The energetic cost of humoral immunity in the Collared Dove, Streptopelia decaocto : is the magnitude sufficient to force energy-based trade-offs?

2005

International audience; 1. Energy saving is often suggested as the basis of a resource trade-off between immunocompetence and other fitness-relevant traits. This suggests that the energetic cost of an immune response is significant and sufficient to force trade-offs. To date, few studies have investigated the energetic cost of the humoral component of the immune system in birds and furthermore, existing results are contradictory. 2. We addressed this question through two experiments. In experiment 1, the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of Collared Doves, Streptopelia decaocto , challenged with sheep red blood cells (SRBC) was compared with the BMR of control birds. The energetic cost of immunity…

Du ciel noir à l'environnement nocturne : la construction d'un nouveau front de protection de la nature

2020

International audience; Depuis les années 1970 plusieurs domaines d’expertise scientifique ont contribué à faire émerger une nouvelle dimension de la protection de l’environnement liés aux effets dégradants de la pollution lumineuse. Cette dernière constitue en soi un objet de controverse entre sciences, notamment sur les différentes façons de la saisir et la définir en tant qu’objet et que fait. Nous retiendrons ici pour qualifier cette forme de pollution le caractère d’un excès de lumière artificielle entrainant des impacts sur les écosystèmes et sur la santé humaine.L’histoire du mouvement de lutte contre l’expansion de l’éclairage artificiel commence à être relativement connue, dans le …

A revision of the structure and stratigraphy of pre-Green Tuff ignimbrites at Pantelleria (Strait of Sicily)

2013

International audience; At Pantelleria, peralkaline silicic magmas were erupted across a range of eruptive typologies and magnitudes: pyroclastic flows, Plinian to strombolian pumice fallout and lava flows. In this paper we focus on the intermediate cycle of eruptive activity which is bracketed by ignimbrite units slightly older than the two caldera collapses which marked the volcanological activity of the island. This age interval (180-85 ka) was punctuated by six ignimbrite-forming eruptions (silicic and variably peralkaline) for a cumulative erupted magma volume of approximately 6 km3 dense rock equivalent. Based on new 40Ar/39Ar (Na,K)-feldspar ages and petrographic data, we propose an …

La résilience de l’érosion du sol en réponse à l’évolution des occupations culturales du sol en contexte viticole (Monthelie, Côte de Beaune)

2011

National audience; Les événements naturels extrêmes sont à l’origine de l’essentiel du transfert de matière observé sur les versants. Outre des enjeux sociétaux et économiques, ces événements peuvent également avoir des répercussions environnementales et culturales irréversibles en modifiant les répartitions spatiales des surfaces cultivables, en affectant aussi bien quantitativement que qualitativement les sols de ces versants. Il apparaît donc essentiel de comprendre, quantifier et prévoir les transferts de matière sur les versants en réponse à des événements naturels extrêmes.Parmi les différents contextes agricoles, les versants viticoles sont reconnus comme des versants particulièremen…

Determinants of the interannual relationships between remote sensed photosynthetic activity and rainfall in tropical Africa

2007

International audience; The response of photosynthetic activity to interannual rainfall variations in Africa South of the Sahara is examined using 20 years (1981-2000) of Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) AVHRR data. Linear correlations and regressions were computed between annual NDVI and annual rainfall at a 0.5° latitude/longitude resolution, based on two gridded precipitation datasets (Climate Prediction Center Merged Analysis of Precipitation [CMAP] and Climatic Research Unit [CRU]). The spatial patterns were then examined to detect how they relate to the mean annual rainfall amounts, land-cover types as from the Global Land Cover 2000 data set, soil properties and soil typ…

Estimation de la différence de température entre la forêt et les sites ouverts dans le Jura

2017

International audience; Cet article porte sur la modélisation statistique des différences qui apparaissent entre la température observée en forêt et en site ouvert. Pour ce faire, nous utilisons un corpus de 29 couples de stations situées à faible distance l'une de l'autre dans les deux milieux et localisés dans le Jura (France). Les températures minimales (tn) et maximales (tx) ont été acquises de décembre 2014 à octobre 2015. La modélisation est fondée sur un modèle de régression où les variables explicatives sont deux variables temporelles relatives aux conditions atmosphériques (amplitude journalière et écart à la normale 1981-2010 des températures). En moyenne, les tn sont plus élevés …

Fate of organic pollutants after sewage sludge spreading on agricultural soils: a 30-years field-scale recording

2006

Le DOI mentionné dans l'article 10.2166/WPT.2007.008 ne fonctionne pas; International audience; Toxic organic compounds, such as the surfactants linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) and nonylphenol polyethoxylates (NPE), Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and residues derived from plastics (PAE-phthalates) end up in sewage sludge. In order to evaluate and quantify the potential environmental risks associated with the xenobiotic introduction into biological life cycle, the EU BIOWASTE project (QLK5-CT-2002-01138) devotes one task to the study of the fate of xenobiotic in a sandy soil after sludge spreading on a 30-year field-scale record experiment. Experimental maize crop fields from Bo…
