Reintroduction, the human-mediated movement of organisms to re-establish locally extinct populations, has become a popular conservation tool. However, because reintroductions often focus on local or national conservation issues, their contribution to the conservation of biodiversity at large scale remains unclear. While taxonomic biases have alread...

Background Recent advancement in speciation biology proposes that genetic differentiation across the whole genome (genomic differentiation, GD) may occur at the beginning of a speciation process and that GD itself may accelerate the rate of speciation. The fall armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) has been used as a model species to study the proc...

Viruses are omnipresent, yet the knowledge on drivers of viral prevalence in wild host populations is often limited. Biotic factors, such as sympatric managed host species, as well as abiotic factors, such as climatic variables, are likely to impact viral prevalence. Managed and wild bees, which harbor several multi-host viruses with a mostly fecal...
Predictions of the magnitude and timing of leaf phenology in Amazonian forests remain highly controversial. Here, we use terrestrial LiDAR surveys every two weeks spanning wet and dry seasons in Central Amazonia to show that plant phenology varies strongly across vertical strata in old-growth forests, but is sensitive to disturbances arising from f...

Tropical marine ecosystems are highly biodiverse and provide resources for small-scale fisheries and tourism. However, precise information on fish spatial distribution is lacking, which limits our ability to reconcile exploitation and conservation. We combined acoustics to video observations to provide a comprehensive description of fish distributi...

Plastic pollution has become a significant concern in aquatic ecosystems, where photosynthetic microorganisms such as microalgae represent a major point of entry in the food chain. For this reason an important challenge is to better understand the consequences of plastic pollution on microalgae and the mechanisms underlying the interaction between ...
Due to their high structural and functional diversity, soil invertebrates are crucial for ecosystem functioning and its stability. This diversity is reflected not only in the multitude of quantitative and qualitative studies, but also in the range of existing vocabularies of characters and character states for functional soil biodiversity. Data min...
The Guadeloupe archipelago is home to a rich and precious marine biodiversity that concerns all levels of food webs, including marine mammals. More than 20 species of cetaceans have been listed in the archipelago, which is part of the Agoa sanctuary, a marine protected area in the French Caribbean waters dedicated to marine mammals. Some species ar...

Pour défendre en justice les communs naturels, illustrant la solidarité écologique et définis en préliminaire, deux pistes sont envisagées à la lumière du droit civil. La première s'appuie sur une vision traditionnelle, distinguant sujet et objet du droit, et imposant l'existence d'un droit subjectif à défendre. En matière de commun naturel, il ne ...
