Lloyd Axworthy: Canada once rejected America’s aggressive, unlawful foreign policy. Today Mark Carney embraced it By endorsing preventive strikes on Iran during ongoing diplomacy, and after Washington itself shredded the previous agreement, we are embracing the very doctrine we used to reject, writes Lloyd Axwort...

“We invoke international law and the “rules based international order” when adversaries engage in unlawful actions, but abandon those same rules entirely when it’s the Americans…For a country that depends on law more than force for its own security, that is not realism; it is recklessness.”

Projet Rés0Pest : une agriculture sans pesticide est techniquement possible et économiquement viable Une étude menée pendant dix ans montre qu’une agriculture sans pesticides n’est pas utopique. Les rendements varient selon les années, les espèces et les territoires, mais ils restent globalement satisfaisants, même pour des cultures réputées très dépendantes des produits phytosanitaires.   Avec sciences, 25.02.2026 Avec Jean-Noël Aubertot, agronome et directeur de recherche à l’INRAE dans le laboratoire AGIR à Toulouse   Pesticide-free agriculture: Is a third way possible besides organic and conventional agriculture? | Plant Disease, 18.02.2026 https://apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PDIS-09-25-1839-FE  

Cette étude fournit une méthode de protection agroécologique des cultures - une méthode qui combine prévention des bioagresseurs, forte biodiversité végétale et bonne gestion de la santé des sols.

How and why does cognition vary so greatly between individuals and species? In @natrevbiodiv.nature.com, we propose the "Predatory Intelligence Hypothesis" which posits that the cognitive challenges associated with predator–prey interactions drive a cognitive co-evolutionary arms race

It’s electric: Scientists develop cheap way to keep sharks off fishing hooks Unintentional catch is a big reason that more than a hundred shark species are threatened with extinction. Yet creating a small electric field around fishing hooks using cheap inputs — zinc and…

Bycatch is pushing more than 100 shark species toward extinction. A new study shows that a small electric field created by zinc and graphite near fishing hooks can deter many sharks.

Researchers say the nonmagnetic, low-cost materials could help bring shark-repellent gear closer to commercial use.

Pace of ecology drives the tempo of visual perception across the animal kingdom - Nature Ecology & Evolution Using phylogenetic comparative methods across 237 species from disparate phyla, the authors show that species with fast-paced ecologies have higher temporal resolution of perception.

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents | Fortune Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations “screwed up” giving students access to so much technology: “I genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.”

Now THAT's a headline.

The episode was detailed in a Facebook post on the city of Catania’s official page. Accompanying a video of the dog was a remark from the police that “inventiveness can never become an alibi for incivility”. Continue reading...

Under Carney, business is more important than life. As usual, whenever there is a political crisis, politicians put environmental issues on the back burner. The problem is that the environnemental damage is irreversible.
