Dichrorampha dinarica, new species, a century of confusion in European lepidopterology (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) resolved by combining morphology an…
2012
Dichrorampha dinarica, new species, is described from the Dinaric mountains (Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina). The newspecies was formerly confused with D. ligulana (Herrich-Schäffer, 1851) from the Alps and D. rilana Drenowsky, 1909 fromthe Rila mountains (Bulgaria). Therefore, a re-description of D. rilana is provided based on topotypical specimens. The diag-nostic morphological characters of the involved species, supported by significant divergence of the mtDNA barcode (COI fragment of 658 bp), are discussed in detail.
100 anys després, el desastre del Titànic troba nous culpables
2012
100 anys després de l'enfonsament del Titànic, l'article revisa, des d'un punt de vista astronòmic, la influència de l'alineació lunisolar de gener de 1912 sobre el desastre marítim. 100 years after the sinking of the Titanic, the article reviews, from an astronomical point of view, the influence of the lunisolar alignment of January 1912 on the maritime disaster.
La barca solar en el arte del antiguo Egipto
2009
Las embarcaciones han sido uno de los elementos básicos en el desarrollo y evolución de la civilización egipcia. Ampliamente utilizadas en la vida diaria por las especiales características geográficas del territorio, dieron el salto al ámbito del Más Allá convirtiéndose en vehículos de la divinidad a la vez que sirvieron de transporte a los difuntos en su tránsito al otro mundo. Este trabajo tiene como objeto mostrar la importancia de la barca en las concepciones egipcias, a lo largo de las diferentes épocas históricas de esta civilización, en relación a su significado e iconografía referida en especial a los ámbitos religiosos y funerarios, señalando las diferencias tipológicas que observa…
Application of an inexpensive and high-throughput genomic DNA extraction method for the molecular ecology of zooplanktonic diapausing eggs
2008
We describe the application of a simple, low-cost, and effective method of DNA extraction (hot sodium hydroxide and Tris, HotSHOT) to the diapausing propagules of continental aquatic invertebrates for its use in PCR amplification. We illustrate the use of the technique in cladocerans, rotifers, anostracans, notostracans, and copepod diapausing eggs. We compare the performance of the HotSHOT technique to the currently most widely used method for DNA extraction of zooplankton eggs and individuals, the chelating resin (or Chelex) technique. The HotSHOT technique overcomes several of the problems posed by Chelex and permits easy optimization for its use with 96-well plates for high-throughput D…
Confrontation of cryptic diversity and mate discrimination within Gammarus pulex and Gammarus fossarum species complexes.
2014
16 pages; International audience; Freshwater amphipods Gammarus fossarum and Gammarus pulex are widespread in Europe, with some evidence of cryptic diversity in the former. We used DNA barcoding to assess genetic diversity within and among amphipod populations and examined mate discrimination and pre-copulatory pair formation between genetically divergent individuals. Eight distinct G. fossarum and four distinct G. pulex molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs) were detected. Among the 33 amphipod populations sampled, 11 contained a single MOTU, 11 had two and 11 were composed of three sympatric MOTUs. Genetic divergences between sympatric MOTUs (G. fossarum and G. pulex MOTUs combined…

2012
Le 17 avril 2012 est paru dans la revue internationale "Proceedings of the Academy of the Sciences of the USA" (PNAS) un article avec le titre "Nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region as a universal DNA barcode marker for Fungi". Ce travail dirigé par le Dr. Conrad Schoch du National Center for Biotechnology Information (USA) est le fruit du travail d'un consortium de chercheurs mycologistes, le "Fungal Barcoding Consortium" de près de 160 scientifiques de 74 laboratoires (25 pays) différents dont deux laboratoires français : le Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle à Paris et l'UMR 1347 Agroécologie (INRA/AgroSup/Université de Bourgogne) de Dijon. Ce travail a permis de d…

The Largest Subunit of RNA Polymerase II as a New Marker Gene to Study Assemblages of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in the Field
2014
Due to the potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycota) to improve plant growth and soil quality, the influence of agricultural practice on their diversity continues to be an important research question. Up to now studies of community diversity in AMF have exclusively been based on nuclear ribosomal gene regions, which in AMF show high intra-organism polymorphism, seriously complicating interpretation of these data. We designed specific PCR primers for 454 sequencing of a region of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II gene, and established a new reference dataset comprising all major AMF lineages. This gene is known to be monomorphic within fungal isolates but shows an…
First Descriptions of Larva and Pupa of
2019
In this paper, the mature larva and pupa of Bagous claudicans are described and illustrated for the first time. Measurements of younger larval instars are also given. The biology of the species is discussed in association with larval morphology and feeding habits. Overall larval and pupal morphological characters of the genus Bagous are presented. Confirmation of the larva identification as Bagous claudicans species was conducted by cytochrome oxidase I (COI) sequencing. DNA barcoding was useful for specimen identification of larval stages. The systematic position of the species within the Bagous collignensis-group, based on morphological and molecular results, is also discussed.
