularly swept across the continent, turning noon into dusk, demolishing farm communities, and bringing trains to a halt as the crushed bodies of insects greased the rails. In 1876, the U.S. Congress declared the locust "the single greatest impediment to the settlement of the country." From the Dakotas to Texas, from California to Iowa, the swarms pushed thousands of settlers to the brink of starvation, prompting the federal government to enlist some of the greatest scientific minds of the day and thereby jumpstarting the fledgling science of entomology. Over the next few decades, the Rocky Mountain locust suddenly -- and mysteriously -- ...

Des naturalistes de A à Z - Les spécialistes du vivant dans son environnement
Darwin, Jussieu, Linné, Monod, Pavlov et plus de 1 340 autres naturalistes ayant mis leur empreinte indélébile sur l’histoire et l’actualité des sciences de la vie trouvent leur place dans ce livre. De l’Antiquité à nos jours, celles et ceux qui ont joué un rôle majeur dans la construction de la biologie contemporaine ont travaillé pour eux-mêmes ou au sein de réseaux académiques. Explorateurs, éthologistes, évolutionnistes, généticiens, écologistes, sont ici présentés dans les principaux faits qui ont jalonné leur vie et leur oeuvre. Ce livre n’est pas réservé aux spécialistes, mais se veut accessible à tous grâce aux nombreuses définitions des termes techniques et des théories présentées. Il cherche à restituer des contextes ayant permis des découvertes souvent étonnantes, des idées parfois erronées, et toujours des faits marquants liés à une histoire politique, sociale ou religieuse caractéristique de leur époque.
