Supporting group decision makers to locate temporary relief distribution centres after sudden-onset disasters
2020
International audience; In the humanitarian response, multiple decision-makers (DMs) need to collaborate in various problems, such as locating temporary relief distribution centres (RDCs). Several studies have argued that maximising demand coverage, reducing logistics costs and minimising response time are among the critical objectives when locating RDCs after a sudden-onset disaster. However, these objectives are often conflicting and the trade-offs can considerably complicate the situation for finding a consensus.To address the challenge and support the DMs, we suggest investigating the stability of non-dominated alternatives derived from a multi-objective model based on Monte Carlo Simul…
Captación y selección de materias primas en la primera metalurgia del Sureste de la península ibérica
2020
The authors are grateful for the technical and human support provided by SGIker of UPV/EHU and European funding (ERDF and ESF). We are also in debt with Eduardo Galán, Ruth Maicas and Carmen Cacho, curators of the Museo Arqueológico Nacional (Madrid) for facilitating the sampling and study of metal objects as well as with Ignacio Soriano Llopis for his help on the selection and sampling of the Palmela points, with Massimo Chiaradia who performed the analyses of the Palmela points at the Department of Earth Sciences (University of Geneva, Switzerland) and with Óscar García Vuelta for his pictures of some assemblages. We also appreciate and the careful work of editing and style of the TP edit…
L’origine des Imerites Rouchadze, 1933 : résultat d’une innovation chez les Gassendiceratinae Bert, Delanoy et Bersac, 2006 (Ammonoidea, Ancylocerati…
2009
15 pages; La découverte récente de plusieurs spécimens remarquables d'Imerites dichotomum (Ammonoidea, Ancyloceratina) apporte de nouvelles précisions paléontologiques sur ce genre. L'étude du développement ontogénétique montre que les Imerites dérivent directement du genre Pseudoshasticrioceras. Leur origine se situe donc parmi les Gassendiceratinae et non chez les Heteroceratidae comme il était généralement admis. Par ailleurs, la cohabitation de formes macroconques et microconques au sein des espèces du genre Imerites confirme l'hypothèse du dimorphisme. Les nouvelles données paléontologiques obtenues montrent que le taxon « Crioceras » cristatus est un nomen dubium et qu'il doit être ab…
Description de Artareites landii nov. (Ammonoidea) du Barrémien supérieur de Majastre (sud-est de la France) et discussion sur les Helicancylidae Hya…
2009
25 pages; Dans le secteur de Majastre (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, SE de la France), le domaine hémipélagique du Crétacé inférieur est exposé à la faveur du décrochement du Poil. Cette position paléogéographique et paléotectonique a permis la récolte d'une faune d'ammonites diversifiée dans le niveau à « petits Barremites ». Il est précisément daté ici pour la première fois et se place entre la base de la sous-zone à Barremense et la base du biohorizon à Breistrofferi de la biozone à Vandenheckei (base du Barrémien supérieur). Au sein de cette faune, Artareites landii nov. sp. est considéré ici, par ses caractéristiques et sa position stratigraphique, comme issu du genre Dissimilites Sarkar. L…
Using foresight exercise to design adaptation policy to climate change: The case of the French wine industry
2018
Foresight studies are regularly conducted at sectoral or geographical scales, in order to help policy makers and economic actors to define their strategy of adaptation to climate change (CC). Some studies are rather “quick exercises”, in which a panel of experts is consulted to define the expected impacts of CC and to identify adaptation leviers for future policy. In other cases, a true foresight methodology is developed, leading to the building of scenarios based on : i) a systemic and participatory approach, ii) the definition of key variables, iii) the choice of assumptions and the coherent relations between these assumptions, the narrative description of scenarios. This participatory di…
High variation in last male sperm precedence and genital morphology in the emerald damselfly, Lestes sponsa
2020
Abstract In organisms in which individuals mate multiply, knowledge of the proportion of offspring sired by the last male to mate (P2) under field conditions is important for a thorough understanding of how sexual selection works in nature. In many insect groups, pronounced intraspecific variation in P2 is commonplace. Interestingly, however, in stark contrast to these observations, compilation of P2 data in dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) indicates that a high P2, seldom below 0.95, is a feature of this taxon. Here we used double digest restriction-site associated DNA sequencing to generate a panel of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with which we could determine paternity and …
Integrative taxonomy demonstrates the unexpected synonymy between two predatory mite species: Cydnodromus idaeus and C. picanus (Acari: Phytoseiidae)
2011
Contact: tixier@supagro.inra.fr; Species of the mite family Phytoseiidae are well known as predators of mite pests all over the world. Their identification is thus of great interest for biological control. The specimens examined in this study belong to the species Cydnodromus idaeus (described from Brazil) and C. picanus (described from Chile). They were collected together on the same plant in Argentina. These species are mainly differentiated by the presence/absence of the dorsal solenostomes (gland openings) gd2. Some morphometric differences were observed between the Argentinian specimens and the type material of C. idaeus and C. picanus; however, they were not sufficient to support a sp…
Plant communities of the Czerwona Woda River Valley (Stołowe Mountains National Park)
2018
Abstract The Czerwona Woda River is the main watercourse in the Stołowe Mountains National Park and drains the major part of the Stołowe Mts. It was regulated in the past, but its channel has been spontaneously naturalised. Now, managed spruce forests grow along almost the entire length of this small mountain stream. The aims of the present study were to investigate diversity of plant communities connected with the Czerwona Woda stream and to prepare detailed vegetation maps. The results obtained can potentially be a reference for future restoration projects implemented in the Stołowe Mountains National Park. As a result of vegetation mapping, there were distinguished 20 plant communities r…

Measuring the quality of humanitarian information products: Insights from the 2015 Nepal earthquake
2018
Information plays a critical role in humanitarian assistance. It has become a product that is shared for multiple purposes such as situational awareness, decision-making, coordination, reporting, and attracting funding. In the aftermath of sudden onset disasters, humanitarians are constrained with huge workload, time pressure, and uncertainties and thus, information products are often criticized with respect to quality issues. In this paper, we aim at developing an empirically grounded framework that can measure the quality of information products through accuracy, objectivity, completeness, and consistency. We validate the framework with the help of practitioners and apply it to the inform…
