À l'EnvA, l'enseignement en pathologie des équidés est concentré en fin de cursus avec un volume élevé d'informations transmises aux étudiants qu'ils doivent ensuite intégrer pour les transformer en connaissances. Les vétérinaires équins en exercice sollicités lors d'une enquête ont également mentionné le fait que lors de leurs études, ils auraient...
Laboratory experiments as well as some field essays have revealed that the intracellular bacterium Wolbachia, deliberately introduced in Aedes spp female mosquitoes, drastically reduces their vector competence for dengue virus and, also, other mosquito-borne viral diseases. However, female mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia still need to ingest hum...
La couronne d'un arbre résulte de l'apparition répétée d'éléments végétatifs (métamères, axes) et reproducteurs, et de leur disparition. L'apparition et la disparition de ces éléments sont conditionnées par des facteurs architecturaux, environnementaux et d'éventuelles manipulations humaines. En particulier, la taille des arbres fruitiers est connu...
Study region: The Bas-Loukkos catchment, a Mediterranean catchment in northern Morocco exposed to growing water withdrawal caused mainly by agricultural development. Study focus: For adaptation to climate change, water managers have to consider the high and various uncertainties. To assess impacts of climate change on projected water resources, thi...
Les écosystèmes des prairies occupent plus de 40% des terres émergées de la Terre, et ce dans des contextes édapho-climatiques variés. Leur fonctionnement et leur compréhension sont essentiels dans le contexte du changement climatique et de l'augmentation de la demande mondiale en produits alimentaires d'origine animale. De précédentes expérimentat...
Genomic prediction (GP) has revolutionized crop breeding despite remaining issues of transfer- ability of models to unseen environmental conditions and environments. Usage of endophenotypes rather than genomic markers leads to the possibility of building phenomic prediction (PP) models that can account, in part, for this challenge. Here, we compare...
Theory in ecology and evolution often relies on the analysis of invasion processes, and general approaches exist to understand the early stages of an invasion. However, predicting the long-term transformations of communities following an invasion remains a challenging endeavour. We propose a general analytical method that uses both resident communi...
In West Africa, very poorly documented are the recovery trajectories of secondary forests, and even less is known about the origin of the observed variability in recovery rates. To understand the relative importance of local and regional environmental conditions on these trajectories, we inventoried all trees larger than 2.5 cm DBH on 236 plots (0....
After many years of decline, hunger in Africa is growing again. This represents a global societal issue that all disciplines concerned with data analysis are facing. The rapid and accurate identification of food insecurity situations is a complex challenge. Although a number of food security alert and monitoring systems exist in food insecure count...
