We propose a set of indicators to evaluate how grazing by livestock and grassland management can help preserve biodiversity in the insect communities of grassland ecosystems. These indicators can be calculated for any grassland for which management and botanical composition are known, and they do not require advanced knowledge on conservation biolo...
L'article porte sur la manière dont les artistes contemporains utilisent le papillon pour travailler la trace et le temps qui passe. A travers une symbolique marquée, l'insecte convoque l'idée de transformation ou de résurrection que les oeuvres s'approprient.
Neuroaxonal dystrophy (NAD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by severe axonal swelling (spheroids) throughout the nervous system. In dogs, NAD has been reported in several breeds and a missense mutation in PLA2G6 gene has recently been identified in the Papillon dog NAD. Here we performed ultrastructural analysis to clarify the detailed...
Grazing management is an important tool to preserve insect biodiversity. Although literature hasdiscussed the importance of grazing pressure adjustment to support grassland insect communities forthe ecosystem services they provide, little has been published on the economic sustainability of suchmanagement adjustments to date. This study compared co...

1- The relative importance of local- and landscape-scale factors on butterfly diversity can depend on the quality, management intensity and landscape context of habitat patches. This study aims to disentangle these local and landscape effects on taxonomic and functional composition of butterfly communities within mosaic agricultural landscapes.2- W...
L’écologie du paysage est le cadre théorique et méthodologique dans lequel s’inscrivent mes travaux de recherche depuis ma thèse dans des paysages bocagers bretons et mon intégration au sein de l’UMR Dynafor depuis 2003 où je développe des travaux sur l’écologie des insectes dans des paysages agri-forestiers. Tout d’abord, à l’échelle de l’individu...
