The use of genetic information is crucial in conservation programs for the establishment of breeding plans and for the evaluation of restocking success. Short tandem repeats (STRs) have been the most widely used molecular markers in such programs, but next-generation sequencing approaches have prompted the transition to genome-wide markers such as ...
Les territoires de montagne sont particulièrement sensibles au réchauffement climatique. Le projet AdaMont a eu pour objectif de développer une approche intégrée de l'adaptation au changement climatique à l'échelle des territoires, en se focalisant sur les territoires de moyenne montagne. Piloté par Irstea et le Centre national de recherches météor...
Dans le cadre du projet AdaMont, un concept de système de management de l'adaptation (SMA) s'inspirant des pratiques du système de management de la qualité (SMQ) a été proposé. Ce concept permet de donner un cadre rigoureux pour mettre la démarche qualité au service de l'adaptation.
In addition to the thousands of deaths due the unprecedented ebola outbreak that stroke West Africa (2014-2016), national health systems in affected countries were deeply challenged impacting a number of diseases control programs. Here we describe the case of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), a deadly neglected tropical disease due to a trypanos...
In order to comply with the different regulations and commitments requesting the presence of scientific observers onboard French purse seiners, and since it is not possible to embark more than one observer during a fishing trip, ORTHONGEL has imagined and implemented since July 2013 a program to facilitate and optimize the boarding of well-trained ...
