Araignée de stade juvénile au cours d'un test de socialité

Juvenile spider during a sociality test. Two young spiders are placed in this arena in order to study their interactions. Spiders are generally solitary, but go through a temporary social period during the juvenile phase prior to dispersion. Research scientists are trying to identify the fundamental mechanisms that favour the emergence of cooperation between individuals leading to the formation of lasting societies.

CNRS Images,

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
