Résumé : SUBSURF
International audience
Similarity of form between subaerial and submarine landscapes affected by erosion could suggest similarities in the process of erosion, such as by runoff and sedimentary flows, respectively. On the other hand, if aspects of form vary, its characteristics may be used to identify the environmental origin of erosion. Towards these goals, this contribution addresses the morphology of submarine volcanoes (seamounts) with widely differing histories of erosion. One set from the Pacific Ocean never exposed above sea level includes Cretaceous-age seamounts near Hawai'i (including Apu'upu'u Seamount), two seamounts of < 3 Ma in age near a mid-ocean ridge and the 11-4 Ma Jasper Seamount. These seamounts are all isolated from continents and hence from any erosion associated with mass wasting of unstable terrigenous deposits. In such isolated submarine environments, surfaces erode slowly from in situ weathering, mass wasting and scouring by sedimentary flows initiated by slope failure in pelagic or bedrock materials. The Pacific seamounts are compared with Valencia Seamount in the western Mediterranean, exposed subaerially for 100-400 k.y. during the Messinian Salinity Crisis before 5 Ma. Multibeam and deeply towed sidescan sonar data of Valencia Seamount reveal features typical of subaerial erosion of volcanic islands, such as canyons and relatively uneroded sectors (planezes) between them. Using a simple topographical reconstruction, the apparent erosion depth typically reaches 100 m within canyons and up to 180 m in places. Whereas the younger Pacific seamounts do not show these erosional features, the much older Cretaceous seamounts do have channels, which in one example suggests up to 200 m of incision. Both Valencia and Apu'upu'u seamounts have channel longitudinal profiles that are steep and typically linear to concave upwards. The erosion depth of Apu'upu'u Seamount is significant, despite the seamount's persistent submarine environment, because of its greater age, steeper flanks and greater contributing areas to channels compared with Valencia Seamount. These results illustrate that the channel morphology resulting from submarine erosion can become similar to that produced by subaerial erosion given sufficient time.

The property was once a great house and estate owned by John Shaw which was used for sugar cane production. The estate was purchased by the Pringle family in the early twentieth century. In 1923, the great house was converted into a hotel. Later, Pringle left the property to his daughter Flora McKenzie Pringle Stewart, who cultivated its botanical gardens. The area pictured is now known as the Shaw Park Botanical Gardens and Waterfall in Saint Ann, Jamaica. The hotel has been relocated to the beach. Slide labeled Shaw Park Hotel Ocho Rios.

Description : The Creole pig has always been part of the rural and suburban landscape of Martinique. Currently, this breed is not integrated into a research and conservation program. The Natural Park of Martinique Region (PNRM) has the objective to maintain and valorize the genetic heritage of Martinique?s Creole pig and develop a niche business. Based on PNRM knowledge, some Creole pigs live freely in the mountains in the North, in the South coast and in a few disparate traditional breeders located in the countryside. It is essential to carry out an inventory of the local pig population to propose a scheme for conservation and economic development. In order to favour the appropriation of the Creole pig niche, the PNRM, as a decision maker, acts in a systemic and holistic way by considering the whole Martinican territory and the pig sub-sector: producers involved in the COOPMAR pig farmers? cooperative, researchers of INRA (FWI), the food chain and at least (in a second phase) the consumers and the Martinican society. First of all, the pig farmers are involved (private family farms and specialised pig producers). Researchers and technicians from PNRM and INRA- URZ (Animal production research unit) and INRA-PTEA (Tropical platform in animal experimentation) are performing experimental studies both in controlled conditions and in farms, in order to: i) determine phenotypic and genetic characteristics of Martinique?s Creole pigs in comparison with other pig breeds from the Caribbean area; ii) help at designing genetic management to maintain the population and avoiding inbreeding; iii) help at defining feeding management by a) establishing, at the whole territorial food chain, an inventory of co or by-products available for pig feeding; b) implementing experimental studies in technology for conservation; c) implementing feeding and growing experiments and finally iv) help at defining eco-friendly production systems a) aiming at generate an adequate revenue and b) focusing on ecosystem services such as meat quality, socio-cultural services and circular economy. Le porc créole a toujours fait partie du paysage rural et suburbain de la Martinique. Actuellement, cette race n'est pas intégrée dans un programme de recherches et de conservation. Le parc naturel de la région de la Martinique (PNRM) a l'objectif pour maintenir et valoriser l'héritage génétique du porc créole de la Martinique et pour développer des créneaux. Basé sur la connaissance de PNRM, quelques porcs créoles vivent librement dans les montagnes dans le nord, dans la côte sud et chez quelques éleveurs traditionnels disparates situés dans la campagne. Il est essentiel d'effectuer un inventaire de la population locale de porc pour proposer un plan pour la conservation et le développement économique. Afin de favoriser l'appropriation du créneau créole de porc, le PNRM, comme décideur, agit d'une manière systémique et holistique en considérant tout le territoire de la Martinique et sous-secteur de porc : producteurs impliqués dans la coopérative d'agriculteurs de porc de COOPMAR, les chercheurs d'AICN (FWI), la chaîne alimentaire et au moins (dans une deuxième phase) les consommateurs et la société Martiniquaise. Tout d'abord, les agriculteurs de porc sont impliqués (les fermes privées de famille et les producteurs de porc spécialisés). Les chercheurs et les techniciens de PNRM et AICN URZ (unité de recherches de production animale) et INRA-PTEA (plate-forme tropicale chez l'expérimentation animale) réalisent des études expérimentales dans des conditions commandées et dans les fermes : i) déterminent des caractéristiques phénotypiques et génétiques des porcs créoles de la Martinique en comparaison d'autres races de porc à partir du secteur des Caraïbes ; ii) aide à concevoir la gestion génétique pour maintenir la population et à éviter l'endogamie ; iii) aide à définir la gestion de alimentation a) en établissant, à la chaîne alimentaire territoriale de totalité, à un inventaire de Co ou aux sous-produits disponibles pour l'alimentation de porc ; b) mise en oeuvre des études expérimentales en technologie pour la conservation ; c) mettant en application des expériences de alimentation et croissantes et finalement iv) aide à définir viser qui respecte l'environnement des systèmes de production a) produisent de à revenu approprié et b) se concentrant sur des services d'écosystème tels que la qualité de viande, des services socioculturels et l'économie circulaire.

Résumé : International audience
The fitness landscapethe mapping between genotypes and fitnessdetermines properties of the process of adaptation. Several small genotypic fitness landscapes have recently been built by selecting a handful of beneficial mutations and measuring fitness of all combinations of these mutations. Here, we generate several testable predictions for the properties of these small genotypic landscapes under Fisher's geometric model of adaptation. When the ancestral strain is far from the fitness optimum, we analytically compute the fitness effect of selected mutations and their epistatic interactions. Epistasis may be negative or positive on average depending on the distance of the ancestral genotype to the optimum and whether mutations were independently selected, or coselected in an adaptive walk. Simulations show that genotypic landscapes built from Fisher's model are very close to an additive landscape when the ancestral strain is far from the optimum. However, when it is close to the optimum, a large diversity of landscape with substantial roughness and sign epistasis emerged. Strikingly, small genotypic landscapes built from several replicate adaptive walks on the same underlying landscape were highly variable, suggesting that several realizations of small genotypic landscapes are needed to gain information about the underlying architecture of the fitness landscape.

Résumé : International audience
A key question in evolutionary biology is the reproducibility of adaptation. This question can now be quantitatively analyzed using experimental evolution coupled to whole genome sequencing (WGS). With complete sequence data, one can assess convergence among replicate populations. In turn, convergence reflects the action of natural selection and also the breadth of the field of possible adaptive solutions. That is, it provides insight into how many genetic solutions or adaptive paths may lead to adaptation in a given environment. Convergence is both a property of an adaptive landscape and, reciprocally, a tool to study that landscape. In this chapter we present the links between convergence and the properties of adaptive landscapes with respect to two types of microbial experimental evolution. The first tries to reconstruct a full adaptive landscape using a handful of carefully identified mutations (the reductionist approach), while the second uses WGS of replicate experiments to infer properties of the adaptive landscape. Reductionist approaches have highlighted the importance of epistasis in shaping the adaptive landscape, but have also uncovered a wide diversity of landscape architectures. The WGS approach has uncovered a very high diversity of beneficial mutations that affect a limited set of genes or functions and also suggests some shortcomings of the reductionist approach. We conclude that convergence may be better defined at an integrated level, such as the genic level or even at a phenotypic level, and that integrated mechanistic models derived from systems biology may offer an interesting perspective for the analysis of convergence at all levels.
