Recolonization after habitat restoration leads to decreased genetic variation in populations of a terrestrial orchid.

2012

Colonization is crucial to habitat restoration projects that rely on the spontaneous regeneration of the original vegetation. However, as a previously declining plant species spreads again, the likelihood of founder effects increases through recurrent population founding and associated serial bottlenecks. We related Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism markers genetic variation and fitness to colonization history for all extant populations of the outcrossing terrestrial orchid Dactylorhiza incarnata in an isolated coastal dune complex. Around 1970, D. incarnata suffered a severe bottleneck yet ultimately persisted and gradually spread throughout the spatially segregated dune slacks, aided…

Energy efficiency in the European Union: What can be learned from the joint application of directional distance functions and slacks-based measures?

2014

Abstract Over the last few years concerns have increased about the energy mix in many countries. These concerns have been of greater magnitude for countries with a common energy regulation such as European Union (EU) member states. An important aspect to take into account when choosing a given energy mix is the efficiency involved in its generation. In this context, the present study analyzes the efficiency with which electricity and derived heat was produced in 25 EU member states over the last decade. This analysis considers not only the inputs and outputs involved but, more importantly, which undesirable by-products were generated during the production process, a relevant issue for EU cl…

Contribution à l'étude du slack organisationnel : le cas des dépenses d'investissements dans une grande entreprise industrielle

2012

Contribution to the Study of the Organizational Slack : The Case of Investment Expenditure in a Big Industrial Company This paper contributes to research on organizational slack. The slacks integrated into capital expenditure have been little studied. The economic crisis in 2008-2009 represents a good opportunity to analyze these slacks. A longitudinal case study has been carried out in an industrial company from 2006 to 2010
