Des sommets andins à la forêt amazonienne et jusqu'aux Galápagos, l'Équateur, zone de forte biodiversité mondiale, abrite une faune et une flore uniques au monde. Les photos exceptionnelles présentées dans cet ouvrage en témoignent : les portraits sur le vif d'un condor ou d'un tapir des Andes, d'un renard remontant la pente enneigée d'un volcan, d...

Many empirical studies have analyzed the relationship between human activity and the environment. Some of these have focused on the potentially negative impacts of human activity on the environment. Some others have tried to identify socio-political variables that could be at play in this relationship. Herein, we used well-adapted statistical metho...
Etablie conformément aux critères de l'UICN, la Liste rouge des espèces menacées en France vise à dresser un bilan objectif du degré de menace pesant sur les espèces de la faune et de la flore à l'échelle du territoire national. Cet inventaire de référence, fondé sur une solide base scientifique et réalisé à partir des meilleures connaissances disp...
Species can respond to climate change by tracking appropriate environmental conditions in space, resulting in a range shift. Species Distribution Models (SDMs) can help forecast such range shift responses. For few species, both correlative and mechanistic SDMs were built, but allis shad (Alosa alosa), an endangered anadromous fish species, is one o...
Knowing the trophic ecology of marine predators is essential to develop an understanding of their ecological role in ecosystems. Research conducted on deep-sea and threatened shark species is limited. Here, by combining analyses of individual stomach contents and stable isotope values, we examined the trophic ecology (dietary composition and trophi...
