Bacteriophage-encoded single strand annealing proteins (SSAPs) are recombinases which can substitute the classical, bacterial RecA and manage the DNA metabolism at different steps of phage propagation. SSAPs have been shown to efficiently promote recombination between short and rather divergent DNA sequences and were exploited for in vivo genetic e...
Environmentally-induced changes in fitness are mediated by direct effects on physiology and behaviour, which are tightly linked. We investigated how predicted ocean warming (OW) and acidification (OA) affect key ecological behaviours (locomotion speed and foraging success) and metabolic rate of a keystone marine mollusc, the sea hare Stylocheilus s...
Dans un contexte où il est indispensable d'apporter des réponses aux enjeux environnementaux majeurs auxquels notre planète est confrontée, un des principaux secteurs concernés est celui du bâtiment, pour lequel les logements sont encore en 2019 globalement mal isolés d'un point de vue thermique, mais également acoustique. Aussi, des solutions peuv...

Cet article décrit les principaux comportements observés pendant les 19 jours de piégeage d'un groupe de neuf orques (Orcinus orca) dans une baie fermée appelée Traelvikosen, au large de Bronnoysund, sur la côte de la Norvège centraleet.
Statistical dependencies between two variables X and Y indicate that either X causes Y , or Y causes X, or there exists a latent variable Z which influences X and Y. In biology and medicine, an important problem is to find genetic or environmental unobserved causes of phenotypic difference between individuals. In this contribution, we introduce a n...

Many histerid beetles are necrophilous on carrion during both active and advanced stages of decomposition. In this study, 13 species of Saprinus were recorded on carrion from Lebanon, containing eight that are new for the Lebanese fauna. The following Saprinus species are newly recorded from Lebanon: 1) Saprinus (S.) caerulescens caerulescens (Hoff...
