The Origins of Self
The Origins of Self explores the role that selfhood plays in defining human society, and each human individual in that society. It considers the genetic and cultural origins of self, the role that self plays in socialisation and language, and the types of self we generate in our individual journeys to and through adulthood. Edwardes argues that other awareness is a relatively early evolutionary development, present throughout the primate clade and perhaps beyond, but self-awareness is a product of the sharing of social models, something only humans appear to do. The self of which we are aware is not something innate within us, it is a model of our self produced as a response to the models of us offered to us by other people. Edwardes proposes that human construction of selfhood involves seven different types of self. All but one of them are internally generated models, and the only non-model, the actual self, is completely hidden from conscious awareness. We rely on others to tell us about our self, and even to let us know we are a self.
A Next-Generation of Biomonitoring to Detect Global Ecosystem Change
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
Genetic Structure and Selection in Subdivided Populations (MPB-40)
Various approaches have been developed to evaluate the consequences of spatial structure on evolution in subdivided populations. This book is both a review and new synthesis of several of these approaches, based on the theory of spatial genetic structure. François Rousset examines Sewall Wright's methods of analysis based on F-statistics, effective size, and diffusion approximation; coalescent arguments; William Hamilton's inclusive fitness theory; and approaches rooted in game theory and adaptive dynamics. Setting these in a framework that reveals their common features, he demonstrates how efficient tools developed within one approach can be applied to the others. Rousset not only revisits classical models but also presents new analyses of more recent topics, such as effective size in metapopulations. The book, most of which does not require fluency in advanced mathematics, includes a self-contained exposition of less easily accessible results. It is intended for advanced graduate students and researchers in evolutionary ecology and population genetics, and will also interest applied mathematicians working in probability theory as well as statisticians.

Climate Change and Agriculture Worldwide
In recent years, especially with the approach of the 21st Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris in late 2015, the number of publications, conferences and meetings on climate change has been growing exponentially. Yet uncertainties remain concerning rural tropical areas where models are forecasting the onset of multiple disorders and trends are unclear. Meanwhile, the impact of climate change on the poorest communities is regularly documented, often prompting alarmist reactions. How can food security be achieved while adapting to and mitigating climate change? What are the main threats to agriculture in developing countr...

Pesticides
Depuis soixante ans, les dangers des pesticides pour la biodiversité et la santé sont avérés. Alors pourquoi notre modèle agricole et alimentaire reste-t-il toujours dopé aux pesticides ? Les Monsanto Papers l’ont montré, les lobbyistes du secteur entretiennent savamment le doute quant à la gravité de leurs impacts environnementaux et sanitaires. Mais l’influence des industriels n’est que la face émergée d’une machinerie plus vaste de production de l’ignorance, reposant moins sur la manipulation que sur un déni collectif favorisé par les protocoles officiels de l’évaluation des risques. Face à l’ampleur des données et des dangers potentiels, il devient plus conf...
Changement climatique et agricultures du monde
Comment satisfaire la sécurité alimentaire tout en s’adaptant au changement climatique et en l’atténuant ? Quelles sont les principales menaces pesant sur les agricultures du Sud ? Comment les agriculteurs du Sud répondent-ils à ces menaces ? Quelles sont les propositions de la recherche agronomique ? Quelles sont les voies encore inexplorées ? Pour répondre à ces questions, cet ouvrage présente une synthèse d’une vingtaine de recherches conduites dans divers pays et qui concernent toute la planète.
