Résumé : International audience
The ichthyofauna of the Manche-à-Eau mangrove lagoon was regularly sampled in 2002 with a fixed net at seven stations during 4 months corresponding to two hydrological seasons. Physicochemical variables (depth, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH) and population descriptors (species and family richness, density and biomass) were measured. The Whitefield and the well-being indexes were calculated to appreciate species equilibrium. Canonical correspondence analysis and generalized linear models were used to link species assemblages to physicochemical variables and to search for a special link with salinity. A total of 30,733 individuals belonging to 34 species and 23 families were collected. The Gerreidae, Clupeidae, Engraulidae, Scianidae, and Sparidae represented almost 98% of the total number of individuals. Our results show that organization of the fish assemblages in the lagoon is poorly dependent on salinity, whereas dissolved oxygen, temperature, and pH could have a stronger role. Looking at response curves to salinity change, most fishes species appeared to be visitors, either temporarily present or regular migrators. Only a few species compose the year-round resident population. They have a high patrimonial value and could be considered bioindicator species for long-term studies (e.g., of global change and natural or anthropogenic disturbances). The Euclidean distance and biomass variables were not useful descriptors of confinement and biological zonation in the lagoon, whereas the negative gradient of specific richness, number of individuals, Whitefield index, and index of well-being better described confinement. On the basis of these last parameters, biological zonation in the Manche-à- Eau lagoon was established and is provided.

Résumé : The ontogeny of osmoregulationwas investigated in Litopenaeus stylirostris by studying salinity tolerance and osmoregulatory capacity. Shrimp at different larval and postlarval stages were exposed to various salinities and survival was monitored for 24 h. Survival rates exceeded 80% at salinity over 25 ppt (750 mOsm.kg(-1)) at all the stages. At salinities below to 25 ppt, salinity tolerance was higher in nauplii and zoeae than in mysis larvae. Postlarval stages were able to withstand lower salinities, e.g. 6.0 ppt (176 mOsm.kg(-1)) at PL9 stage, but they were more sensitive than larvae to salinities over 35 ppt (1035 mOsm.kg(-1)). Zoea and mysis larvae slightly hyper-regulated at all tested salinities. After metamorphosis, postlarvae progressively acquired the adult pattern of hyper-hypo-osmoregulation: At PL9, the estimated isosmotic salinity was 24.5 ppt (720 mOsm.kg(-1)); below and over this salinity, animals hyper-regulated and hypo-regulated, respectively. Finally, we determine the effects of lowering salinity at different animal development stages. We conclude that seawater salinity (35 ppt) is optimum during larval stages; but for postlarval stages, lowering salinity at 27 ppt leads to a better growth in 19 days compared to those maintained at 35 ppt (1.07 mg vs 0.47 mg). These results are in agreement with penaeid natural life cycle during which larvae are released in oceanic water while juveniles live in coastal areas where salinity is more fluctuant.

Résumé : In many old photographs of downtown Tampa a very close scrutiny will uncover signs hanging from the buildings over the sidewalks with just three letters "ELI". Eli Witt distributed all of the leading brands of cigars manufactured in Tampa as well as brands manufactured in other cities and was very successful in developing sales of these brands. One very serious problem arose out of this success. It seemed that as soon as he had worked a brand of cigars up to where it was in demand, the manufacturer began selling direct to the retailers or to other wholesale firms in the area. This is when Mr. Eli realized that he needed a cigar brand of his own that he could control. He reached this goal in 1918 when he arranged to purchase the Havatampa Cigar Company along with financial help of two of his associates, W. L. Van Dyke who was employed by him in 1907, and D. H. Woodbery whom he had employed in 1910, along with some relatives of these two.

Description : Première romancière guyanaise Lyne Marie Stanley "La saison des abattis" (1996) à Cayenne. La fête danser costumer et masqué à nourri l'imaginaire des auteurs et de leur protagoniste. La salle de bal est souvent décrite comme un lieu mythique, mystérieux propice aux rêves aux intrigues amoureuses, aux rencontres fatales. Lyne Marie Stanley dans "La saison des abattis", dans le chap. 3, s'attache à présenter le bal paré-masqué des "touloulous" : personnage féminin emblématique du carnaval de Guyane. Céphyse, "touloulou" novice découvre l'univers du bal paré-masqué en même temps que l'amour. Elle transgresse les codes établies qui consistent en autre à préserver l?anonymat. La première fonction du déguisement est de garantir l'anonymat du "touloulou" personnage unique du carnaval guyanais." Le frère du "touloulou" est le "tololo" qui signifie en créole guyanais : "ton pénis" Le rôle essentiel de la parade du touloulou est sans doute, de mettre en valeur la femme, de la magnifier, pour en faire un personnage sublimée, à la fois réelle et virtuelle. La représentation du bal paré-masqué dans : "La saison des abattis", est une excellente illustration du concept de transgression, dans le cadre de la fête carnavalesque guyanaise. Pour Jean Thierry Martins, le bal masqué est dans tous les cas un lieu de transgression sémantique.

Résumé : Salinity measurements from 119 surface drifters in 2007-12 were assessed; 80% [Surface Velocity Program with a barometer with a salinity sensor (SVP-BS)] and 75% [SVP with salinity (SVP-S)] of the salinity data were found to be usable, after editing out some spikes. Sudden salinity jumps are found in drifter salinity records that are not always associated with temperature jumps, in particular in the wet tropics. A method is proposed to decide whether and how to correct those jumps, and the uncertainty in the correction applied. Northeast of South America, in a region influenced by the Amazon plume and fresh coastal water, drifter salinity is very variable, but a comparison with data from the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity satellite suggests that this variability is usually reasonable. The drifter salinity accuracy is then explored based on comparisons with data from Argo floats and from thermosalinographs (TSGs) of ships of opportunity. SVP-S/SVP-BS drifter records do not usually present significant biases within the first 6 months, but afterward biases sometimes need to be corrected (altogether, 16% of the SVP-BS records). Biases start earlier after 3 months for drifters not protected by antifouling paint. For the few drifters for which large corrections were applied to portions of the record, the accuracy cannot be proven to be better than 0.1 psu, and it cannot be proven to be better than 0.5 psu for data in the largest variability area off northeast South America. Elsewhere, after excluding portions of the records with suspicious salinity jumps or when large corrections were applied, the comparisons rule out average biases in individual drifter salinity record larger than 0.02 psu (midlatitudes) and 0.05 psu (tropics).

Résumé : In coastal carbonate aquifers submitted to a saline intrusion, water - rock interactions processes at the interface between freshwater and saltwater are a cause for heterogeneities development within the porous media. The dissolutions and precipitations induced by the mixing zone play a major role in the transport properties of the reservoir and so in the long term evolution of the saltwater intrusion. The characterization and the in situ observation of a current saline intrusion in the Llucmajor carbonate platform at the experimental site of Ses Sitjoles (South-Easth of Mallorca Island, Spain), allowed to study the temporal evolution of the saltwater intrusion and the biogeochemical processes active in the mixing zone. The influence of microstructure, characterized using X-Ray microtomography, on the petrophysical and flow properties was investigated in laboratory and flow-through experiments were also conducted to study the modifications of the microstructures when submitted to water - rock interactions processes. The mixing zone at the Ses Sitjoles site appears as quite thick and not very sensitive to climate and anthropic stress and is proved to be the locus of active microbiological activity. Laboratory studies highlight a strong control of the microporosity on transport processes and of pCO2 on water - rock interactions. The percolation experiments of slightly reactive waters reveal calcite dissolution together with a decrease in permeability due to a rearrangement of micro-grains within the microporous network.
Les processus d'interactions fluide-roche à l'interface eau douce-eau salée, dans les aquifères carbonatés côtiers soumis à une intrusion saline, sont une des causes du développement d'hétérogénéités dans la structure du milieu poreux. Les dissolutions et/ou précipitations engendrées par la présence de cette zone de mélange jouent un rôle déterminant pour les propriétés de transport du réservoir et donc l'évolution à long terme de l'intrusion d'eau salée. En prenant l'exemple de la plateforme carbonatée de Llucmajor au niveau du site expérimental de Ses Sitjoles (Sud-Est de Majorque, Espagne), un travail de caractérisation et d'observation in situ à moyen terme de l'intrusion saline actuelle de ce réservoir permet de décrire son évolution temporelle et les processus biogéochimiques actifs dans la zone de mélange. L'influence de la microstructure du milieu poreux, caractérisée par microtomographie RX, sur les propriétés pétrophysiques et hydrodynamiques est étudiée en laboratoire et des expériences de percolations d'eaux réactives (mélanges eau douce - eau salée et eau pure chargée en CO2) sont réalisées afin d'étudier les modifications de ces microstructures lorsqu'elles sont soumises à des interactions eau - roche. La zone de mélange eau douce - eau salée rencontrée au niveau du site de Ses Sitjoles est large et peu sensible aux contraintes extérieures (climatologiques et anthropiques) et constitue un lieu d'activité microbiologique particulièrement actif. En laboratoire, on observe un fort contrôle des phénomènes de transport par la microporosité et des processus d'interactions eau - roche par la pCO2. Dans le cas d'une percolation de fluides moyennement réactifs, les expériences mettent en évidence une dissolution de calcite accompagnée par une diminution de la perméabilité, liée à un réarrangement des micro-grains à l'intérieur du réseau microporeux.

Résumé : National audience
Introduction L’objectif de cette étude est de disposer de données qualitatives et quantitatives sur la contamination de l’environnement intérieur hospitalier, microbiologique et chimique, afin d’évaluer l’exposition du personnel, des visiteurs et des patients et la variabilité spatio-temporelle de la contamination. Méthodes L’étude s’est déroulée dans différents lieux des CHU de Rennes et de Nancy : hall d’accueil, salle de soins infirmiers, salle de réveil post-opératoire, chambre d’un patient, unité de désinfection des endoscopes, laboratoire de parasitologie et salle de découpe de plâtres. Deux campagnes de prélèvement ont eu lieu en été 2014 et en hiver 2015. Les méthodes de prélèvement étaient nombreuses et complémentaires (Fig. 1). L’analyse des données a été réalisée sous IBM SPSS grâce au test de Mann-Whitney et le coefficient de corrélation de Pearson. Résultats Les concentrations d’aldéhydes, de composés organiques volatils (COV) et semi-volatils étaient faibles à très faibles dans les 2 établissements. Étaient détectables, mais sans différences globales entre les 2 établissements : la contamination fongique (m = 226 UFC/m3 ; p = 0,97) ou bactérienne (m = 352 UFC/m3 ; p = 0,14), les particules PM2,5 (m = 2,1 μg/m3 ; p = 0,97) et PM10 (m = 6,6 μg/m3 ; p = 0,84). Sur le plan saisonnier, la contamination fongique était plus importante en été pour les 2 établissements (p = 0,002). La contamination bactérienne ne varie pas significativement entre les locaux (p = 0,14) contrairement à la contamination fongique (p = 0,02) et particulaires PM2,5 (p = 0,01) ou PM10 (p = 0,01). Cette dernière est plus importante dans le hall (m = 879 UFC/m3), le laboratoire de parasitologie (m = 333 UFC/m3) et la salle de plâtre (m = 310 UFC/m3). Nous ne retrouvons pas de corrélation significative entre le nombre de personnes, le taux de CO2, l’humidité relative et le dénombrement bactérien ou fongique. Néanmoins nous retrouvons une relation forte entre la température du local et la contamination bactérienne (r = 0,7, p = 0,008) ou la contamination fongique (r = 0,56, p = 0,045) d’une part, et entre la contamination fongique et les PM10 (r = 0,52, p = 0,022) d’autre part. Conclusion Notre étude montre une très faible contamination par les aldéhydes, COV et sCOV comparativement à d’autres lieux publics. La forte variabilité spatio-temporelle de la contamination fongique et particulaire est liée à la saison, à l’activité et à la ventilation

Résumé : Reconstruction of Northern African monsoon between 6.2 and 4.9 Ma and possible relationships with Late Miocene events. Mineralogical and geochemical investigations have been realized on ODP Site 659 in order to better understand the detrital sedimentation of the Cap Verde plateau and to reconstruct African monsoon intensity variations between 6.2 and 4.9 Ma. Time intervals corresponding to an intensification of the summer African monsoon rainfall are associated to a reduction of eolian input from the Sahara and an intensification of the African river input. The reflooding of the Mediterranean Sea at the end of the Messinian salinity crisis (MSC) (5.33 Ma) is correlated to a greater aridity in the Sahara.

Résumé : International audience
The coastal sediments of Rhodes in the eastern Mediterranean have recorded transgression-regression cycles that took place during the early Pleistocene. The sedimentary deposits from the Kritika Member of the Rhodes Formation consist in conglomerates, sandstones, siltstones and clays deposited in brackish to shallow marine environments. Faunal associations are dominated by molluscs and reveal rapid ecological changes. Carbon and oxygen isotope ratios of aquatic skeletal carbonates show that these ecological changes were most likely driven by large salinity changes while water temperature remained rather constant at about 22.0 ± 1.5 °C. The tectonic activity of the island rather than glacio-eustatic variations of climatic origin is advocated to be responsible for the ecological and salinity changes and sea-level variations recorded in the sedimentary sequence.

Résumé : Estuarine systems are complex environments where seasonal and spatial variations occur in concentrations of suspended particulate matter, in primary constituents, and in organic matter content. This study investigated in the laboratory the flocculation potential of estuarine-suspended particulate matter throughout the year in order to better identify the controlling factors and their hierarchy. Kinetic experiments were performed in the lab with a "video in lab" device, based on a jar test technique, using suspended sediments sampled every 2 months over a 14-month period at three stations in the Seine estuary (France). These sampling stations are representative of (1) the upper estuary, dominated by freshwater, and (2) the middle estuary, characterized by a strong salinity gradient and the presence of an estuarine turbidity maximum. Experiments were performed at a constant low turbulent shear stress characteristic of slack water periods (i.e., a Kolmogorov microscale > 1,000 A mu m). Flocculation processes were estimated using three parameters: flocculation efficiency, flocculation speed, and flocculation time. Results showed that the flocculation that occurred at the three stations was mainly influenced by the concentration of the suspended particulate matter: maximum floc size was observed for concentrations above 0.1 g l(-1) while no flocculation was observed for concentrations below 0.004 g l(-1). Diatom blooms strongly enhanced flocculation speed and, to a lesser extent, flocculation efficiency. During this period, the maximum flocculation speed of 6 A mu m min(-1) corresponded to a flocculation time of less than 20 min. Salinity did not appear to automatically enhance flocculation, which depended on the constituents of suspended sediments and on the content and concentration of organic matter. Examination of the variability of 2D fractal dimension during flocculation experiments revealed restructuring of flocs during aggregation. This was observed as a rapid decrease in the floc fractal dimension from 2 to 1.4 during the first minutes of the flocculation stage, followed by a slight increase up to 1.8. Deflocculation experiments enabled determination of the influence of turbulent structures on flocculation processes and confirmed that turbulent intensity is one of the main determining factors of maximum floc size.
