Résumé : Après avoir rappelé que comme concept de gestion des territoires, le développement durable peut s’inscrire dans un système territorial complexe, l’article s’interroge sur les imaginaires associés à la ruralité et à l’insularité. Largement issue du regard de nos sociétés urbaines, la critique des abus d’un modèle de développement insulaire peu respectueux d’un environnement détérioré et/ou à l’abandon, conduit à promouvoir une gestion des territoires intégrant également une dimension économique et socioculturelle, notamment un fort mouvement de « patrimonialisation », sorte de réinvention de l’île mythique, symbole d’un équilibre passé. Divers exemples (île grecque de Skopelos, Corse, Martinique) montrent que ressources et savoir-faire spécifiques, difficilement transposables en dehors du contexte insulaire, peuvent être considérés comme un atout pour le développement ; ils renforcent l’identité d’une communauté et inspirent des dynamiques sociales renouvelées. Pour autant, il importe de réfléchir aux interactions entre des filières qui partagent les mêmes lieux, les mêmes ressources et impliquent les mêmes personnes. À l’évidence, la qualité du lien social augmente la résilience du système territorial même si cela passe par une redéfinition des règles collectives qui visent à inventer des solidarités durables passant davantage par des savoir-être ensemble que par des savoir-faire purement techniques.
As a concept of territorial management, sustainable development can be analysed in the systemic vision allowed by complex territorial systems. This article wonders about the representations associated to rural areas and insularity. Largely encouraged by our modern societies, the critical vision of island development – not environmentally friendly models – promotes an integrated vision of development aiming at combining economical and sociocultural considerations. The great movement of cultural heritage, sort of reinvention of mythic islands symbolising a past equilibrium is then progressively supported. Different examples dealt with in this article (The Greek island of Skopelos, Corsica, Martinique) show that resources and specific know-how, not easily transferable out of the insular context, can be considered as strong advantages for development. They reinforce communities’ identity and favour new social dynamics. Obviously, quality ties increase the resilience of the territorial system even though it necessitates to redefine collective rules that aim at inventing sustainable solidarity relying mainly on knowing how to behave instead of pure technical know-how.

Résumé : International audience
BACKGROUND: In a malaria-endemic area the distribution of patients is neither constant in time nor homogeneous in space. The WHO recommends the stratification of malaria risk on a fine geographical scale. In the village of Cacao in French Guiana, the study of the spatial and temporal distribution of malaria cases, during an epidemic, allowed a better understanding of the environmental factors promoting malaria transmission. METHODS: A dynamic cohort of 839 persons living in 176 households (only people residing permanently in the village) was constituted between January 1st, 2002 and December 31st, 2007.The information about the number of inhabitants per household, the number of confirmed cases of Plasmodium vivax and house GPS coordinates were collected to search for spatial or temporal clustering using Kurlldorff's statistical method. RESULTS: Of the 839 persons living permanently in the village of Cacao, 359 persons presented at least one vivax malaria episode between 2002 and 2007. Five temporal clusters and four spatial clusters were identified during the study period. In all temporal clusters, April was included. Two spatial clusters were localized at the north of the village near the Comté River and two others localized close to orchards. CONCLUSION: The spatial heterogeneity of malaria in the village may have been influenced by environmental disturbances due to local agricultural policies: deforestation, cultures of fresh produce, or drainage of water for agriculture. This study allowed generating behavioural, entomological, or environmental hypotheses that could be useful to improve prevention campaigns.

Résumé : Cet article explore les raisons qui incitent des acteurs sociaux, politiques et économiques à choisir de mettre les ressources naturelles en valeur, par et pour l’écotourisme. Il pose l’hypothèse que l’attractivité de la nature — sur laquelle s’appuie l’écotourisme — n’est pas neutre, c’est-à-dire que les acteurs impliqués dans la sauvegarde de celle-ci le font principalement par intérêt. Par son lien étroit avec la biodiversité, dont les dimensions ne sont pas accessibles à tous, l’écotourisme constitue un vecteur de développement et de consolidation du pouvoir, en particulier celui de « l’éco-pouvoir », c’est-à-dire celui des acteurs qui détiennent les informations sur l’état des ressources naturelles et sur les solutions qui leur sont accessibles.
This article explores the reasons why the social, political and economic stakeholders choose to promote natural resources by means of and for ecotourism. It hypothesizes that the attractiveness of nature-based ecotourism is not revenue neutral - that is, those involved in promoting this approach do so out of self interest. Through its close relationship with biodiversity, the dimensions of which are not appreciated by all, ecotourism is a vehicle for development and consolidation of power, particularly that of "éco-power", that is say those stakeholders who have information on the state of natural resources and the solutions available to them.

Résumé : The properties of the subduction interplate domain are likely to affect not only the seismogenic potential of the subduction area but also the overall subduction process, as it influences its viability. Numerical simulations are performed to model the long-term equilibrium state of the subduction interplate when the diving lithosphere interacts with both the overriding plate and the surrounding convective mantle. The thermomechanical model combines a non-Newtonian viscous rheology and a pseudo-brittle rheology. Rock strength here depends on depth, temperature and stress, for both oceanic crust and mantle rocks. I study the evolution through time of, on one hand, the brittle-ductile transition (BDT) depth, zBDT, and, on the other hand, of the kinematic decoupling depth, zdec, simulated along the subduction interplate. The results show that both a high friction and a low ductile strength at the asthenospheric wedge tip shallow zBDT. The influence of the weak material activation energy is of second order but not negligible. zBDT becomes dependent on the ductile strength increase with depth (activation volume) if the BDT occurs at the interplate decoupling depth. Regarding the interplate decoupling depth, it is shallowed (1) significantly if mantle viscosity at asthenospheric wedge tip is low, (2) if the difference in mantle and interplate activation energy is weak, and (3) if the activation volume is increased. Very low friction coefficients and/or low asthenospheric viscosities promote zBDT = zdec. I then present how the subducting lithosphere age affects the brittle-ductile transition depth and the kinematic decoupling depth in this model. Simulations show that a rheological model in which the respective activation energies of mantle and interplate material are too close hinders the mechanical decoupling at the down-dip extent of the interplate, and eventually jams the subduction process during incipient subduction of a young (20-Myr-old) and soft lithosphere under a thick upper plate. Finally, both the BDT depth and the decoupling depth are a function of the subducting plate age, but are not influenced in the same fashion: cool and old subducting plates deepen the BDT but shallow the interplate decoupling depth. Even if BDT and kinematic decoupling are intrinsically related to different mechanisms of deformation, this work shows that they are able to interact closely. Comparison between modelling results and observations suggests a minimum friction coefficient of 0.045 for the interplate plane, even 0.069 in some cases, to model realistic BDT depths. The modelled zdec is a bit deeper than suggested by geophysical observations. Eventually, the better way to improve the adjustment to observations may rely on a moderate to strong asthenosphere viscosity reduction in the metasomatised mantle wedge.

Résumé : Cet article analyse les interactions socioculturelles d’acteurs multiples ayant des intérêts divergents en regard de la reconnaissance d’un espace naturel à titre d’aire protégée, plus particulièrement le Parc marin du Saguenay–Saint-Laurent (PMSSL), situé au Québec à l’embouchure de la rivière Saguenay. Compris dans le sens d’espace socialisé et investi de valeurs parfois contradictoires, ce territoire constitue le cas empirique sur lequel repose l’analyse des logiques d’acteurs. La perspective ici mise de l’avant repose à la fois sur une décision de l’État de créer et de mettre en valeur une aire marine ainsi que sur la participation active des collectivités territoriales dans la gestion du patrimoine environnemental et culturel lié à leur identité propre. Si la participation des communautés locales apparaît comme un élément essentiel et démocratique dans la reconnaissance d’un espace naturel protégé, il apparaît tout aussi capital de bien saisir la logique qui sous-tend les actions de l’État et du milieu. Les résultats empiriques montrent deux logiques d’action distinctes à l’œuvre, une logique classique de planification et implantation stratégiques de l’état réservant une espace de participation programmée pour la communauté et une logique stratégique communautaire à caractère émergent, de portée moins englobante, mais adaptable aux nouvelles réalités et contraintes gouvernementales. Les résultats peuvent être représentés sous forme d’un processus de gouvernance à l’œuvre, un caractérisé par une participation de base, mais un qui suggère qu’un processus plus hautement démocratique nécessiterait un plus haut degré de vigilance dans la perspective communautaire, suffisante pour produire une meilleure symétrie de pouvoir démocratique entre l’État.
This paper analyzes the socio-cultural dynamic between multiple stakeholders with divergent interests concerning the formalization of the status of a natural area into a protected area. The empirical case under analysis is the creation of the Saguenay Marine Park located at the confluence of the St-lawrence and Saguenay rivers in Québec, a rural region represented by different localities showing some contradictions in socio-economic values and agendas. The dual perspective put forth is, first, the governmental decision one to create and promote a marine protected area, and second, the regional community one to participate in the process and adapt the management of their cultural and environmental heritage to their own perception of their socio-economic identity. The objective of analysis is to identify the logics of action underlying both processes. The empirical results show two distinct logics at work, a government logic of classic managerial planning and implementation into which the community has a programmed role and a community logic of emergent planning, less comprehensive in scope, but adaptable to the emerging realities and limitations of the governmnent one. They can be seen in tandem as representing a governance process at work, one with a basic participative character, but one which suggests that an enhanced democratic process entails a higher vigilance level from a community perspective, such as to produce a more even democratic symmetry of powers between the State and the regional community.

Résumé : International audience
Le territoire est une aire appropriée, investie par une communauté ou une société qui y vit, chaque île se décompose donc en une série de territoires qui se jouxtent et se superposent suivant les fonctionnalités qu’ils représentent. On peut identifier des territoires de vie, de production, de découverte et de loisirs. Ces derniers sont multiples en fonction des pratiques sportives, des groupes qui les exercent, de la symbolique qui l’accompagne. L’espace de vie du pêcheur se compose des lieux du quotidien : sa maison, le quartier, la plage, la zone de pêche plus ou moins étendue en fonction de la région. Les valeurs psychologiques qu’il projette sur la mer sont nombreuses et fondent en partie ses connaissances empiriques, sa représentation mentale du fond, des biocénoses marines et la réponse technique qu’il apporte. Les espaces vécus des individus comprennent les espaces de vie (lieux fréquentés par l’individu), l’espace social (composé des interrelations sociales spatialisées) et les valeurs psychologiques qui y sont projetées et perçues (Frémont A, 1984). La constitution multiethnique des sociétés insulaires et créoles accroît la variété des espaces vécus. Ces derniers constituent des métastructures spatiales qui englobent les différents territoires de l’individus (Di Méo G, 1991) qu’il est nécessaire d’appréhender afin de comprendre en partie le fonctionnement des dynamiques littorales. Les territoires littoraux sont appropriés par des communautés qui y vivent, y travaillent et y pratiquent des loisirs. Les sociétés littorales traditionnelles sont faciles à identifier : elles comprennent les pêcheurs, les marins de commerce, les professions induites aux activités maritimes. Leur niveau d’appropriation de l’espace littoral est cependant très divers entre le pêcheur à pied qui capture les crabes en mangrove et celui qui effectue des sorties de plusieurs jours en mer. Si le territoire du premier est restreint, les phénomènes de territorialisation peuvent être forts dans les deux cas. Les habitants du littoral sont plus nombreux et leur rapport à la mer reste difficile à appréhender. Les rivages permettent la survie pour les paysans haïtiens fuyant les mornes de l’intérieur, la mer apporte un complément d’activité, un espace libre pour s’y installer. Cependant dans la majorité des îles de la Caraïbe, les littoraux accueillent de nouvelles populations attirées par la beauté des paysages marins, par de nouveaux modes d’existence où les loisirs nautiques donnent sens à la vie. Vivre au bord de la mer et bénéficier de la vue océane devient signe d’une promotion sociale, et aussi de spéculation foncière et économique. D’autre exercent par choix, de nouveaux métiers maritimes, moniteurs de plongée, skippers de voiliers …Les touristes enfin constituent des populations littorales éphémères mais en renouvellement constant. Leur rapport à la mer est très divers et peut-être très intime pour certains d’entre eux, passionnés de voile, de surf ou de plongée. Ils créent aussi des territoires particuliers.Le territoire induit aussi l’identification de la société à un lieu qu’il charge d’une histoire et d’un patrimoine communs et d’une idéologie particulière. Ces éléments fondent en partie le sentiment d’identité collective (Di Méo G, 2000).Ainsi dans une société qui se tertiairise, la mer, espace mythique, se charge de multiples valeurs symboliques : la liberté, la pureté, le plaisir. Le surfeur, comme le pêcheur deviennent emblèmes de ces valeurs alors que leur nombre est réduit aux Antilles. Dans ces îles rurales, ce sont les pêcheurs pourtant peu nombreux qui incarnent en partie la tradition des métiers d’autrefois : les courses de bateaux de travail (gommiers, yoles, keelboat) se développent et sont appréciées dans toute la Caraïbe.

Résumé : In oyster farming areas, organic matter fluxes toward sediment is increased. Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) reject organic-rich faeces and pseudofaeces as a result of filtration process. Organic matter can be consumed by benthic fauna, but in excess it can entails the reduction of benthic faunal species richness, abundance and biomass. Organic matter degradation also induces hypoxic (or anoxic) conditions in the sediment, and production of ammonia and sulfides in toxic concentrations. The main objective of this study is to assess the effects of oyster farming on benthic intertidal ecosystems in the Pertuis Charentais. Benthic macrofauna, living (stained) foraminifera, and physicochemical characteristics of the water column and sediment were used as indicators to evaluate these effects. A multidisciplinary approach was conducted across the Pertuis Charentais at 3 different spatial scales: an oyster trestle (micro-scale), an oyster culture area (meso-scale) and various sites across the Pertuis Charentais (macro-scale). The study was also realised at 4 different temporal scales: some months for the spatial micro-scale, every two weeks for 2 years at meso-scale and once per season during one year at macro-scale. In this study, I found that oyster farming enriches sediment in fine particles, organic matter (up to 12 %), particulate organic carbon (15-20 µg mg 1) and leads to high microphytobenthic biomass. Moreover, the association of seasonnal warming (during spring and summer), remineralisation of accumulated organic matter and short-term hypoxic conditions leads to sulfides and ammonium production. Consequently, the benthic biodiversity decreases and the population dynamic is disturbed. The population dynamic disturbance is characterised by fast abundance rises followed by high mortality rates. In these conditions, tolerant benthic macrofaunal (Cirratulidae, Spionidae and Capitellidae) and foraminiferal (Ammonia tepida and Cribroelphidium gunteri) species are promoted. AMBI index confirms "medium" ecological quality of oyster farming areas. On the contrary, across the control sites, sensible species are maintained (Amphipods, Rosalina cf. vilardeboana). Comparison of oyster farming techniques shows that on-bottom culture is less disturbing for benthic ecosystem than off-bottom culture. Axial tomodensitometry, an innovative method, was used to describe in 3D the sedimentary column organisation. I show that oyster farming modifies the sedimentary column functioning. Indeed, the macrofaunal diversity decrease leads to the modification of the functional diversity of assemblages. Thus, the vertical distribution of living foraminifera is limited in oyster farming areas, because their distribution is tightly related to macrofaunal bioturbating modes.
Dans les zones ostréicoles, les flux de matière organique sont importants, l'huître Crasssotrea gigas rejetant sous forme de pseudo-fécès et de fécès de grandes quantités de matière organique. De ce fait, bien que cette matière organique puisse être consommée par la faune benthique, sa surabondance peut provoquer une réduction de la richesse spécifique, de l'abondance et de la biomasse et provoquer sur le plan des processus biogéochimiques des déplétions en oxygène et l'apparition de substances comme l'ammonium et les sulfures dont les concentrations peuvent devenir toxiques. L'objectif principal de cette étude était donc de déterminer l'impact de l'ostréiculture, grâce à plusieurs indicateurs, sur le compartiment benthique d'un écosystème littoral comme les pertuis charentais. Pour évaluer ces effets, la macrofaune benthique et les foraminifères vivants benthiques ont été utilisés en association avec des mesures des paramètres physico-chimiques de la colonne d'eau et du sédiment. Une approche pluridisciplinaire a ainsi été menée dans les pertuis charentais à trois échelles spatiales différentes : à l'échelle d'une table ostréicole (micro-échelle), à l'échelle d'un site ostréicole (méso-échelle) et à l'échelle des pertuis charentais (macro-échelle). Dans les trois cas, un suivi dans le temps a été associé à une étude de distribution spatiale, quelques mois à micro-échelle, tous les quinze jours pendant deux années à méso-échelle et une fois par saison pendant une année à macro-échelle. Ces différentes approches ont permis d'avoir une vision pertinente de la dynamique et de la réponse fonctionnelle de la faune benthique aux changements induits par la présence de l'ostréiculture. La présence des cultures ostréicoles dans les pertuis charentais enrichit les sédiments en particules fines, en matière organique (12 %), en carbone organique particulaire (15-20 µg mg-1) et favorise une production microphytobenthique élevée. Pendant la période chaude de l'année printemps-été, la reminéralisation de la matière organique accumulée associée à des hypoxies temporaires a favorisé la production de sulfures et d'ammonium. Dans les stations soumises à l'ostréiculture, la diversité des assemblages diminue. La dynamique des espèces est caractérisée par des augmentations rapides des abondances suivies d'épisodes de mortalité. Les espèces tolérantes de la macrofaune benthique (Cirratulidae, Spionidae et Capitellidae) et des foraminifères vivants benthiques (Ammonia tepida et Cribroelphidium gunteri) sont favorisées. Le calcul de l'indice AMBI confirme la qualité écologique moyenne de ces sites. Au contraire, dans la station témoin, les espèces sensibles sont favorisées (Amphipodes, Rosalina cf. vilardeboana). La comparaison de la technique de culture sur table et de culture à plat a montré que la culture des huîtres à plat est moins perturbante pour le milieu. L'étude de la bioturbation a montré l'influence qui existe entre le mode de bioturbation des différents groupes de la macrofaune et la répartition verticale des foraminifères vivants dans la colonne sédimentaire. La diminution de la diversité des assemblages de la macrofaune dans les zones soumises à l'ostréiculture modifient la diversité fonctionnelle de ces assemblages et affectent le fonctionnement de la colonne sédimentaire, limitant la répartition verticale des foraminifères dans ces zones.

Résumé : The sinking of the Prestige tanker (November, 2002) spilled over 64000 tons of heavy fuel oil. The Prestige oil spill (POS) affected approximately 1000 km of coast belonging to Portugal, France and Spain and more than 600 sandy beaches were polluted along the Atlantic coast of Spain. Since POS, yearly surveys of two oiled sandy beaches (Galicia, NW Spain) have provided evidences regarding the oil pollution behavior and the influence of beach morphodynamics on the dynamics of the contamination. The analysis of wave climate, the extracted suction cores and the detected oil from 2004 and 2009 fieldworks have allowed to promote a conceptual model of the influence of beach morphodynamics on the first steps of an oil spill and to establish the effects on the long-term oil pollution

Résumé : International audience
Activation of cell signaling by reactive chemicals and pollutants is an important issue for human health. It has been shown that lipophilic nitro-benzoxadiazole (NBD) compounds rapidly move across the plasma membrane and enhance Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) tyrosine phosphorylation in cancer cells. Unlike ligand-dependent activation, the mechanism of this induction relies on the generation of hydrogen peroxide, which is involved in the activation of the catalytic site of the receptor and the inactivation of protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP-1B. Production of H2O2 during redox transformation of NBD compounds is associated with the transition of a monomeric form of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) to stable dimers. The highly stable and functionally active SOD1 dimer, in the absence of adequate activities in downstream reactions, promotes the disproportionate production and accumulation of intracellular hydrogen peroxide shortly after exposure to NBD compounds. The intrinsic fluorescence of small compounds was used to demonstrate their binding to SOD1. Our data indicate that H2O2 and concomitantly generated electrophilic intermediates behave as independent entities, but all contribute to the biological reactivity of NBD compounds. This study opens a promising path to identify new biomarkers of oxidative/electrophilic stress in the progression of cancer and other diseases

Résumé : International audience
Large earthquakes nucleate at tectonic plate boundaries, and their occurrence within a plate's interior remains rare and poorly documented, especially offshore. The two large earthquakes that struck the northeastern Indian Ocean on 11 April 2012 are an exception: they are the largest strike-slip events reported in historical times1, 2 and triggered large aftershocks worldwide3. Yet they occurred within an intra-oceanic setting along the fossil fabric of the extinct Wharton basin, rather than on a discrete plate boundary4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Here we show that the 11 April 2012 twin earthquakes are part of a continuing boost of the intraplate deformation between India and Australia that followed the Aceh 2004 and Nias 2005 megathrust earthquakes, subsequent to a stress transfer process recognized at other subduction zones9, 10. Using Coulomb stress change calculations, we show that the coseismic slips of the Aceh and Nias earthquakes can promote oceanic left-lateral strike-slip earthquakes on pre-existing meridian-aligned fault planes. We further show that persistent viscous relaxation in the asthenospheric mantle several years after the Aceh megathrust explains the time lag between the 2004 megathrust and the 2012 intraplate events. On a short timescale, the 2012 events provide new evidence for the interplay between megathrusts at the subduction interface and intraplate deformation offshore. On a longer geological timescale, the Australian plate, driven by slab-pull forces at the Sunda trench, is detaching from the Indian plate, which is subjected to resisting forces at the Himalayan front6, 8, 11.

Résumé : Résumé de l'ouvrage
With the constitution of the colonial empire, at the end of the nineteenth century, Bordeaux, whose the traded tradition was already well established dreams of becoming the “colonial capital city of France” in competition with the cities of Paris, Marseille and Lyon. Faced with the ignorance of French people on these countries and on these peoples with the strange and primitive customs, the Elite from Bordeaux tried to promote the products coming from colonies and, at the same time, to spread the idea and the taste of colonial cultures. The commercial, industrial and artistic exhibitions will prove to be a festive, theatrical and didactic mean of popularization. Bordeaux, pioneer city, will organize more than forty exhibitions and the colonial fairs at the Quinconces place between 1850 and 1940. The Philomathic Society of Bordeaux will set up the most prestigious ones, in 1895 and 1907. Staged in real colonial palace, Bordeaux sold “colonial dream”. With these private colonial pavilions, Bordeaux will be crowned, in 1923, first colonial fair of France. In these same educational and paternalistic spirit, Bordeaux will open five museum rooms for the French colonies. During several decades, Bordeaux will proudly affirm its colonial identity though its cultural demonstrations and the dynamism of its port activities.
Avec la constitution de l'empire colonial, à la fin du XIXe siècle, Bordeaux, dont la tradition commerçante était déjà bien établie, rêve de devenir la « capitale coloniale de la France » en concurrence avec les villes de Paris, Marseille et Lyon. Face à la méconnaissance des Français sur ces pays et ces peuples aux « moeurs curieuses et sauvages », les élites bordelaises cherchèrent à promouvoir les produits en provenance des colonies et, en même temps, à diffuser l'idée et le goût des cultures coloniales. Les expositions commerciales, industrielles et artistiques se révéleront comme un moyen festif, théâtral et didactique de vulgarisation populaire. Bordeaux, ville pionnière, organisera plus d'une quarantaine d'expositions et de foires coloniales sur les Quinconces entre 1850 et 1940. Les plus prestigieuses seront celles organisées par la Société Philomathique de Bordeaux, en 1895 et 1907. Mis en scènes dans de véritables palais coloniaux, Bordeaux vend du « rêve colonial ». Avec ses pavillons coloniaux particuliers, Bordeaux sera consacré, en 1923, première « foire coloniale de France ». Dans ce même esprit pédagogique et paternaliste, Bordeaux ouvrira cinq salles de musées aux colonies françaises. Pendant plusieurs décennies, Bordeaux affirmera fièrement son identité coloniale à travers ses manifestations culturelles et le dynamisme de ses activités portuaires. L'élan colonisateur ne s'est pas arrêté à une simple propagande politique et mercantile : ce fut avant tout la mobilisation d'énergies humaines qui, dans la passion de l'histoire en marche, ont mis en scène leurs convictions à travers d'ambitieuses démonstrations. Aujourd'hui, les fonds artistiques et ethnographiques des musées bordelais et l'abondance des collections privées témoignent aussi d'un véritable goût pour l'ailleurs et pour la différence. Pour le meilleur comme pour le pire, la richesse incontestable des faits historiques révèle que l'histoire des outre-mers a toujours été liée à la ville de Bordeaux.

Résumé : The oblique convergence between North American and Caribbean plates is accommodated in a bookshelf faulting manner by active, oblique-normal faults in the northern part of the Lesser Antilles arc. In the last 20 years, two M > 6 earthquakes occurred along a large, arc parallel, en echelon fault system, the 16 March 1985 in Redonda and 21 November 2004 in Les Saintes. A better understanding of active faulting in this region permit us to review the location and magnitude of historical earthquakes by using a regional seismic attenuation law. Several others moderate earthquakes may have occurred along the en echelon fault system implying a strong seismic hazard along the arc. These faults control the effusion of volcanic products and some earthquakes seem to be correlated in time with volcanic unrest. Shallow earthquakes on intraplate faults induced normal stress and pressure changes around neighboring volcano and may have triggered volcanic activity. The Redonda earthquake could have initiated the 1995 eruption of Montserrat's Soufriere Hills by compressing its plumbing system. Conversely, pressure changes under the volcano increased Coulomb stress changes and brought some faults closer to failure, promoting seismicity. We also discuss the magnitude of the largest 11 January 1839 and 8 February 1843 megathrust interplate earthquakes. We calculate that they have increased the stress on some overriding intraplate faults and the extensional strain beneath several volcanoes. This may explain an increase of volcanic and seismic activity in the second half of the 19th century culminating with the devastating, 1902 Mount Pelee eruption.

Résumé : International audience
Infectious marine diseases can decimate populations and are increasing among some taxa due to global change and our increasing reliance on marine environments. Marine diseases become emergencies when significant ecological, economic or social impacts occur. We can prepare for and manage these emergencies through improved surveillance, and the development and iterative refinement of approaches to mitigate disease and its impacts. Improving surveillance requires fast, accurate diagnoses, forecasting disease risk and real-time monitoring of disease-promoting environmental conditions. Diversifying impact mitigation involves increasing host resilience to disease, reducing pathogen abundance and managing environmental factors that facilitate disease. Disease surveillance and mitigation can be adaptive if informed by research advances and catalysed by communication among observers, researchers and decision-makers using information-sharing platforms. Recent increases in the awareness of the threats posed by marine diseases may lead to policy frameworks that facilitate the responses and management that marine disease emergencies require.

Résumé : International audience
Several epidemiologic studies have shown an interactive effect of heavy smoking and heavy alcohol drinking on the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. It has also been recently described that chronic hepatocyte death can trigger excessive compensatory proliferation resulting later in the formation of tumors in mouse liver. As we previously demonstrated that both benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), an environmental agent found in cigarette smoke, and ethanol possess similar targets, especially oxidative stress, to trigger death of liver cells, we decided to study here the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the effects of B[a]P/ethanol coexposure on cell death. After an 18-h incubation with 100nM B[a]P, primary rat hepatocytes were supplemented with 50mM ethanol for 5 or 8h. B[a]P/ethanol coexposure led to a greater apoptotic cell death that could be linked to an increase in lipid peroxidation. Plasma membrane remodeling, as depicted by membrane fluidity elevation and physicochemical alterations in lipid rafts, appeared to play a key role, because both toxicants acted with specific complementary effects. Membrane remodeling was shown to induce an accumulation of lysosomes leading to an important increase in low-molecular-weight iron cellular content. Finally, ethanol metabolism, but not that of B[a]P, by providing reactive oxygen species, induced the ultimate toxic process. Indeed, in lysosomes, ethanol promoted the Fenton reaction, lipid peroxidation, and membrane permeabilization, thereby triggering cell death. To conclude, B[a]P exposure, by depleting hepatocyte membrane cholesterol content, would constitute a favorable ground for a later toxic insult such as ethanol intoxication. Membrane stabilization of both plasma membrane and lysosomes might be a potential target for further investigation considering cytoprotective strategies.

Résumé : L’importance du rôle des petites agricultures dans les processus de sécurité alimentaire et de souveraineté alimentaire est de plus en plus reconnue. A Sainte-Lucie comme en Martinique, un certain nombre d’acteurs s’engagent officiellement pour une agriculture diversifiée s’appuyant sur les préceptes du développement durable. C’est en tenant compte de ce contexte qu’en partie l’idée de réaliser une étude sur la petite agriculture de Sainte-Lucie et de la Martinique a germé. Aussi, le présent travail se veut-il avant tout une contribution au diagnostic de la petite agriculture face à la modernisation des systèmes agricoles intensifs dans chacune de ces deux îles. Il s’agit de mettre à l’évidence les richesses et les insuffisances de cette petite agriculture, mais aussi les atouts et les contraintes de l’environnement. En grande partie elle prend appui sur le jardin créole, système agricole considéré par bien d’acteurs comme un fondement culturel et une base culturale. Dans chacune des deux îles, beaucoup de petits agriculteurs font de la biodiversité une composante primordiale de la gestion de leurs systèmes agricoles. Les enjeux visés ici portent sur la contribution d’une gestion optimale de cette biodiversité à la promotion des agrosystèmes paysans durables à différentes échelles spatio-temporelles. Dès lors, tout dépend des méthodes d’accompagnement des agriculteurs à mettre en œuvre. Va-t-on poursuivre avec des approches descendantes basées sur la logique de transfert ? Si non, le moment n’est-il pas venu de réunir les conditions pouvant permettre la mise en œuvre des véritables démarches de co-construction ?
The important role of small farmers in the process in food security and of food sovereignty is increasingly recognized. In St. Lucia as in Martinique, a number of actors officially committed to a diverse agriculture based on the precepts of sustainable development. It is in the light on this context that partially, the idea of a study on small holder St Lucia and Martinique germinated. Also, the present work is first and foremost a contribution to the diagnosis of small-scale agriculture to modernization of the intensive agricultural systems in each of these two islands. It is put clearly the richness and the inadequacies of this small scale-agriculture, but also the advantages and constraints of the environment. In large part it builds on the creole garden, agricultural system considered by many actors as a cultural foundation and a base of farming practices. In each of the two islands, many small farmers make biodiversity an essential component of management of their farm systems. The stakes referred here relate to the optimal management contribution of biodiversity to promote sustainable peasant agro-ecosystems at different spatial and temporal scales. Therefore, everything depends on farmer coaching methods to set up. Will we continue with down approaches based on logic of transfer ? Otherwise, isn’t time to create the conditions that could allow the development of real co-construction steps ?

Résumé : International audience
CYLD is a tumour suppressor gene mutated in familial cylindromatosis, a genetic disorder leading to the development of skin appendage tumours. It encodes a deubiquitinating enzyme that removes Lys63- or linear-linked ubiquitin chains. CYLD was shown to regulate cell proliferation, cell survival and inflammatory responses, through various signalling pathways. Here we show that CYLD localizes at centrosomes and basal bodies via interaction with the centrosomal protein CAP350 and demonstrate that CYLD must be both at the centrosome and catalytically active to promote ciliogenesis independently of NF-κB. In transgenic mice engineered to mimic the smallest truncation found in cylindromatosis patients, CYLD interaction with CAP350 is lost disrupting CYLD centrosome localization, which results in cilia formation defects due to impairment of basal body migration and docking. These results point to an undiscovered regulation of ciliogenesis by Lys63 ubiquitination and provide new perspectives regarding CYLD function that should be considered in the context of cylindromatosis.

Résumé : International audience
Purpose The purpose of this review was to examine the comprehensively accumulated data regarding potential therapeutic aspects of exogenous administration of interleukin 33 (IL-33) or its antagonists in allergic, cancerous, infectious, and inflammatory diseases. Methods A selected review was undertaken of publications that examined the protective and exacerbating effects of IL-33 or its inhibitors in different diseases. Mechanisms of action are summarized to examine the putative role of IL-33 in various diseases. Findings IL-33 promoted antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and vaccine adjuvant functions. However, in TH2-biased respiratory, allergic, parasitic, and inflammatory conditions, IL-33 exhibited disease-sensitizing effects. The alarmin cytokine IL-33 induced protective effects in diseases via recruitment of regulatory T cells; antiviral CD8+ cells, natural killer cells, γδ T cells, and nuocytes; antibacterial and antifungal neutrophils or macrophages; vaccine-associated B/T cells; and inhibition of nuclear factor–κB–mediated gene transcription. In contrast, IL-33 exacerbated the disease process by increasing TH2 cytokines, IgE and eosinophilic immune responses, and inhibition of leukocyte recruitment in various diseases. Implications The protective or exacerbated aspects of use of IL-33 or its inhibitors are dependent on the type of infection or inflammatory condition, duration of disease (acute or chronic), organ involved, cytokine microenvironment, dose or kinetics of IL-33, and genetic predisposition. The alarmin cytokine IL-33 acts at cellular, molecular, and transcriptional levels to mediate pluripotent functions in various diseases and has potential therapeutic value to mitigate the disease process

Résumé : International audience
Ecological signs of Earth's biosphere forewarn an alarming trajectory towards a global mass-extinction. Assessing species performance and susceptibilities to decline is essential to comprehend and reverse this trend. Yet it is challenging, given difficulties associated with quantifying individual and population processes that are variable across time, space, and life-stages. We describe a new approach to estimating and comparing species performances that combines empirical data, a novel theoretical consideration of population dynamics, and modern statistics. Our approach allows for a more realistic continuous representation of individual performances along development stages while taking into account non-linearity, and natural variability as captured by spatio-temporally replicated observations. We illustrate its application in a coral meta-assemblage composed of populations of the three major reef-building taxa Acropora, Pocillopora, Porites. Using a unique set of highly replicated observations of individual coral dynamics under various environmental conditions, we show how taxa differ in their investment in recruitment and size-specific aptitude for growth and survival, notably through different use of clonal shrinkage, fragmentation, fission, and fusion processes. Our results reveal contrasting life-history trade-offs among taxa which, along with differing patterns of density-dependent recruitment, modulate species responses to decline. These differences in coral life history traits reflect opposing life-strategies, imply regulation at differing life-stages, and explain divergence in species trajectories. Our findings indicate a high potential for resilience in Pocillopora and Porites populations, thanks respectively to a sustained recruitment that promotes demographic elasticity through replacement of individuals, and a steady resistance to mortality which confers persistence through lingering of individuals. Resilience in Acropora appears more arbitrary, given high susceptibility to perturbations and dependency of recruitment on presence of established local populations. We identify management actions that can complement Acropora's life history and benefit recovery of its populations following mortality events. Our regression-modelling approach to quantifying and comparing species performances in different population processes is applicable to all taxa, as illustrated even those with complex clonal life histories, and can be implemented at wide spatio-temporal and taxonomic coverage. It can promote more accurate representation of species dynamics in both descriptive and predictive modelling approaches. The semi-parametric contrast curve method we develop facilitates comparing response variables along continuous explicative metrics while accounting for multiple sources of complexity in empirical data. It should widely benefit investigations in ecology and quantitative science.

Résumé : International audience
Most tumors undergo metabolic reprogramming towards glycolysis, the so-called Warburg effect, to support growth and survival. Overexpression of IF1, the physiological inhibitor of the F0F1ATPase, has been related to this phenomenon and appears to be a relevant marker in cancer. Environmental contributions to cancer development are now widely accepted but little is known about the underlying intracellular mechanisms. Among the environmental pollutants humans are commonly exposed to, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), the prototype molecule of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), is a well-known human carcinogen. Besides apoptotic signals, B[a]P can also induce survival signals in liver cells, both likely involved in cancer promotion. Our previous works showed that B[a]P elicited a Warburg-like effect, thus favoring cell survival. The present study aimed at further elucidating the molecular mechanisms involved in the B[a]P-induced metabolic reprogramming, by testing the possible involvement of IF1. We presently demonstrate, both in vitro and in vivo, that PAHs, especially B[a]P, strongly increase IF1 expression. Such an increase, which might rely on β2-adrenergic receptor activation, notably participates to the B[a]P-induced glycolytic shift and cell survival in liver cells. By identifying IF1 as a target of PAHs, this study provides new insights about how environmental factors may contribute to related carcinogenesis.
