Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a vector-borne zoonotic virus and the leading cause of human acute encephalitis in Asia. Continuous human and commercial exchanges between Southeast Asia where JE is endemic and Reunion Island increase the risk of introducing JEV on the island, where putative vectors of JEV such as Culex quinquefasciatus and amp...
The reconstruction of geographic and demographic scenarios of dissemination for invasive pathogens of crops is a key step toward improving the management of emerging infectious diseases. Nowadays, the reconstruction of biological invasions typically uses the information of both genetic and historical information to test for different hypotheses of ...
Numerical models are crucial to understand and/or predict past and future soil organic carbon dynamics. For those models aiming at prediction, validation is a critical step to gain confidence in projections. With a comprehensive review of ~250 models, we assess how models are validated depending on their objectives and features, discuss how validat...
Applying deep learning to images of cropping systems provides new knowledge and insights in research and commercial applications. Semantic segmentation or pixel-wise classification, of RGB images acquired at the ground level, into vegetation and background is a critical step in the estimation of several canopy traits. Current state of the art metho...
This study aimed to link experimental data dealing with complex agroecological systems. For sharing and linking collected data with the generic AEGIS (Agro-Ecological Global Information System) database, our work described in this data paper consists in mapping researcher variables to the AEGIS dictionary variable for different tropical crops (suga...
Face à la multiplication des publications scientifiques, les archives scientifiques ouvertes jouent un rôle central pour aider les utilisateurs à effectuer des recherches bibliographiques. Cependant, les services de recherche classiques basés sur des mots-clés ne parviennent pas toujours à apporter des réponses satisfaisantes à certaines recherches...
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...
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...
Increasing nutrient circularity and use efficiency is a leading topic in the search for more sustainable agri-food-waste systems (AFWS). This paper proposes a method to assess the role of crops and livestock in nutrient circularity and use efficiency in an AFWS. The method is based on the analysis of nutrient flows, a detailed typology of flows, an...
Head (panicle) density is a major component in understanding crop yield, especially in crops that produce variable numbers of tillers such as sorghum and wheat. Use of panicle density both in plant breeding and in the agronomy scouting of commercial crops typically relies on manual counts observation, which is an inefficient and tedious process. Be...
