Des (dés)accords grammaticaux dans la dénomination écrite de la personne en France : un tumulte graphique entre passions tristes et passions joyeuses by Manuel Perez, Katy Barasc, Hélène Giraudo

“…One of the often-repeated criticisms is the un-pronounceability of the proposed spellings, criticism that remind the phonocratic support of the linguistics epistemology and the ancillary relegation of writing – relegation reinforced by the Académie française report.Stating a peculiar efficiency of writing supposes breaking the link between sounds and letters, shutting down order keepers arguments. Both dismissals cannot be separated since they tackle a same system: the androphonocracy, a seat where sad passions of a threatened bequest are nourished… waiting for others jubilations.…”

Assessing the impacts of satellite tagging on growth rates of immature hawksbill turtles by Holly J. Stokes, Kimberley L. Stokes, Jeanne A. Mortimer, Jacques‐Olivier Laloë, Nicole Esteban, Graeme C. Hays

“…We suggest that tagging does not impact growth rates at this study site because the turtles (i) typically maintain small home ranges in the lagoon and (ii) are benthic feeders, not actively pursuing prey. We encourage best practice to study the effects of satellite tagging on turtle populations around the world, as the outlook may be different for animals that swim long distances and/or carry large devices.…”
