Résumé : International audience
Maternal affective disorders are frequently treated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor medications (SSRIs); with up to 10% of women being prescribed these medications during pregnancy. Infant development depends on the early serotonergic environment, which is altered by perinatal SSRIs, raising concern about how these medications affect neural outcomes. While clinical and preclinical research suggests an impact of SSRIs on the developing brain, more research is needed to determine the effects on neuroplasticity, the serotonergic system, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in neural regions mediating behavior. The current work investigated the effects of the SSRI, fluoxetine, on the serotonergic system in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during pre-adolescence, and changes to synaptic markers and glucocorticoid receptor density in the cingulate cortex (medial PFC) of pre-adolescent and adult Sprague-Dawley male and female rats. To model aspects of Perinatal Depression and maternal anxiety, pre-gestational maternal stress was used resulting in male and female offspring from 4 groups: 1) control, 2) perinatal fluoxetine exposed, 3) pre-gestational maternal stress exposed, and 4) pre-gestational maternal stress + fluoxetine. Perinatal fluoxetine prevented the effects of maternal stress on 5-HT levels and 5-HT turnover ratio in the PFC of pre-adolescent offspring, particularly in females. However, pre-gestational stress reduced synaptophysin and PSD-95 densities in the cingulate cortex, effects that were more pronounced in males. Interestingly, perinatal fluoxetine exposure reduced GR density in adult males in this same brain area. Together, results show differential effects of perinatal SSRIs and pre-gestational maternal stress on neurodevelopment in the PFC of males and females.

Résumé : International audience
Spermatogenesis is a complex process, dependent upon the successive activation and/or repression of thousands of gene products, and ends with the production of haploid male gametes. RNA sequencing of male germ cells in the rat identified thousands of novel testicular unannotated transcripts (TUTs). Although such RNAs are usually annotated as long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), it is possible that some of these TUTs code for protein. To test this possibility, we used a "proteomics informed by transcriptomics" (PIT) strategy combining RNA sequencing data with shotgun proteomics analyses of spermatocytes and spermatids in the rat. Among 3559 TUTs and 506 lncRNAs found in meiotic and postmeiotic germ cells, 44 encoded at least one peptide. We showed that these novel high-confidence protein-coding loci exhibit several genomic features intermediate between those of lncRNAs and mRNAs. We experimentally validated the testicular expression pattern of two of these novel protein-coding gene candidates, both highly conserved in mammals: one for a vesicle-associated membrane protein we named VAMP-9, and the other for an enolase domain-containing protein. This study confirms the potential of PIT approaches for the discovery of protein-coding transcripts initially thought to be untranslated or unknown transcripts. Our results contribute to the understanding of spermatogenesis by characterizing two novel proteins, implicated by their strong expression in germ cells. The mass spectrometry proteomics data have been deposited with the ProteomeXchange Consortium under the data set identifier PXD000872.

Résumé : International audience
Cell death of hepatocytes is a prominent characteristic in the pathogenesis of liver disease, while hepatolysis is a starting point of inflammation in hepatitis and loss of hepatic function. However, the precise molecular mechanisms of hepatocyte cell death, the role of the cytokines of hepatic microenvironment and the involvement of intracellular kinases, remain unclear. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a key cytokine involved in cell death or survival pathways and the role of RIPK1 has been associated to the TNF-α-dependent signaling pathway. We took advantage of two different deficient mouse lines, the RIPK1 kinase dead knock-in mice (Ripk1K45A) and the conditional knockout mice lacking RIPK1 only in liver parenchymal cells (Ripk1LPC-KO), to characterize the role of RIPK1 and TNF-α in hepatitis induced by concanavalin A (ConA). Our results show that RIPK1 is dispensable for liver homeostasis under steady-state conditions but in contrast, RIPK1 kinase activity contributes to caspase-independent cell death induction following ConA injection and RIPK1 also serves as a scaffold, protecting hepatocytes from massive apoptotic cell death in this model. In the Ripk1LPC-KO mice challenged with ConA, TNF-α triggers apoptosis, responsible for the observed severe hepatitis. Mechanism potentially involves both TNF-independent canonical NF-κB activation, as well as TNF-dependent, but canonical NF-κB-independent mechanisms. In conclusion, our results suggest that RIPK1 kinase activity is a pertinent therapeutic target to protect liver against excessive cell death in liver diseases. © The Author(s) 2016.

Résumé : International audience
Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) is generally considered to be a good prognostic marker because almost 70% of ERα-positive tumors respond to anti-hormone therapies. Unfortunately, during cancer progression, mammary tumors can escape from estrogen control, resulting in resistance to treatment. In this study, we demonstrate that activation of the actin/megakaryoblastic leukemia 1 (MKL1) signaling pathway promotes the hormonal escape of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer cell lines. The actin/MKL1 signaling pathway is silenced in differentiated ERα-positive breast cancer MCF-7 and T47D cell lines and active in ERα-negative HMT-3522 T4-2 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, which have undergone epithelial-mesenchymal transition. We showed that MKL1 activation in MCF-7 cells, either by modulating actin dynamics or using MKL1 mutants, down-regulates ERα expression and abolishes E2-dependent cell growth. Interestingly, the constitutively active form of MKL1 represses PR and HER2 expression in these cells and increases the expression of HB-EGF, TGFβ, and amphiregulin growth factors in an E2-independent manner. The resulting expression profile (ER-, PR-, HER2-) typically corresponds to the triple-negative breast cancer expression profile.

Résumé :
How Quaternary climatic and geological disturbances influenced the composition of Neotropical forests is hotly debated. Rain fall and temperature changes during and/or immediately after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) are thought to have strongly affected the geographical distribution and local abundance of tree species. The paucity of the fossil records in Neotropical forests prevents a direct reconstruction of such processes. To describe community-level historical trends in forest composition, we turned therefore to inferential methods based on the reconstruction of past demographic changes. In particular, we modelled the history of rainforests in the Eastern Guiana Shield over a time scale of several thousand generations, through the application of Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) methods to diversity data at nuclear and chloroplast loci in eight species or subspecies of rainforest trees. Depending on the species and on the method applied, we detected population contraction, expansion or stability, with a general trend in favour of stability or expansion, with changes presumably having occurred during or after the LGM. These findings suggest that Guiana Shield rain forests have globally persisted, while expanding, through the Quaternary, but that different species have experienced different demographic events, with a trend towards the increase in frequency of light-demanding, disturbance-associated species.

Résumé : International audience
We provide new insights into the geochemistry of serpentinites from the Alpine orogenic wedge representing a paleo-subduction zone. These serpentinites are derived from similar oceanic protoliths, but they have experienced different metamorphic conditions related to three different structural levels of the paleo-subduction zone ((1) obducted: Chenaillet ophiolite, (2) accretionary wedge: Queyras Schistes lustrés complex and (3) serpentinite channel: Monviso ophiolite). Metamorphism undergone by these three units is well defined, increasing eastward from sub-greenschist to eclogite facies conditions, and allows us to examine trace element behavior from the oceanic ridge environment to subduction. Serpentinites first record moderate trace element enrichment due to seawater interaction resulting in the replacement of olivine and pyroxene by chrysotile and lizardite below 300 °C. In the sediment-dominated accretionary wedge, serpentinites are strongly enriched in fluid-mobile-elements (B, Li, As, Sb, and Cs) and act as a trapping system following the metamorphic gradient (from 300 to 390 °C) up to total replacement of the lizardite/chrysotile assemblage by antigorite. Under higher temperature conditions (T > 390 °C), no enrichment was observed, and some fluid-mobile elements were released (B, Li, Cs, and Sr). Moreover, in the serpentinite channel (T > 460 °C), most of the fluid-mobile elements are absent due to the scarcity of metasediments which prevent geochemical exchange between metasediments and serpentinites. This is also due to the onset of antigorite breakdown and the release of fluid-mobile elements. Thus, we emphasize that the geochemistry of Alpine serpentinites is strongly dependent on (1) the grade of metamorphism and (2) the ability of metasediments to supply fluid-mobile elements. We conclude that serpentinites act as a trap-and-release system for fluid-mobile elements in a subduction context.

L'espace rural, qui couvre les quatre-cinquièmes de l'Hexagone, n'enregistre que 26 à 28 % des nuitées touristiques et ne reçoit que 22% des dépenses. Peu fréquenté et sous-valorisé, le tourisme vert a pu faire figure de parent pauvre. Cependant, depuis la fin des années 80, les fréquentations croissantes de ces espaces attestent de leur nouvel attrait. Et les records de fréquentation constatés au cours de l'été 1991 ont mis en exergue leurs vertus récréatives. Dans ce contexte, le tourisme peut donc devenir un précieux outil de développement pour certaines campagnes en difficulté. L'exemple de l'Aveyron est représentatif de l'évolution actuelle du tourisme vert, de l'émergence de ce secteur à son insertion dans l'espace d'accueil.

Résumé : International audience
Large-scale periodic undulations within the oceanic and continental lithospheres revealed by a number of observations, are often treated as compressive instabilities, i.e. lithospheric buckling or folding. These undulations are normally associated with intensive faulting, which raises questions on the role of faulting in the folding process, and even on the possibility of folding in highly faulted media. In this study, we demonstrate that folding can "survive" faulting and that both processes may develop concurrently, so that faulting may serve as a mechanism of folding in the brittle domain. We support this hypothesis by direct numerical modeling. The results are compared with the data on three most prominent and well-known cases of the oceanic and continental folding-like deformation ("Indian Ocean" type, "Western Gobi (central Asia)" type and "Central Australian" type). We demonstrate that under reasonable tectonic stresses, folds can develop from faults cutting through the brittle parts of the lithosphere. The predicted wavelengths and nite growth rates are in agreement with the observations. We also show that within a continental lithosphere with thermotectonic age greater than 400 My, either a bi-harmonic mode (two superimposed wavelengths, crustal and mantle one) or a coupled mode (mono-layer deformation) of inelastic folding can develop, depending on the strength and thickness of the lower crust.

Résumé : International audience
Chronic low grade inflammation is closely linked to obesity-associated insulin resistance. To examine how administration of the anti-inflammatory compound indomethacin, a general cyclooxygenase inhibitor, affected obesity development and insulin sensitivity, we fed obesity-prone male C57BL/6J mice a high fat/high sucrose (HF/HS) diet or a regular diet supplemented or not with indomethacin (±INDO) for 7 weeks. Development of obesity, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance was monitored, and the effect of indomethacin on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) was measured in vivo and in vitro using MIN6 β-cells. We found that supplementation with indomethacin prevented HF/HS-induced obesity and diet-induced changes in systemic insulin sensitivity. Thus, HF/HS+INDO-fed mice remained insulin-sensitive. However, mice fed HF/HS+INDO exhibited pronounced glucose intolerance. Hepatic glucose output was significantly increased. Indomethacin had no effect on adipose tissue mass, glucose tolerance, or GSIS when included in a regular diet. Indomethacin administration to obese mice did not reduce adipose tissue mass, and the compensatory increase in GSIS observed in obese mice was not affected by treatment with indomethacin. We demonstrate that indomethacin did not inhibit GSIS per se, but activation of GPR40 in the presence of indomethacin inhibited glucose-dependent insulin secretion in MIN6 cells. We conclude that constitutive high hepatic glucose output combined with impaired GSIS in response to activation of GPR40-dependent signaling in the HF/HS+INDO-fed mice contributed to the impaired glucose clearance during a glucose challenge and that the resulting lower levels of plasma insulin prevented the obesogenic action of the HF/HS diet.

Résumé : International audience
Voltage-gated calcium currents are important for the survival and growth of embryonic cockroach brain neurons in primary culture. In the present experiments, we have studied, using the patch-clamp technique, the evolution with time in culture of the voltage-dependency and of the pharmacological properties of the calcium conductance of these neurons during the formation of a network. We have observed a progressive increase of the high-voltage-activated calcium conductance and a 10mV shift of the voltage-dependency of activation towards more negative potentials. The proportion of the R-like calcium current component increased during network formation. At the same time, the highly omega-AgaTxIVA-sensitive P-like component of the current is progressively replaced by a component which is less sensitive to the toxin. The origin and functional implications of these modifications are discussed.

Résumé : Negative density dependence (NDD) and environmental filtering (EF) shape community assembly, but their relative importance is poorly understood. Recent studies have shown that seedlings mortality risk is positively related to the phylogenetic relatedness of neighbours. However, natural enemies, whose depredations often cause NDD, respond to functional traits of hosts rather than phylogenetic relatedness per se. To understand the roles of NDD and EF in community assembly, we assessed the effects on seedling mortality of functional similarity, phylogenetic relatedness and stem density of neighbouring seedlings and adults in a species-rich tropical forest. Mortality risks increased for common species when their functional traits departed substantially from the neighbourhood mean, and for all species when surrounded by close relatives. This indicates that NDD affects community assembly more broadly than does EF, and leads to the tentative conclusion that natural enemies respond to phylogenetically correlated traits. Our results affirm the prominence of NDD in structuring species-rich communities.

Résumé : Marine fish larvae undergo major morphological and cellular changes during the first month of life. The ontogeny of the gastrointestinal tract combines these two aspects of the larval development and is very interesting in that the timing of functional changes appears genetically hard-wired. The goal of this paper is to give an overview of the gastrointestinal development process in marine fish larvae, with particular attention to three species: sea bass; red drum; and sole, since the description of gut maturation in fish larvae was initiated during the last decade with these species. During the early stages, marine fish larvae exhibit particular digestive features. Concerning the exocrine pancreas, amylase expression decreases with age from the third week post-hatching in sea bass and red drum (approximately 400 degree days), whereas expression of other enzymes (trypsin, lipase, phospholipase A2...) increases until the end of the larva period. Moreover, secretory function of the exocrine pancreas progressively develops and becomes efficient after the third week of life. Concerning the intestine, enzymes of the enterocyte cytosol (in particular peptidase) have higher activity in young larvae than in older. Approximately in the fourth week of post-hatching development in sea bass, red drum and sole larvae, the cytosolic activities dramatically decline concurrently with a sharp increase in membranous enzyme activities of the brush border, such as alkaline phosphatase, aminopeptidase N, maltase... This process characterises the normal maturation of enterocytes in developing fish larvae and also in other vertebrates' species. The establishment of an efficient brush border membrane digestion represents the adult mode of digestion of enterocytes. This paper also describes the role of diet on the development of the gastrointestinal tract. Indeed, the maturational process of digestive enzyme can be enhanced, stopped, or delayed depending on the composition of the diet.

Résumé : International audience
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), if well designed and managed, can produce conservation benefits to fish assemblages within no-take zones and fishery benefits in neighboring areas through ‘spillover’. However, although plenty of studies have provided evidence of the benefits produced within MPA boundaries, overall benefits to local fisheries, especially via spillover, seem to be still unclear. Because of the lost fishing grounds following an MPA establishment, local fishermen usually oppose MPAs. There is, therefore, the urgent need for a better understanding of the mechanism(s) through which MPAs can export fishable fish biomass towards adjacent fished areas, a process that could counterbalance the loss of fishing grounds. Here we review the literature on spillover for refining the terminology, detailing the underlying mechanisms and identifying both the existing and needed methodological approaches to measure spillover. Operationally, two types of spillover should be considered: ecological spillover (i.e. the net export of juvenile, subadult and adult biomass from MPAs outwards driven by density-dependent processes) and the fishery spillover (i.e. the proportion of this biomass that can be fished, taking into account regulations and accessibility). Underwater visual census and tagging/tracking may allow getting evidence of ecological spillover, while experimental catch data are essential to assess and monitor fishery spillover, which is the main component of MPAs that can provide direct benefit to local fisheries.

Résumé : The ovary is not solely the unique source of oocytes necessary for fertilization but also a crucial conductor of endocrine regulations of the reproductive system. In the fetal ovary, oocytes grouped in clusters are surrounded by somatic pre-granulosa cells, altogether delineated by a basement membrane and constituting ovarian cords. The formation of the definitive ovarian functional units requires their fragmentation into follicles formed by a single oocyte surrounded by granulosa cells and delineated by a basement membrane. This partitioning occurs within a tiny period and is dependent on the correct timing of the meiotic process, on an apoptotic wave that specifically targets oocytes and the remodelling of the basement membrane. Follicle formation is a crucial event of ovarian development because the follicle stock formed at the end of this process is non-renewable. Therefore, any disturbance of this process can lead to reproductive abnormalities in adulthood. Recent data on endocrine disruptors displaying estrogenic activity have involved the fragile estrogenic homeostasis in the process. We aimed at better understanding how the endogen estrogen 17b-estradiol (E2) contributes to follicle formation. To assess it, Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with E2 at different doses during follicle formation, /i.e./ in the 3 days following birth. We show that although this treatment impairs the development of the hepatic and ovarian detoxification systems, the female neonate is able to increase its estrogen clearance capabilities. Nevertheless, E2 treatment within this critical period triggers a dose-dependent decrease of oocyte number per ovary. Regardless of the E2 dose, puberty is advanced. All treated females are at least transiently fertile, yet these reproductive capabilities rapidly decline. A high (10 µg/day) dose of E2 leads to a secondary infertility characterized by anovulation that probably result from a dysfunction of the whole reproductive tract. By contrast, a lower (0.1 µg/day) dose of E2, that does not significantly modify neonatal oocyte survival, leads to a progressive reproductive senescence likely due to ovarian failure. Long-term troubles may originate from precocious E2 impact on the ovary since it disturbs ovarian transcriptome and produces many lesions on ovarian cell DNA.
L'ovaire est au cœur de la physiologie de la reproduction féminine. Il est à la fois à l'origine des ovocytes nécessaires à la fécondation et acteur des régulations endocrines du système reproducteur. Les ovocytes de l'ovaire fœtal sont groupés en amas bordés de cellules somatiques et d'une membrane basale, formant les cordons ovariens. Ces cordons ovariens se fragmentent pour former les follicules ovariens: un ovocyte bordé de cellules somatiques et d'une membrane basale. Cette fragmentation se déroule sur une courte période (/in utero/ chez la femme et juste après la naissance chez les rongeurs) et fait intervenir une vague de mort cellulaire programmée touchant les ovocytes pendant leur méiose et un remodelage de la membrane basale. La formation des follicules est une période cruciale du développement ovarien puisque le stock de follicules formés à l'issue de ce processus est non renouvelable. Son altération peut donc être à l'origine de troubles de la fonction de reproduction chez le futur adulte. Il existe une fragile homéostasie œstrogénique en place au moment de la formation folliculaire: chez la femme, l'ovaire se développe /in utero/, sous l'influence des œstrogènes circulants maternels et la production ovarienne fœtale. Chez les rongeurs, les follicules se forment lors de la levée de l'imprégnation hormonale maternelle au moment de la naissance. Nous avons souhaité comprendre comment le 17b-œstradiol (E2), œstrogène endogène, pouvait contribuer à la mise en place des follicules. Pour cela, des rattes Sprague-Dawley ont été traitées pendant la période de formation des follicules avec de l'E2 à différentes doses entre 0.01 et 10 µg/jour. Nos travaux démontrent que le traitement de rattes par des œstrogènes entre leur naissance et 3 jours induit une réduction dose-dépendante de leur nombre d'ovocytes. Bien que le traitement entrave le développement normal du système de détoxication hépatique et ovarien, l'animal est capable d'accroître ses capacités d'élimination des œstrogènes. Ces capacités sont toutefois insuffisantes pour bloquer les effets du traitement. Quelle que soit la dose d'E2 utilisée (0.1 ou 10 µg/jour), la puberté est plus précoce chez les femelles exposées mais toutes sont fertiles, au moins transitoirement. Cependant le traitement induit une dégradation rapide des capacités reproductives. L'E2 modifie la dynamique folliculaire chez l'adulte, longtemps après l'arrêt du traitement. Si une forte dose d'E2 réduit la survie des ovocytes lors de la formation des follicules et conduit à une infertilité secondaire due à un dysfonctionnement général du tractus reproducteur, une dose faible n'affecte pas la survie des ovocytes à court terme mais conduit à une sénescence reproductive précoce vraisemblablement d'origine ovarienne. L'origine de ces troubles pourrait résider dans les effets précoces de l'exposition à E2 : cette molécule altère le transcriptome ovarien et induit de nombreuses lésions de l'ADN des cellules ovariennes.

Résumé : International audience
Home health care workers interventions have been implemented in western countries to improve health status of patients with respiratory diseases especially asthma and allergic illnesses. Twenty-six controlled studies dealing with prevention and control of these diseases through home environmental interventions were reviewed. After a comprehensive description of the characteristics of these studies, the effectiveness of each intervention was then evaluated in terms of participants' compliance with the intervention program, improvement of quality of the indoor environment, and finally improvement of health outcomes, in detailed tables. Limitations and biases of the studies are also discussed. Overall, this review aims at giving a toolbox for home health care workers to target the most appropriate measures to improve health status of the patient depending on his and/or her environment and disease. Only a case-by-case approach with achievable measures will warrant the efficacy of home interventions. This review will also provide to the research community a tool to better identify targets to focus in future evaluation studies of home health care workers action.

Résumé : International audience
During compressive events, deformation in sedimentary basins is mainly accommodated by thrust faulting and related fold growth. Thrust faults are generally rooted in the basement and may act as conduits or barriers for crustal fluid flow. Most of recent studies suggest that fluid flow through such discontinuities is not apparent and depends on the structural levels of the thrust within the fold-and-thrust belt. In order to constrain the paleofluid flow through the Jaca thrust-sheet-top basin (Paleogene southwest-Pyrenean fold-and-thrust belt) this study compares on different thrust faults located at different structural levels. The microstructures in the different fault zones studied are similar and consist of pervasive cleavage, calcite shear veins (SV1), extension veins (EV1) and late dilatation veins (EV3). In order to constrain the nature and the source of fluids involved in fluid-rock interactions within fault zones, a geochemical approach, based on oxygen and carbon stable isotope and trace element compositions of calcite from different vein generations and host rocks was adopted. The results suggest a high complexity in the paleohydrological behaviors of thrust faults providing evidence for a fluid-flow compartmentalization within the basin. Previous studies in the southern part of the Axial Zone (North of the Jaca basin) indicates a circulation of deep metamorphic water, probably derived from the Paleozoic basement, along fault zones related to the major basement Gavarnie thrust. In contrast, in northern part of the Jaca basin, the Monte Perdido thrust fault is affected by a closed hydrological fluid system involving formation water during its activity. The Jaca and Cotiella thrust faults, in turn, both located more to the south in the basin, are characterized by a composite fluid flow system. Indeed, stable isotope and trace element compositions of the first generations of calcite veins suggest a relatively closed paleohydrological system, whereas the late calcite vein generations, which are probably associated with the late tectonic activity of the basin, support a contribution of both meteoric and marine waters. Based on these results, a schematic fluid-flow model is presented. This model allows visualization of three main fluid flow compartments along a N-S transect.

Résumé : International audience
Estrogen receptors (ERs) α and β are distributed in most tissues of women and men. ERs are bound by estradiol (E2), a natural hormone, and mediate the pleiotropic and tissue-specific effects of E2, such as proliferation of breast epithelial cells or protection and differentiation of neuronal cells. Numerous environmental molecules, called endocrine disrupting compounds, also interact with ERs. Phytoestrogens belong to this large family and are considered potent therapeutic molecules that act through their selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) activity. Using breast cancer cell lines as a model of estrogen-dependent proliferation and a stably ER-expressing PC12 cell line as a model of neuronal differentiating cells, we studied the SERM activity of major dietary compounds, such as apigenin, liquiritigenin, daidzein, genistein, coumestrol, resveratrol and zearalenone. The ability of these compounds to induce ER-transactivation and breast cancer cell proliferation and enhance Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) -induced neuritogenesis was assessed. Surprisingly, although all compounds were able to activate the ER through an estrogen responsive element reporter gene, they showed differential activity toward proliferation or differentiation. Apigenin and resveratrol showed a partial or no proliferative effect on breast cancer cells but fully contributed to the neuritogenesis effect of NGF. However, daidzein and zearalenone showed full effects on cellular proliferation but did not induce cellular differentiation. In summary, our results suggest that the therapeutic potential of phytoestrogens can diverge depending on the molecule and the phenotype considered. Hence, apigenin and resveratrol might be used in the development of therapeutics for breast cancer and brain diseases.

Résumé : International audience
Seismic reflection profiles from the sediment rich Alaska subduction zone image short, frontally accreted, imbricate thrust slices and repeated sequences of long, underthrust sheets. Rapid landward increases in wedge thickness, backthrusting, and uplift of the forearc are observed, suggesting underthrusting beneath the wedge. These features and a widely varying frontal wedge morphology are interpreted to be caused by different modes of accretion active concurrently along the trench at different locations. Episodic wedge growth is observed in high basal friction experiments using sand as an analog material. Two phases of an accretionary cycle can be distinguished: frontal accretion of short imbricate thrust slices, alternating with underthrusting of long, undeformed sheets. The phase is shown experimentally to depend upon the surface slope of the wedge. Mechanical analysis of the forces at work predicts these two modes of deformation due to the varying frictional forces and yield strengths for a temporally varying wedge geometry. Maximum length of thrust slices is calculated for experimental conditions and confirmed by the observations. For a steep frontal slope (at the upper limit of the Mohr-Coulomb taper stability field) the overburden is too great to permit underthrusting, and failure occurs repeatedly at the wedge front producing short imbricate slices. The wedge grows forward, lowering the surface angle to the minimum critical taper. For a shallow frontal slope the reduced overburden along an active roof thrust permits sustained underthrusting, causing frontal erosion and backthrusting, steepening the wedge and thus completing the cycle.

Résumé : International audience
Almost all magmas contain sulfide- or sulfate-bearing phases. In most natural samples the sulfur-bearing phase is a sulfide, which typically is pyrrhotite (Fe1−xS) or pyrite (FeS2) although chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), pentlandite ((Fe,Ni)9S8), sphalerite (ZnS) or molybdenite (MoS2) may be present as well. Sulfate minerals are rare at magmatic conditions, and anhydrite (CaSO4) is the most common. Other magmatic SO4-bearing minerals include the sodalite group minerals (haüyne simplified formula: (Na,Ca)4-8(Al6Si6(O,S)24)(SO4,Cl)1-2), scapolite minerals (silvialite: (Ca,Na)4Al6Si6O24(SO4,CO3)), and S-bearing apatite (Ca5(PO4)3(F, Cl, OH)). Barite (BaSO4) has been mentioned in rare cases (Marchev 1991). Sulfur-bearing minerals usually constitute a negligible fraction of the mineral assemblage in magmatic rocks and thus can be classified as accessory minerals. The crystallization of sulfide, sulfate, and S-bearing minerals strongly depends on melt composition, temperature and pressure, and the S speciation in melt which, in turn, is strongly dependent on the prevailing oxygen fugacity (Baker and Moretti 2011, this volume; Wilke et al. 2011, this volume). Irrespectively of the low abundance of S-bearing minerals, the evolution of sulfur in magmas may be evaluated from the occurrence of sulfides and sulfates. These minerals are critical for estimating the activity of various sulfur-bearing species in magmas and can be used to constrain the oxygen fugacity and the S concentration in the melt (e.g., pre-eruptive sulfur concentration in melts). The presence of either sulfide or sulfate in silicate melt indicates that the predominant dissolved sulfur species in the melt are S2− or S6+, respectively. Typically one of these species is dominant, but there are conditions where S2− ...
