This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the principles, methods and applications of chemical ecology, covering such topics as chemical signalling, predator–prey interactions, host plant selection and chemical defence. The book takes the reader through the historical development of the discipline to current state-of-the-art research, delving into recent findings on the role of chemical ecology in conservation and management and exploring how the field may contribute to future innovations in ecological science. A chapter is dedicated to the techniques that have been used in chemical ecology and some success stories. Chemical Ecology: Insect-Plant Interactions is an important resource for advanced undergraduates and postgraduate researchers as well as practitioners in this interdisciplinary field. The book’s layout aligns with the curriculum of chemical-ecology-related disciplines, progressing from basic fundamental principles to a more advanced level. Those studying and researching in ecology, entomology, plant biology and biochemistry will find it invaluable as well as those practising in areas such as agriculture, forestry and pest management.
Le confucianisme a traversé deux millénaires d'une histoire qui lui fit souvent violence.Résistant aux pressions du Premier empereur de Chine, à la rivalité taoïste, à l'invasion du bouddhisme, au positivisme occidental et, naguère, au maoïsme virulent des Gardes rouges, le confucianisme a prospéré malgré tout dans la diaspora et dans d'autres pays asiatiques. Il s'est, notamment, confortablement installé en Corée où il structure en profondeur l'ensemble des relations sociales du pays. Aujourd'hui, on assiste à une véritable réhabilitation de cette école de sagesse prônant le respect des rites et un sens moral strict. Les autorités chinoises viennent d'entamer l'élaboration d'un nouveau canon confucéen pour donner du sens à une société à la fois éblouie par le développement économique et tentée pas des religiosités diverses. En Corée du Sud, le confucianisme, questionné par les évolutions économiques et morales, répond par des recherches universitaires visant à confirmer sa pertinence pour les temps modernes. On mesure mieux les enjeux politiques, intellectuels et spirituels de l'étude renouvelée du confucianisme qui aborde ainsi un nouvel âge de son développement.
She, Mo Ying, was a lonely Girl on the brink of life and death, and was also a terrifying killer. She struggled all day on the edge between right and wrong, so she could only pretend to be weak in her heart.He was his Noble Consort, but she was also a person that he could not love and hate. He was so similar to the person she once loved, she thought that being moved would take it for granted, but she felt tired because of his unknown attitude. When she gave up, she realized that her forgiveness for him was not because of love, but because of a memory that she could not let go.The man who had always been scheming against her but always saved her at the last moment had been using his unique method to tell her that the world was dangerous, and had also used his extremely obscure method to protect her.She had gone through two countries to stay by their side. One was to make a vow from her previous life, and the other was to pay back the debt she had owed him. She was destined to have a different kind of love in this life.In his previous life, he had put on ten miles of makeup for her, but even if he died, he would never be able to change her love. In this life, he had calculated everything, including his loved ones, to ascend to the throne, yet he repeated the same thoughts little by little.
