Résumé : International audience
Despite a relatively 'uniform' fertile composition (Al2O3 = 2 center dot 19-4 center dot 47 wt %; Fo% = 89 center dot 2 +/- 0 center dot 3%; Cr#(Spl) = 8 center dot 9 +/- 1 center dot 5%), the Montferrier peridotite xenoliths show a wide range of S contents (22-590 ppm). Most sulphides are interstitial and show peculiar pyrrhotite-pentlandite intergrowths and low abundances of Cu-rich phases. Sulphide-rich samples are characterized by strong enrichment in the light rare earth elements and large ion lithophile elements without concomitant enrichment of the high field strength elements. Such trace-element fractionation is commonly ascribed to metasomatism by volatile-rich melts and/or carbonatitic melts. S and Se (11-67 ppb), as well as S/Se (up to approximate to 12 000), are correlated with La/Sm. Cu, however, remains broadly constant (30 +/- 5 ppm). These features strongly suggest that the percolation-reaction of such volatile-rich fluids has led to sulphide enrichment with an atypical signature marked by strong fractionation of the chalcophile elements (i.e. S vs Se and Cu). S-rich xenoliths are also characterized by high (Pd/Ir)(N) (1 center dot 2-1 center dot 9; where subscript N indicates normalized to chondrite), (Pd/Pt)(N) between 1 center dot 5 and 2 center dot 2, and (Os/Ir)(N) up to 1 center dot 85. Despite the relative uniform fertile composition of the xenoliths, Re/Os ranges between 0 center dot 02 and 0 center dot 18. Os-187/Os-188 is extremely variable even within a single sample and can be as high as 0 center dot 1756 for the most S-rich samples. Sulphides show highly fractionated and variable abundances of the highly siderophile elements (HSE) [0 center dot 03 (Pd/Ir)(N) < 1283] and Re-Os isotopic composition (0 center dot 115 < Os-187/Os-188 < 0 center dot 172). Such variation can be observed at the thin-section scale. Whole-rock and in situ sulphide data demonstrate that chalcophile and HSE systematics and the Os isotopic composition of the upper mantle could be significantly modified through metasomatism, even with volatile-rich fluids. These features highlight the complex behaviour of the HSE in fluid-rock percolation-reaction models and suggest a complex interplay between sulphide addition (crystallization or sulphidation) and partial equilibration of pre-existing sulphide. The specific fractionations observed in chemical proxies such as S and Se, Os and Ir, and Pd and Pt, as well as the low abundance of Cu-rich sulphides, suggest that sulphide addition may not have occurred via sulphide melts. Rather, we infer that S was present as a dissolved species in a (supercritical) oxidizing, volatile-rich fluid (C-O-H-S +/- Cl) along with other chalcophile and siderophile elements such as Os, Pd, Re and Au. The highly radiogenic Os composition of this fluid ( Os-187/ Os-188 > 0 center dot 17) would imply that such fluids are derived from an uncommon type of mantle source possibly related to carbonatite melts.

Résumé : En annexes : 10 photographies (vue aérienne du bourg de Maripasoula en 2001, brûlis d'abattis à Loka, plantation et usages du manioc, parcelle de culture d'arachide,...)
Mal connue et souvent anathématisée, l'agriculture itinérante sur brûlis doit être considérée comme une stratégie de subsistance, de populations rurales et forestières, qui est autorégénérante et adaptée aux contraintes édaphiques, économiques et agronomiques. Elle diffère de l'agriculture pionnière par ses logiques économiques et ses incidences agro-écologiques qui affectent et entretiennent différemment la fertilité des milieux. L'article décrit les modalités d'utilisation de la forêt par cette forme d'agriculture au sein de quatre communautés amérindiennes et bushinenge de Guyane. Leur agriculture, principalement tournée vers l'autoconsommation des produits cultivés, doit aujourd'hui faire face à des contraintes spatiales et économiques dont l'importance varie suivant les situations. Celles-ci induisent des changements techniques et des adaptations au sein des organisations sociales dont les impacts sur l'espace forestier diffèrent sensiblement. L'article considère les systèmes agricoles comme des éléments importants de gestion de la biodiversité et il s'interroge sur les limites écologiques de ces systèmes, en particulier lorsque, sous l'effet de la croissance urbaine, des plans de développement et de facteurs sociétaux, la présence humaine augmente et les pratiques agraires s'intensifient.

Résumé : Plant leaf litter generally decomposes faster as a group of different species than when individual species decompose alone, but underlyingmechanisms of these diversity effects remain poorly understood. Because resource C : N: P stoichiometry (i.e. the ratios of these key elements) exhibits strong control on consumers, we supposed that stoichiometric dissimilarity of litter mixtures (i.e. the divergence in C : N: P ratios among species) improves resource complementarity to decomposers leading to faster mixture decomposition. We tested this hypothesis with: (i) a wide range of leaf litter mixtures of neotropical tree species varying in C : N: P dissimilarity, and (ii) a nutrient addition experiment (C, N and P) to create stoichiometric similarity. Litter mixtures decomposed in the field using two different types of litterbags allowing or preventing access to soil fauna. Litter mixture mass loss was higher than expected from species decomposing singly, especially in presence of soil fauna. With fauna, synergistic litter mixture effects increased with increasing stoichiometric dissimilarity of litter mixtures and this positive relationship disappeared with fertilizer addition. Our results indicate that litter stoichiometric dissimilarity drives mixture effects via the nutritional requirements of soil fauna. Incorporating ecological stoichiometry in biodiversity research allows refinement of the underlying mechanisms of how changing biodiversity affects ecosystem functioning.

Résumé : International audience
Chlordecone (Kepone) is an organochlorine insecticide that has been used as insecticide and fungicide. In the French West Indies, Guadeloupe and Martinique, it was intensively applied to banana fields from 1973 to 1993 to control root borers. This pesticide undergoes no significant biotic or abiotic degradation in the environment and is still present in soils where it was applied. It was only in 1999 that health and environmental authorities became aware of the extent of the chlordecone pollution of environmental media, including soils, waterways, and the food chain. Earlier observations and toxicological studies have demonstrated that chlordecone is a reproductive and developmental toxicant, neurotoxic and carcinogenic in rodents, and is an endocrine-disrupting chemical because of its estrogenic properties both in vitro and in vivo. Several surveys have confirmed that the French West Indian population continues to be exposed to this chemical though consumption of contaminated foodstuffs. Here, we report the findings of various epidemiological studies conducted in the French West Indies to assess the impact of environmental exposure to chlordecone on the health of the population.

Résumé : Tropical plant diversity is extraordinarily high at both local and regional scales. Many studies have demonstrated that natural enemies maintain local diversity via negative density dependence, but we know little about how natural enemies influence beta-diversity across habitats and/or regions. One way herbivores could influence plant beta-diversity is by driving allocation trade-offs that promote habitat specialization across resource gradients. We therefore predicted that increasing resource availability should be accompanied by increasing herbivory rates and decreasing plant allocation to defense. Second, relative abundances within plant lineages are predicted to reflect patterns of habitat specialization and allocation trade-offs. A phylogenetic context is vital not only to compare homologous plant traits (including defense strategies) across habitat types, but also to connect evolutionary trade-offs to patterns of species diversification in each phylogenetic lineage. We tested these predictions for trees in white-sand, clay terra firme, and seasonally flooded forests in Peru and French Guiana that represent the range of soil fertility, forest structure, and floristic compositions found throughout the Amazon region. We established 74 0.5-ha plots in these habitats and sampled all trees. Within 12 representative plots we marked newly expanding leaves of 394 saplings representing 68 species, including the most abundant species in each plot in addition to species from five focal lineages: Swartzia and Inga (Fabaceae), Protieae (Burseracaeae), Bombacoideae (Malvaceae), and Micropholis (Sapotaceae). We measured total leaf production rates for each sapling and calculated relative herbivory impact as the ratio between herbivory rate and leaf production rate. Herbivory rates averaged 2.1% per month, did not correlate with leaf production rate, and were similar across habitats. Relative herbivore impacts exceeded leaf production rates for most species. Leaf production rate averaged 2.8%, was significantly higher in seasonally flooded forests than the other two habitats, and exhibited significant correlations with specific leaf area. Species with high herbivory rates exhibited significantly lower relative abundances in terra firme forests. Overall, focal species within lineages present contrasting patterns regarding their herbivory rates and leaf production rate within habitats. These results highlight why a lineage-based approach is necessary when attempting to connect hypotheses regarding evolutionary trade-offs to community assembly patterns.

Résumé : International audience
TRAMIL is a research program applied to the use of medicinal plants in the Caribbean, established in the 1980s. Significant uses of herbal remedies to address self limiting health problems are identified through participatory ethnopharmacological surveys and are the subject of scientific validation. The results are then disseminated to several audiences.While comprising an international scientific contribution to academic research, the TRAMIL network activities value the popular and local knowledge. This fertile relationship between local knowledge and scientific research draws answers to key challenges for Caribbean societies: improving the health of Caribbean populations first and foremost, but also indirectly developing economic prospects in various sectors (agriculture, industry, tourism, and health).The success of TRAMIL is based on a rigorous methodology and on a noteworthy informal network of collaborators invested at different levels of the program, locally and / or regionally. TRAMIL is one of the few trilingual networks that have been active for nearly forty years, well before the popularization of the Internet, in more than twenty Caribbean territories. It involves people and communities, health care professionals, researchers in many disciplines, and information and documentation professionals.This paper proposes to explore these new ways of working together and the accomplishments to which they give rise by presenting some concrete examples of the TRAMIL program in Puerto Rico and examining the program's website and the complex challenges faced by the stakeholders involved in its implementation.
TRAMIL es un programa de investigación aplicada a la medicina popular del Caribe, iniciado en la década de los ‘80. Su trabajo se basa en llevar a cabo encuestas etnofarmacológicas participativas para identificar usos significativos de remedios de plantas, que son objeto de la validación científica, para tratar problemas comunes de salud. La difusión de los resultados de validación de los remedios con uso significativo completa las líneas de acción de TRAMIL. Al tiempo que representan una contribución científica internacional para la investigación académica, las actividades de TRAMIL constituyen la valoración de los saberes populares y locales. Esta relación fecunda entre el conocimiento local y la investigación científica es una respuesta a desafíos fundamentales para las sociedades del Caribe: mejorar la salud de las poblaciones del Caribe directa y en primer lugar, pero también, indirectamente, desarrollar oportunidades económicas en varios sectores (agricultura, la industria, el turismo y la salud).El éxito de TRAMIL se basa en una metodología rigurosa y una importante red informal de colaboradores que participan en diversas funciones del programa, a nivel de país y regional. TRAMIL es una de las pocas redes totalmente trilingües, activa durante casi cuarenta años, mucho antes de la popularización del Internet, en más de una veintena de territorio caribeños. Asocia especialmente a comunidades, profesionales de la salud, investigadores en muchas disciplinas, y profesionales de la información y documentación.Este trabajo tiene como objetivos explorar las modalidades de cooperación y logros sin precedentes de TRAMIL, presentando algunos ejemplos concretos del programa en Puerto Rico y examinar el sitio Web del programa y la complejidad de los desafíos que han enfrentado los actores involucrados en su implementación.
TRAMIL est un programme de recherche appliquée à l’usage des plantes médicinales dans la Caraïbe, né dans les années 1980. Les usages significatifs des plantes pour répondre à des problèmes de santé sont recensés par des enquêtes ethnopharmacologiques participatives puis font l’objet de travaux scientifiques destinés à les valider. Les résultats sont ensuite diffusés auprès de larges publics.Tout en constituant un apport scientifique international à la recherche universitaire, les activités du réseau TRAMIL s’inscrivent dans la valorisation des savoirs locaux. Cette relation fertile entre savoirs locaux et recherche scientifique dessine des réponses à des défis essentiels pour les sociétés caribéennes : l’amélioration de la santé des populations caribéennes de façon directe et en premier lieu, mais également, de façon indirecte, le développement de perspectives économiques dans des secteurs divers (agriculture, industrie, tourisme, santé).Le succès de TRAMIL repose sur une méthodologie rigoureuse et sur un important réseau informel d’acteurs investis à différents niveaux du programme, sur le plan local et/ou pancaribéen. C’est l’un des rares réseaux entièrement trilingue, actifs depuis près de quarante ans (bien avant la popularisation d’internet), dans plus d’une vingtaine de territoire de la Caraïbe. Il associe notamment les populations, les professionnels de santé, les chercheurs dans de nombreuses disciplines, et les professionnels de l’information et de la documentation.La présente contribution propose d’explorer ces modalités de collaboration inédites et les réalisations auxquelles elles donnent lieu, en présentant quelques exemples concrets du programme TRAMIL à Porto Rico, puis en examinant le site internet du programme et les défis complexes auxquels il a confronté les acteurs impliqués dans sa réalisation.

Résumé : The marine environment is of special interest for studying hybridization between closely related taxa because of the high dispersal potential of planktonic larvae, such as those of most bivalve species. The oysters Crassostrea angulata and C. gigas are known to be very close genetically and entirely inter-fertile under controlled conditions. However, hybridization in the wild had not been investigated, mainly due to the lack of nuclear diagnostic markers. In the present paper, we first estimated genetic differentiation between these 2 closely related taxa using 8 microsatellite markers. Interestingly, 5 markers displayed significant differences of allele size between taxa. The subsequent sequencing of alleles of one of these microsatellites showed several mutational events, which suggested null alleles and homoplasy. The presence of 1 insertion/deletion event in its 5' flanking sequence enabled us to design a new bi-allelic ('C' and 'NC') nuclear PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (-RFLP) marker (CG44R). This, together with a mitochondrial DNA marker, was used to analyze populations of C. angulata and C. gigas. The CG44R allele frequencies were very different between C. angulata (f[C] = 0.91) and C. gigas (f[NC] = 0.92) populations. This analysis also provided evidence for hybridization between C. angulata and C. gigas in a wild Portuguese population where the 2 taxa are in contact due to recent transportation of C. gigas stocks for aquacultural production. Our results represent the first indication of hybridization between these 2 taxa in the natural environment, and contribute to knowledge of the evolutionary history of the Crassostrea genus.

Résumé : International audience
The Ronda peridotite massif in Southern Spain shows a well-defined 'recrystallization' front that separates a large-scale partial melting domain formed at the expense of the continental lithospheric mantle from a 'preserved' lithospheric domain. To investigate the processes allowing a transient lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary to propagate in the lithospheric mantle, we performed a joint petrostructural and geochemical study of an similar to 2.5 km(2) zone extending from the melting front to the mylonites that mark the western limit of the massif. This study emphasizes a feedback between heat transfer, melt percolation, and deformation in the lithospheric mantle. Petrographical observations and geochemical data show that heterogeneous reactive percolation of melts produced in the underlying partial melting domain led to refertilization of lithospheric peridotites up to 1.5 km ahead from the melting front, producing metre-scale layering of fertile and refractory mantle rocks. Within 800 m from the front, pre-existing garnet pyroxenite layers were partially molten and the resulting melts probably contributed to the refertilization process. Detailed structural mapping and analysis of the microstructures and crystal preferred orientations highlight the relations between reactive melt transport and deformation, and the control of the temperature gradient on both processes. Parallelism between the recrystallization front, compositional boundaries, and deformation structures, as well as variations in the deformation intensity of pyroxenes and spinels, suggest syn- to late-tectonic melt transport controlled by both the deformation and the thermal gradient. Variations in the strength of olivine crystal preferred orientations as a function of the modal and chemical composition of the spinel tectonites point to a higher contribution of diffusion to deformation in the most fertile rocks, corroborating the hypothesis that deformation occurred in presence of melt. Finally, the systematic dispersion of olivine [100] and orthopyroxene [001] axes in the foliation plane suggests a dominantly transpressive deformation regime.

Résumé : A specific breeding goal definition was developed for Creole goats in Guadeloupe. This local breed is used for meat production. To ensure a balanced selection outcome, the breeding objective included two production traits, live weight (BW11) and dressing percentage (DP) at 11 months (the mating or selling age), one reproduction trait, fertility (FER), and two traits to assess animal response to parasite infection: packed cell volume (PCV), a resilience trait, and faecal worm eggs count (FEC), a resistance trait. A deterministic bio-economic model was developed to calculate the economic values based on the description of the profit of a Guadeloupean goat farm. The farm income came from the sale of animals for meat or as reproducers. The main costs were feeding and treatments against gastro-intestinal parasites. The economic values were 7.69€ per kg for BW11, 1.38€ per % for FER, 3.53€ per % for DP and 3 × 10(-4)€ per % for PCV. The economic value for FEC was derived by comparing the expected profit and average FEC in a normal situation and in an extreme situation where parasites had developed resistance to anthelmintics. This method yielded a maximum weighting for FEC, which was -18.85€ per log(eggs per gram). Alternative scenarios were tested to assess the robustness of the economic values to variations in the economic and environmental context. The economic values of PCV and DP were the most stable. Issues involved in paving the way for selective breeding on resistance or resilience to parasites are discussed.

Résumé : L 'huître creuse japonaise Crassostrea gigas et portugaise C. angulata ont été respectivement décrites par Thunberg (1793) et Lamarck (1819). Mais les similitudes morphologiques et l 'homogénéité des fréquences allozymiques entre populations ont conduit de nombreux auteurs à proposer l'existence d'une seule et mênle espèce. L'analyse récente d'un gène mitochondrial a pennis de déterminer l'origine asiatique de C. angulata, soulignant l'intérêt de l'étude de la différenciation génétique et phénotypique entre les deux taxons. La notion biologique d'espèce a tout d'abord été examinée. Des croisements de 1ère et 2ème génération ont montré la viabilité et fertilité des hybrides. L'analyse de la compétition spennatique par marqueurs microsatellites ne montre pas d'isolement reproductif, mênle partiel et le séquençage du fragment ITS 1 confirme la forte proximité génétique des deux taxons. Les patrons de différenciation génétique observés par marqueurs microsatellites et mitochondriaux apparaissent sitnilaires. L'origine asiatique de C. angulata est donc confinnée. Le fort niveau de polymorphisme des marqueurs microsatellites explique partiellement les plus faibles valeurs observées de différenciation. Une bimodalité des tailles d'allèles microsatellites entre taxons a pennis le développement d'un nouveau marqueur nucléaire, mettant en évidence des phénomènes d'hybridation naturelle dans la zone du sud de l'Europe où l'activité ostréicole met aujourd'hui les 2 taxons en contact. L'étude de caractères phénotypiques a été réalisée en milieu naturel et contrôlé sur des descendances d'écloserie. Les résultats montrent une meilleure croissance de C. gigas et une période de reproduction plus longue chez C. angulata. Des mesures physiologiques montrent un plus fort taux de respiration du naissain C. gigas, ainsi qu'un temps de filtration supérieur chez les adultes. La différence de croissance entre taxons pourraient donc être expliquée par le temps de filtration et l'effort de reproduction.

Résumé : International audience
Spermmotility notably depends on the structural integrity of the flagellum and the regulation ofmicrotubule dynamics. Although researchers have started to use " omics" techniques to characterize the human sperm's molecular landscape, the constituents responsible for the assembly, organization, and dynamics of the flagellum microtubule have yet to be fully defined. In this study, we defined a core set of 116 gene products associated with the human sperm microtubulome (including products potentially involved in abnormal ciliary phenotypes and male infertility disorders). To this end, we designed and applied an integrated genomics workflow and combined relevant proteomics, transcriptomics, and interactomics datasets to reconstruct a dynamic interactome map. By further integrating phenotypic information, we defined a disease-interaction network; this enabled us to highlight a number of novel factors potentially associated with altered sperm motility and male fertility. Lastly, we experimentally validated the expression pattern of two candidate genes (CUL3 and DCDC2C) that had never previously been associated with male germline differentiation. Our analysis suggested that CUL3 and DCDC2C's products have important roles in the sperm flagellum. Taken as a whole, our results demonstrate that an integrated genomics strategy can highlight relevant molecular factors in specific sperm components. This approach could be easily extended by including other " omics" data (from asthenozoospermic men, for example) and identifying other critical proteins from the human sperm microtubulome. Summary Sentence Although researchers have started to use "omics" techniques to characterize the human sperm's molecular landscape, the constituents responsible for the assembly, organization, and dynamics of the flagellum microtubule have yet to be fully defined.

Résumé : En France, ainsi que dans de nombreux autres pays, l'histoire de l'ostréiculture est émaillée d'une succession de phases de développement, de surexploitation et d'apparition de maladies qui perturbent lourdement la profession. Depuis la disparition massive de l'huître portugaise, Crassostrea angulata, victime entre 1969 et 1971 d'une épidémie virale et l'effondrement de l'élevage de l'huître plate Ostrea edulis dû à deux parasitoses, la marteiliose et la bonamiose, l'ostréiculture française connaît actuellement une situation de monoculture de l'huître creuse japonaise Crassostrea gigas, suite à l'introduction de l'espèce entre 1971 et 1975 (Grizel & al. 1991). Pour tenter de remédier à cette situation de monoculture, qui reste une des inquiétudes majeures des professionnels, la région Poitou-Charentes a apporté une aide financière pour la création d'un "conservatoire de souches", implanté dans les locaux du Laboratoire Génétique, Aquaculture et Pathologie de La Tremblade. Les principaux objectifs sont d'étudier les possibilités d'acclimatation des huîtres étrangères dans les eaux françaises afin de diversifier la production ou de préparer une éventuelle substitution à C. gigas en cas d'épizootie majeure, de développer des hybrides intra et inter-spécifiques au sein du genre Crassostrea (performants en ce qui concerne la résistance aux maladies parasitaires, la croissance et la fertilité) et enfin d'effectuer une étude de la différenciation génétique (intra et inter spécifique).

Résumé : International audience
Diffuse contamination of surface water by veterinary pharmaceuticals (VP) has been poorly studied in intensive breeding context. Recycling animal waste on soil is supported to fertilize crops and reduce utilization of mineral fertilizer but may have some environmental impact by recycling pollutants on soils and transferring pollutants from soils to rivers. Most of pharmaceuticals are consumed indifferently by human and animal, especially antibiotics. This study aims to quantify veterinary pharmaceuticals (VP) in superficial water in two agricultural catchments. One is dedicated to the production of drinkable water. Agriculture but also waste water treatment plant may contribute to the contamination of water and it is difficult to distinguish animal versus human source of contamination

Résumé : International audience
Geochemical studies of primitive basalts have documented the presence of crustal-derived garnet pyroxenite in their mantle sources. The processes whereby melts with the signature of garnet pyroxenite are produced in the mantle are, however, poorly understood and somewhat controversial. Here we investigate a natural example of the interaction between melts of garnet pyroxenite derived from recycled plagioclase-rich crust and surrounding mantle in the Ronda peridotite massif. Melting of garnet pyroxenite at ∼1.5 GPa generated spinel websterite residues with MREE/HREE fractionation and preserved the positive Eu anomaly of their garnet pyroxenite precursor in whole-rock and clinopyroxene. Reaction of melts from garnet pyroxenite with depleted surrounding peridotite generated secondary fertile spinel lherzolite. These secondary lherzolites differ from common spinel lherzolite from Ronda and elsewhere by their lower-Mg# in clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene and olivine, lower-Cr# in spinel and higher whole-rock Al2O3, CaO, Sm/Yb and FeO⁎ at a given SiO2. Remarkably, secondary spinel lherzolite shows the geochemical signature of ghost plagioclase in the form of positive Eu and Sr anomalies in whole-rock and clinopyroxene, reflecting the transfer of a low-pressure crustal imprint from recycled pyroxenite to hybridized peridotite. Garnet pyroxenite melting and melt-peridotite interaction, as shown in the Ronda massif, may explain how the signature of subducted or delaminated crust is transferred to the mantle and how a garnet pyroxenite component is introduced into the source region of basalts. The efficiency of these processes in conveying the geochemical imprint of crustal-derived garnet pyroxenite to extruded lavas depends on the reactivity of pyroxenite melt with peridotite and the mantle permeability, which may be controlled by prior refertilization reactions similar to those documented in the Ronda massif. Highly fertile heterogeneities produced by pyroxenite-peridotite interaction, such as secondary spinel lherzolite in Ronda, may nucleate magmatic channels that remain chemically isolated from the ambient mantle and act as preferential pathways for melts with the signature of recycled crust.

Résumé : Les sulfures hydrothermaux, l'aquaculture, l'avenir des forages scientifiques profonds, la coopération franco-allemande, quatre sujets que je voudrais aborder brièvement dans cet éditorial. La présentation des activités franco-américaines sur la dorsale du Pacifique-Est a soulevé un très grand intérêt: le Secrétariat d'Etat à la Recherche, le Ministère de l'Industrie, chacun avec leur vision propre nous pressent d'aller vite et fort dans ce domaine au cours des prochaines années! L'organisation nécessaire se met en place. Un Comité Directeur de trois personnes, J.-P. LENOBLE, un expert de l'Industrie, un expert scientifique désigné par le Ministre des Universités, pilotera deux sous-projets: un sous-projet scientifique que devrait diriger J. FRANCHETEAU, un sous-projet minier plus proprement chargé de voir si face aux techniques appréhendables il pourrait y avoir un «gisement» et quel serait pour le «mineur» l'ampleur approximative de la ressource. De ce dernier point de vue, à la demande du Ministre de l'Industrie, un programme commun CNEXO-IFP lui a déjà été soumis. Il comporte l'adaptation sur le NADIR d'un système de positionnement dynamique nécessaire à un essai de pompage. Mais qui sait si demain géologues et géophysiciens n'utiliseront pas cette possibilité pour mettre en oeuvre des techniques de flexoforage ou de flexocarottage qui ouvriront de nouveaux horizons à leur imagination fertile? Quoiqu'il en soit il faudra savoir trouver le bon équilibre entre ces diverses préoccupations pour bien répondre à ce que l'on attend de nous. [OCR NON CONTRÔLE]

Résumé : International audience
The embryonic development of Tivela mactroides, from fertilization to straight-hinge veliger D-stage larva occurs in 18 hours at 25°C. Scanning electronic observations show that morphogenetic processes result in a gastrula with two depressions 4 hours after fertilization (T0 + 4h). Two hours later, one depression, located at the animal pole, develops into an open cave, the floor of which becomes the shell field located below the lower face of the prototrochal pad. The invagination located at the vegetal pole features the blastopore. At T0 + 6h, the late gastrula has differentiated into a typical motile trochophore with a shell field synthetizing the organic part of the shell. At T0 + 8h, the shell field, located between the prototroch and the telotroch, appears as a saddle-shaped region with a wrinkled surface extending on both sides of the embryo, establishing bilateral symmetry. At T0 + 12h, the prototroch slides toward the anterior region by outgrowth of the shell material. At T0 + 18h, the prodissoconch I formation is completed and the D-stage larvae possess a calcified shell. At this stage of development, the functional velum is composed of four bands of cilia. Our observations seem to confirm the interpretation of shell differentiation proposed recently by Mouëza et al. (2006) for bivalves even if Transmission Electronic observations will be necessary to validate definitively such a model in the Meretricinae sub-family.

Résumé : The first record of interstitial polychaetous annelids dates no more than forty years. Presently, the total number of interstitial species described is about one hundred. Up to the present, the large group of Aphroditoidea includes no interstitial representative. A few samples made by Pr Swedmark and M. Lasserre in Bermudas enable the discovery of an undescribed species of an interstitial Sigalionidae, Pholoe swedmarki Sp. n., together with two other interstitial species of Pisionidae and Syllidae, new to the western tropical atlantic. From a morphological point of view, the comparison of P. swedmarki sp. n. with the other species of the genus reveals some adaptations to the interstitial life: reduction of the body size, reduction or, at the contrary, enlargement of some appendages of the anterior part, lack of pigmentation. From the biological point of view, P. swedmarki sp. n. displays a remarkable group of characteristics : extreme reduction of the eggs numbers, extension of the reproductive period, pregnancy of the embryos and juveniles up to a very late ontogenetical stage. The hypothesis of an intra-elytral pregnancy, involving an internal fertilization, is discussed. By its morphology and biology, P. swedmarki sp. n. forms the first undeniable example of adaptation to the interstitial life among the Aphroditoidea. [NOT CONTROLLED OCR]
La découverte des premières Annélides Polychètes interstitielles remonte à peine à une quarantaine d'années. A l'heure actuelle, le nombre total d'espèces interstitielles décrites est de l'ordre d'une centaine. Jusqu'à présent, le vaste groupe des Aphroditoidea ne comprenait aucun représentant interstitiel. Quelques récoltes effectuées aux Bermudes par le Pr Swedmark et M. Lasserre ont permis de découvrir une espèce inédite de Sigalionidae interstitiel, Pholoe swedmarki sp. n., en compagnie de deux autres espèces de Pisionidae et de Syllidae interstitielles encore inconnues dans l'Atlantique tropical Ouest. Sur le plan morphologique, la comparaison de P. swedmarki sp. n. avec les autres espèces du genre met en évidence un certain nombre d'adaptations à la vie interstitielle : réduction de la taille du corps, réduction ou, au contraire, développement de certains appendices de la région antérieure, absence de pigmentation. Du point de vue biologique, P. swedmarki sp. n. présente un ensemble d'adaptations remarquables : réduction extrême du nombre d'oeufs, allongement de la période de reproduction, gestation des embryons et des jeunes vers jusqu'à un stade ontogénétique très avancé. L'hypothèse d'une gestation intra-élytrale, impliquant une fécondation interne, est avancée. Par sa morphologie et sa biologie, P. swedmarki sp. n. constitue le premier exemple incontestable d'adaptation à la vie interstitielle chez un Aphroditoidea. [OCR NON CONTRÔLE]

Résumé : International audience
Ultraslow spreading at mid-ocean ridges limits melting due to on-axis conductive cooling, leading to the prediction that peridotites from these ridges are relatively fertile. To test this, we examined abyssal peridotites from the Gakkel Ridge, the slowest spreading ridge in the global ocean ridge system. Major and trace element concentrations in pyroxene and olivine minerals are reported for 14 dredged abyssal peridotite samples from the Sparsely Magmatic (SMZ) and Eastern Volcanic (EVZ) Zones. We observe large compositional variations among peridotites from the same dredge and among dredges in close proximity to each other. Modeling of lherzolite trace element compositions indicates varying degrees of non-modal fractional mantle melting, whereas most harzburgite samples require open-system melting involving interaction with a percolating melt. All peridotite chemistry suggests significant melting that would generate a thick crust, which is inconsistent with geophysical observations at Gakkel Ridge. The refractory harzburgites and thin overlying oceanic crust are best explained by low present-day melting of a previously melted heterogeneous mantle. Observed peridotite compositional variations and evidence for melt infiltration demonstrates that fertile mantle components are present and co-existing with infertile mantle components. Melt generated in the Gakkel mantle becomes trapped on short length-scales, which produces selective enrichments in very incompatible rare earth elements. Melt migration and extraction may be significantly controlled by the thick lithosphere induced by cooling at such slow spreading rates. We propose the heterogeneous mantle that exists beneath Gakkel Ridge is the consequence of ancient melting, combined with subsequent melt percolation and entrapment.

Résumé : International audience
Orogenic lherzolites exhibit a specific (although reproducible) platinum-group element signature characterized by slight positive deviations of Pd/Ir, Rh/Ir and Ru/Ir ratios from the canonical chondritic model. Such a signature was alternatively considered to be a compositional feature of the primitive upper mantle or resulting from sulfide melt addition by refertilisation reactions in the continental lithosphere. To shed additional light on this conundrum, the distribution of PGE in FON B 93, an unserpentinized, fertile (3.24% Al2O3) orogenic lherzolite (French Pyrenees) used as in-house standard by our group, has been studied to different scales, from the bulk rock to trace minerals. In addition to new ICPMS analyses after separation into Nis and Te coprecipitation, its whole-rock PGE concentrations were redetermined by three different laboratories using very precise ID-ICP-MS methods after digestion of the sample in Carius tube at T=250 degrees C and 320 degrees C or in high-pressure asher (HPA-S). The four methods produce reproducible Ru, Rh and Pd contents (7.1 +/- 0.18 ppb; 1.43 +/- 0.05 ppb; 7.1 +/- 0.30 ppb) whereas the non-ID NiS-fire assay method underestimates the Os and Ir concentrations by c.a. 10 and 15% compared to ID-ICP-MS analyses (4.40 +/- 0.07 and 4.00 +/- 0.17 ppb, respectively). Platinum was the most difficult to analyse. If performed on powder aliquots smaller than 3 g, the ID-ICP-MS analyses generate strong nugget effects while the non-ID NiS-fire assay method yields statistically lower (but highly reproducible) Pt concentrations (6.92 +/- 0.26 ppb). These features reflect the strong partitioning of Pt into trace phases that SEM and laser ablation-ICP-MS analyses on thin sections identify as both high-temperature Pt-Ir-Os alloys and Pt-(Pd) tellurides of likely subsolidus origin; ten to fifteen grains ranging in maximum dimension from a few micrometres to a few hundreds of nanometers, were identified by standard polished thin section. LA-ICP-MS data on base metal sulfides (25 grains analysed), coupled with the whole-rock S concentration (277 +/- 10 ppm) and modal composition of the BMS (90% pentlandite+accessory pyrite and secondary pyrrhotite + 10% chalcopyrite) allowed the contribution of the BMS phase to the PGE budget of FON B 93 to be estimated. Except Pt that exhibits a 95% deficit in the BMS phase, the PGE concentrations measured by ID-ICP-MS can be balanced by BMS while Al-spinel is a negligible contributor, accounting for less than 0.5% of the Ru budget. The occurrence of Pt in trace phases may bias the whole-rock Pt concentrations because 1) mechanical collection of Pt-rich trace phases remains problematic with the Nis button, and 2) Pt-Ir-Os alloys may be prone to digestion problems in conventional Carius tube procedures. Since they could be stable at mantle depth, such refractory alloys that contain Os and Ir may also have enhanced the heavy PGEs/light PGEs fractionation. Our observations likely pertain to orogenic lherzolites as a whole because BMS assemblages in these mantle rocks record evolution at low sulfur fugacity, which prevents Pt-Ir-Os alloy from entering the Mss in the mantle; moreover, at subsolidus temperature, pentlandite, the major BMS, cannot accommodate 0 valence state Pt.

Résumé : International audience
Leaf dark respiration (R-dark) represents an important component controlling the carbon balance in tropical forests. Here, we test how nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) affect R-dark and its relationship with photosynthesis using three widely separated tropical forests which differ in soil fertility.R-dark was measured on 431 rainforest canopy trees, from 182 species, in French Guiana, Peru and Australia. The variation in R-dark was examined in relation to leaf N and P content, leaf structure and maximum photosynthetic rates at ambient and saturating atmospheric CO2 concentration.We found that the site with the lowest fertility (French Guiana) exhibited greater rates of R-dark per unit leaf N, P and photosynthesis. The data from Australia, for which there were no phylogenetic overlaps with the samples from the South American sites, yielded the most distinct relationships of R-dark with the measured leaf traits.Our data indicate that no single universal scaling relationship accounts for variation in R-dark across this large biogeographical space. Variability between sites in the absolute rates of R-dark and the R-dark : photosynthesis ratio were driven by variations in N- and P-use efficiency, which were related to both taxonomic and environmental variability.
