Emotions et personnalité : au cœur des décisions chez un poisson monogame
2018
During their lives animals constantly need to make decisions that influence their survival and their reproductive success. The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the role of two variability sources in decision-making — personality and emotional states — in a sexual context in a monogamous fish, the convict cichlid. Our work about personality highlights its importance on pair compatibility and reproductive success. We also observe that reactive individuals adjusted their behaviour to their partner and thus increased their reproductive fitness. This result supports the hypothesis that reactive individuals are more flexible and thus compensate for their weak competitiveness.Personality t…

Evaluation ex ante des conséquences de l'adoption de la production intégrée en grandes cultures à l'échelle de la Bourgogne
2015
The agriculture in France is under intense pressure. Farmers are asked to change their crop management, to evolve toward agroecology, to follow the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and to reduce pesticide use. However such an evolution toward an alternative agricultural model will be possible only if innovative cropping systems are able to maintain competitive and profitable farms.The aim of our work is to contribute to the debates about this issue, by evaluating ex ante the potential consequences of adopting the principles of IPM over one whole agricultural region, taking into account the diversity of production situations within this region. We considered the Burgundy region…
Black currant project: Multidisciplinary approach to agro-ecological measures
2022
The decline of wild pollinators leads to a drastic drop in the associated ecosystem service, resulting in significant lossesin agricultural yields. The production of blackcurrant “Noir de Bourgogne” could potentially be tripled, if populationsof wild pollinators were restored. Various agroecological measures beneficial to pollinators are discussed here, as wellas ongoing experimental tests. We discuss the practical possibilities of implementing these measures by blackcurrantgrowers as well as the technical locks that still exist. The return to an agroecological equlibrium for which pollinationbecomes again a free ecosystem service for agriculture, requires the integration of multiple agroec…
Les espèces adventices, indispensables à la production agricole dans les systèmes à bas intrants
2015
National audience; Le défi principal de l’agriculture aujourd’hui est la conception de systèmes de culture (SdC) permettant de limiter le recours aux intrants chimiques, tout en régulant les bio-agresseurs des cultures et en maintenant le potentiel de production et le revenu des exploitants agricoles. La flore adventice est un exemple emblématique de ce défi et un obstacle majeur aux objectifs du plan Ecophyto ; les herbicides représentent une part importante des produits phytosanitaires utilisés. L’agroécologie repose sur le postulat que la biodiversité, de par ses fonctions et les services écosystémiques (ex. biocontrôle, pollinisation) qu’elle sous-tend, pourrait compenser l’usage d’intr…
In vivo oxydation of [9-14C] cyclic fatty acids derived from linoleic acid in the rat
2006
International audience; Abstract - Heating oils and fats may lead to cyclization of polyunsaturated fatty acids, as for example linolenic acid. Cyclohexenyl and cyclopentenyl fatty acids are subsequently present in some edible oils and these are suspected to induce metabolic disorders. In a previous experiment using [1-14C] labeled molecules, we published that these cyclic fatty acids are beta oxidized to the same extent as linolenic acid, at least for the first cycle of beta oxidation. However, it is possible that the presence of a ring could alter the ability of the organism to fully oxidize the molecule. In order to test this hypothesis, we assessed the oxidative metabolism of cyclic fat…
