À quel(s) public(s) s’adresse Darwin ? L’Origine des Espèces, entre ouvrage scientifique, œuvre littéraire, et texte de vulgarisation by Camille Debras

“…The aim of this paper is to analyse some of the rhetorical strategies used by Darwin to persuade his reader of the validity of evolution theory in The Origin of Species. The links between science, religion, moral and politics are so intricate in Victorian England that Darwin needs to convince public opinion as well as the scientific community. …”

Pimachrysa (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae: Nothochrysinae): Larval Description and Support for Generic Relationships by Catherine A. Tauber, David K. Faulkner

“…., Dictyochrysa, Hypochrysa, and Pimachrysa) have naked larvae that differ distinctly from the larvae of Nothochrysa species, all of which are debris-carriers. In addition, the pattern of variability in Nothochrysa larval features supports the proposal that this genus has a closer relationship with the other chrysopid subfamilies than do the small-bodied nothochrysine genera. …”
