Résumé : International audience

Background. Projections of medical demography show a decrease of number of doctors who practice in a rural setting and a low amount of general practitioners’ facilities.

Aim. To explore residents’ career choices and to determine their terms to settle in rural areas.
Methods. Qualitative study by groups interviews in five French cities with total of 33 residents. Thematic analysis was performed using the NVivo® software.
Results. Personal life strongly influenced residents’ career choices with a strong desire of free time. Residents considered working among a team rather than in a traditional group practice. They were interested by a practice in rural setting but countryside perceived as too far from urban centres and lacking of access to services. They also imagined the practice conditions as difficult and solitary. Many residents intended practicing in a “semi-rural” setting, the description of which could match with a significant part of the rural area.
Conclusion. If this declared craze for practice in “semi-rural” setting was confirmed, forecasts for some rural areas could be relativized. Public authorities’ attention should then be focused on rural areas far from urban centres and on territories characterized by lonesome medical practice.

Contexte. Les projections en termes de démographie médicale montrent une diminution du nombre de médecins exerçant en zone rurale, avec un faible nombre d’installations.
Objectif. Explorer les souhaits d’exercice des internes et recueillir leurs conditions pour exercer en zone rurale.
Méthode. Étude qualitative par entretiens collectifs dans cinq villes de France auprès de 33 internes. L’analyse thématique a été réalisée à l’aide du logiciel NVivo®.
Résultats. La vie personnelle influençait fortement les souhaits d’exercice, avec un désir de préserver du temps libre. Les internes envisageaient un exercice en équipe, au-delà de l’exercice de groupe traditionnel. Ils étaient intéressés par l’exercice en milieu rural, mais le territoire rural leur apparaissait sans accès aux services et très éloigné des pôles urbains. Ils se représentaient également des conditions d’exercice difficiles et solitaires. De nombreux internes se projetaient dans un exercice en « semi-rural », dont la description pourrait correspondre à une partie non négligeable de l’espace rural.
Conclusion. Si cet engouement déclaré pour l’exercice en semi-rural venait à se confirmer, ces projections concernant certaines zones rurales pourraient être relativisées. L’attention des pouvoirs publics devrait alors se concentrer sur les zones rurales éloignées des pôles urbains et les territoires marqués par un exercice médical solitaire prédominant.

Résumé : Genetic variation is generally considered a prerequisite for adaptation to new environmental conditions. Thus the discovery of genetically depauperate but geographically widespread species is unexpected. We used 12 paternally inherited chloroplast microsatellites to estimate population genetic variation across the full range of an emblematic circum-Mediterranean conifer, stone pine (Pinus pinea L.). The same chloroplast DNA haplotype is fixed in nearly all of the 34 investigated populations. Such a low level of variation is consistent with a previous report of very low levels of diversity at nuclear loci in this species. Stone pine appears to have passed through a severe and prolonged demographic bottleneck, followed by subsequent natural- and human-mediated dispersal across the Mediterranean Basin. No other abundant and widespread plant species has as little genetic diversity as P. pinea at both chloroplast and nuclear markers. However, the species harbors a nonnegligible amount of variation at adaptive traits. Thus a causal relationship between genetic diversity, as measured by marker loci, and the evolutionary precariousness of a species, cannot be taken for granted

Résumé : [b]Aim[/b][br/] [br/] The phylogeographical history of Neotropical species can be difficult to reconstruct because of superimposed Neogene and Quaternary histories, and because of taxonomic uncertainty. We analysed range-wide genetic diversity in a widespread pioneer tree species, Jacaranda copaia (Aubl.) D. Don, to characterize phylogeographical structure, date the evolutionary relationships among lineages, and evaluate the role of dispersal and vicariance in establishing the present geographical range.[br/] [br/] [br/] [b]Location[/b][br/] [br/] Guiana Shield; central, southern and western Amazon Basin; Chocó region; Central America.[br/] [br/] [br/] [b]Methods[/b][br/] [br/] We analysed nine nuclear simple sequence repeat loci (nuSSR), eight chloroplast SSRs (cpSSR), and two cpDNA intergenic sequences in 341 adult trees. Genetic differentiation at nuSSRs was inferred using Bayesian clustering. Dating of chloroplast lineage divergence was obtained using a range of published mutation rates and Bayesian coalescence analyses. Population divergence dating was performed using an isolation-with-migration model for eight loci (one cp sequence and seven nuSSRs).[br/] [br/] [br/] [b]Results[/b][br/] [br/] Nuclear SSR variation identified three geographically overlapping clusters (nu-1, nu-2, nu-3). Twelve cpDNA haplotypes were clustered into two haplogroups (cp-1, cp-2) with the central Amazon harbouring the highest diversity. Molecular dating analysis suggests that cpDNA haplotype diversification started around the end of the Pliocene (2.61 Ma on average), whereas population divergence was more recent and occurred during the mid-Quaternary (point estimates between 357 and 436 ka).[br/] [br/] [br/] [b]Main conclusions[/b][br/] [br/] The genetic variation of J. copaia in the Neotropics was shaped mainly by Pleistocene events. Chloroplast diversity did not display the expected cis/trans Andean disjunction, indicating recent dispersal. Nuclear variation revealed that separate regions share a recent history, with a centre of diversity in the central Amazon Basin. The geographical pattern of diversity is congruent with the distribution of the two subspecies, J. copaia copaia and J. copaia spectabilis, and evidence of nuSSR admixture between the two taxa supports their classification as subspecies.
