Parasite fauna and community structure of bathydemersal fishes: Notacanthus bonaparte (Osteichthyes), Etmopterus spinax and Deania profundorum (Chond…
2017
Resumen El mar profundo es el mayor bioma de la tierra y el menos estudiado (Ramirez-Llodra et al. 2010). Si bien inicialmente el mar profundo se consideró como un ambiente muy estable con variaciones muy leves por debajo de la termoclina permanente, los estudios realizados en las últimas décadas indican que el mar profundo es un ambiente más dinámico de lo que se pensaba (Gage 2003, Ramirez-Llodra et al. 2010). La variabilidad natural de los procesos que tiene lugar en los hábitats del mar profundo tiene su origen en diferentes factores entre los que se encuentran las corrientes horizontales de masas de agua de grandes dimensiones dirigidas por las corrientes circunglobales, las cuales pue…
Promoció de la lectura en el marc educatiu
2012
“La promoció de la lectura en el marc educatiu” és un treball de camp que descriu, analitza i planteja uns indicadors d’avaluació d’una experiència realitzada sobre la promoció de la lectura. Aquest treball pretén continuar el camí d’altres investigacions qualitatives que han fixat el seu interés en la lectura, concretament en la lectura a l’aula. L’enfocament qualitatiu que presenta (quasi en la seua totalitat) ve donat per la intenció d’aquesta investigació: la realització d’una recerca molt oberta i flexible que es dirigeix a l’obtenció d’informació, centrada en la pràctica real a l’aula, sobre promoció de la lectura amb l’ús de les tecnologies, atés que el món digital ha irromput amb fo…
Data from: Assessing metabolic constraints on the maximum body size of actinopterygians: locomotion energetics of Leedsichthys problematicus (Actinop…
2019
Maximum sizes attained by living actinopterygians are much smaller than those reached by chondrichthyans. Several factors, including the high metabolic requirements of bony fishes, have been proposed as possible body-size constraints but no empirical approaches exist. Remarkably, fossil evidence has rarely been considered despite some extinct actinopterygians reaching sizes comparable to those of the largest living sharks. Here, we have assessed the locomotion energetics of Leedsichthys problematicus, an extinct gigantic suspension-feeder and the largest actinopterygian ever known, shedding light on the metabolic limits of body size in actinopterygians and the possible underlying factors th…
Age-dependent inbreeding risk and offspring fitness costs in female black grouse
2011
Dispersal is an important mechanism used to avoid inbreeding. However, dispersal may only be effective for part of an individual's lifespan since, post-dispersal individuals that breed over multiple reproductive events may risk mating with kin of the philopatric sex as they age. We tested this hypothesis in black grouse Tetrao tetrix , and show that yearling females never mated with close relatives whereas older females did. However, matings were not with direct kin suggesting that short-distance dispersal to sites containing kin and subsequent overlap of reproductive lifespans between males and females were causing this pattern. Chick mass was lower when kinship was high, suggesting impor…

Composition et cognition musicales : création, perception, appréciation
2005
Ce texte est un rapport de fin de recherche issu de l'ACI cognitique.; Ce projet avait pour objet d'apporter des éléments objectifs de réflexion sur les possibilités et limites de la perception et de la compréhension des matériaux et des structures d'une oeuvre de musique contemporaine. Les buts spécifiques comprenaient l'étude : 1) des processus d'invention et de résolution de problèmes dans la composition musicale, 2) des processus de traitement perceptif et de mémorisation des matériaux musicaux, 3) du traitement perceptif et mnésique des variations ou transformations opérées sur ces matériaux et de l'intégration des matériaux et de leurs transformations dans une forme d'ensemble, 4) du …
Integrative taxonomy of crustacean y-larvae (Thecostraca: Facetotecta) using laboratory-rearing and molecular analyses of single specimens, with the …
2022
AbstractFacetotecta, the taxon established for ‘y-larvae’, is the last major crustacean group for which the adult stage remains unknown. With only 14 described nominal species, all in the genus Hansenocaris, their incompletely known life cycle, small size and dearth of molecular data have hampered assessments of their true species diversity. Based on field studies during which > 11 000 y-larvae were sampled, a new integrative approach for studying the taxonomy of y-larvae is outlined. It focuses on last-stage nauplii and y-cyprids and includes methods for rearing lecithotrophic y-larvae for documenting the morphology of specimens with live photomicroscopy and scanning electron micros…
Traitement de données RGB et Lidar à extrêmement haute résolution: retombées de la compétition de fusion de données 2015 de l'IEEE GRSS - Partie A / …
2016
International audience; In this paper, we discuss the scientific outcomes of the 2015 data fusion contest organized by the Image Analysis and Data Fusion Technical Committee (IADF TC) of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (IEEE GRSS). As for previous years, the IADF TC organized a data fusion contest aiming at fostering new ideas and solutions for multisource studies. The 2015 edition of the contest proposed a multiresolution and multisensorial challenge involving extremely high-resolution RGB images and a three-dimensional (3-D) LiDAR point cloud. The competition was framed in two parallel tracks, considering 2-D and 3-D products, respectively. In this paper, we discuss the sci…
Breeding success of a colony of Boat-billed Herons Cochlearius cochlearius (Ciconiiformes: Ardeidae) in pasturelands of Costa Rica
2014
The breeding success of a double-brooding colony of Boat-billed Herons Cochlearius cochlearius was studied in pasturelands of Costa Rica. Mean clutch size in the first clutches (2.9 eggs/nest) was higher than in second and repeat clutches (2.3 eggs/nest). Breeding success was similar in the first attempt and second attempts(20.7 % and 21.7 %, respectively). In both attempts earlier nests enjoyed a higher breeding success. Starvation of the youngest chicks within the nest and destruction of nests by bad weather conditions were the main factors related to nestling death. No effects of human activity on the reproduction of the breeding colony were observed. Rev. Biol. Trop. 54 (4): 1131-1134. …
Susceptibility of eye fluke-infected fish to predation by bird hosts.
2005
Host manipulation by trophically transmitted parasites may predispose infected hosts to predation and in this way enhance parasite transmission. In most study systems, however, the evidence comes from laboratory studies, and therefore knowledge of the effect of manipulation on parasite transmission efficiency in the wild is still limited. Here we examined the effect ofDiplostomum spathaceum(Trematoda) eye flukes on the susceptibility of fish intermediate hosts to predation by bird definitive hosts. Our earlier studies have shown that the parasite alters fish phenotype and increases their susceptibility to artificial predation under laboratory conditions. In the present field study, we allow…
