Hiernaux, Quentin tree;biology;botany;behavior;ecology;flora;research;vegetation bic Book Industry Communication::P Mathematics & science::PS Biology, life sciences::PST Botany & plant sciences Over the past years, controversies about plant intelligence became featured in scientific journals in ecology and plant biology. Mainstream media and educational literature have also taken up the topic. Could plants be intelligent? Could it be true that they talk to each other, assist and defend each other, etc.? What is the scientific truth behind this idea of plant intelligence? Tackling the issue of intelligence in any organism requires us to study and theorize its behavior. Is the behavior of a plant more like the one of a machine? Or more like animal behavior? Or could some of its aspects even be like the human mind? The experimental results are difficult to interpret in a conceptual tradition focused on humans and animals. They entail a controversial –and sometimes unclear – methodological pluralism. 2023-11-14T12:31:40Z 2023-11-14T12:31:40Z 2023 book 9782759237456 9782759237470 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/85113 eng application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9782759237463.pdf éditions Quae 10.35690/978-2-7592-3746-3 10.35690/978-2-7592-3746-3 f3266e68-be04-43a2-896c-b3499f43d67e 9782759237456 9782759237470 107 open access
