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…

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…
Differences in allozyme patterns between Diaphanosoma brachyurum and Diaphanosoma mongolianum, as revealed in Central European populations
1995
Recent taxonomic revisions in the genus Diaphanosoma have made the uncertainty in species discrimination with morphological characters obvious. Therefore species characterization on a genetic basis seems to be required. Here we examined the genetic structure of two Diaphanosoma mongolianum populations and three Diaphanosoma brachyurum populations in Central Europe by allozyme electrophoresis. A genetic differentiation between both species was evident. 5 out of 9 tested loci carried diagnostic alleles. Both species differed in their habitat choice: D. mongolianum was adapted to higher trophic levels than D. brachyurum. Co-occurrence was observed in a eutrophic lake. Populations sampled from …
