Simple Summary: Augmentative biological control relies on the more or less frequent/abundant releases of biological control agents (BCAs) that have to be adapted to their short-term local environment including (micro-)climatic conditions. Thermal biology of BCAs is thus a key component for their success. The extent to which thermal tolerance...

Automation of phenotypic measurements of livestock has become a more important goal for scientists and also for farmers who need a more precise, real-time knowledge of their animals. Among physiological measures, body temperature and its variations are key indicators of the physiological health and well-being of animals. Although measuring the...

L'entretien de collections de ressources biologiques est une nécessité pour la recherche fondamentale et appliquée. Les moyens mis en oeuvre dans ce but peuvent être plus ou moins importants en fonction de la nature de ces ressources biologiques qui sont inertes ou vivantes. Les contraintes se font encore plus lourdes si ces ressources...
