Sommario/riassunto

Dispersal of plants and animals is one of the most fascinating subjects in ecology. It has long been recognized as an important factor affecting ecosystem dynamics. Dispersal is apparently a phenomenon of biological origin; however, because of its complexity, it cannot be studied comprehensively by biological methods alone. Deeper insights into dispersal properties and implications require interdisciplinary approaches involving biologists, ecologists and mathematicians. The purpose of this book is to provide a forum for researches with different backgrounds and expertise and to ensure further advances in the study of dispersal and spatial ecology. This book is unique in its attempt to give an overview of dispersal studies across different spatial scales, such as the scale of individual movement, the population scale and the scale of communities and ecosystems. It is written by top-level experts in the field of dispersal modeling and covers a wide range of problems ranging from the identification of Levy walks in animal movement to the implications of dispersal on an evolutionary timescale.

Sommario/riassunto

Les Crétois ont vécu près de cinq siècles sous domination vénitienne, du début du xiiie siècle au milieu du xviie. Ce fut une véritable entreprise de colonisation : un pays étranger et lointain débarque, prend le pouvoir, s’arroge les meilleures terres qu’il distribue à ses colons, établit son administration ses règles, ses impôts, sa justice, sa religion, sa langue, ses divisions sociales, ses principes économiques... à son avantage. Un système centralisé, contrôlé, mais capable d’évoluer au fil du temps en prenant conscience des réalités. C’est l’objet des premiers chapitres.  C’est aussi une expérience humaine exceptionnelle de coexistence entre deux populations, où à la fois s’affirment et se mêlent les identités. Les Crétois n’ont jamais réellement accepté la domination, près de trente révoltes le prouvent, et les Vénitiens jusqu’au bout se méfient d’eux et refusent de leur confier des armes pour la défense de l’île. Néanmoins, les populations se côtoient, des mariages mixtes ont lieu, des églises s’ouvrent aux deux cultes, et les contacts culturels se multiplient ; c’est ainsi que naîtra la Renaissance crétoise, floraison artistique unique. Les colons, toujours minoritaires, sont‑ils encore des « colons » au bout de plusieurs siècles ? La Crète, après Venise, est‑elle différente ? Ces phénomènes qui touchent à l’humain forment la seconde partie du livre, qui ne peut que se clore sur la conquête turque.  The Cretans lived nearly five centuries under Venetian rule, from the beginning of the 13th century to the middle of the 17th century. It was a real enterprise of colonization: a foreign and distant country, seizes power, arrogates to itself the best lands which it distributes to its colonists, establishes its administration, its rules, its taxes, its justice, its religion, its language, its social divisions, its economic rules ... to its advantage. A centralized system, controlled, but able to evolve over time by becoming aware of the realities. This is the…
