Résumé : International audience
We investigate the timing of end of motion along the South Tibet Detachment System (STDS), a major normal fault system that runs parallel to the Himalayan range for more than 1500 km. Near Dinggye (similar to 28 degrees 10'N, 87 degrees 40'E), the STD dips similar to 10 +/- 5 degrees to the North and separates Paleozoic Tethyan series from Upper Himalayan Crystalline Series (UHCS). Immediately below the STD, the UHCS is highly deformed in the STD shear zone, lineations trend NNE and the shear senses are top to the NE. In micaschist, the P-T path constrained by pseudosection and garnet chemistry, shows successive metamorphic conditions of similar to 0.6 GPa and similar to 550 degrees C and 0.5 GPa and 625 degrees C. U/Pb dating of monazites and zircons in deformed and undeformed leucogranites suggests that ductile deformation lasted until at least similar to 16 Ma but ended prior to similar to 15 Ma in the STD shear zone similar to 100 m below the detachment. Ar/Ar micas ages in the footwall span between similar to 14.6 and 13.6 Ma, indicating rapid cooling down to similar to 320 degrees C, and suggesting persistence of normal faulting, at that time. The STDS is cut and offset by the N-S trending Dinggye active normal fault which initiated prior to 11 Ma thus providing a minimum bound for the end of STDS motion. These data are interpreted as reflecting 0.3 GPa (11 km) to 0.6 GPa (22 km) of exhumation along the STDS starting prior to similar to 16 Ma, ending between 13.6 and 11 Ma. The 1000 km long stretch of the STDS east of the Gurla Mandata probably stopped almost synchronously between 13 and 11 Ma ago, coevally with a sudden switch from NNE-SSW to E-W extension at the top of the accretionary prism, with a jump of the major thrust from the lower Main Central Thrust (MCTI) to the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT), and with a change in the India and Asia convergence direction. This synchronism is probably better explained in the frame of a thrust wedge or thrust system model than a lower channel flow model. West of the Gurla Mandata the STDS appears to stop 5 to 3 Ma earlier, possibly related to local interactions with the Karakorum fault in a way that needs to be understood.

Résumé : La France a initié les premières études de biotechnologies en rapport avec l’aquaculture, les produits et sous-produits de la pêche et l’environnement, il y a plus de 30 ans. Mais le tournant s’opère réellement en 1990 lorsque le spectre des molécules étudiées s’élargit. Grâce aux apports de la génomique et des souchothèques, les perspectives pour l’environnement et la santé s’annoncent très prometteuses pour l’Ifremer.

Résumé : Since its apparition at the end of the second world word, the practice of sport for people suffering with motor deficiency has known numerous and quick evolutions. Initially conceived in the science of rehabilitation therapy, it now integrates more and more the principle of performance by getting closer to “ordinary” sport movements. However, this process of sportivisation is variable depending on the social and cultural context in which it is taking place. Initiated at the start of the 1970’s, Guadeloupe’s Movement for Sport for People with motor impairments has been meeting recurring difficulties in how to organise and federate itself. During this work, we have conducted a survey directly with the local disabled sport associations. Meetings with the principal actors of this movement had been taking place, archives had been gathered and both direct and participative observations had been carried out in order to retrace the collective history and to identify the individual theories utilised in the formation of Guadeloupe’s Movement for Sport for Disabled People. For this we have used the tools of the socio-history and of the organizational analysis and handled the speeches with an analyse of the relationship by opposition (ARO). The main results bring to light that the associative dynamics which structure the sport practices of Guadeloupe’s disabled people are impregnated by a sport logic combined with social, cultural and identity stakes. Therefore the principal thesis defended in the process of the research is that the organisation of Guadeloupe’s Movement for Sport for Disabled People is impregnated by the highly contextual strategies where the identities -sport, Caribbean, disabled- produces some very particular adjustments.
Depuis son apparition à la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, la pratique sportive des personnes atteintes de déficiences motrices a connu de nombreuses et rapides évolutions. Conçue initialement dans une logique rééducative, elle intègre de plus en plus le principe de performance en se rapprochant du mouvement sportif « ordinaire ». Toutefois, ce processus de sportivisation est variable selon l’espace social et culturel dans lequel il se réalise. Initié dans les années 1970, le mouvement handisportif guadeloupéen rencontre des difficultés récurrentes à s’organiser et à se fédérer. Au cours de ce travail, nous avons réalisé une enquête de terrain auprès des associations handisportives locales. Des entretiens avec les acteurs principaux de ce mouvement ont été conduits, des archives recueillies et des observations directes et participantes effectuées afin de retracer l’histoire collective et de repérer les logiques individuelles mobilisées dans la structuration du mouvement handisport en Guadeloupe. Pour cela nous avons utilisé des outils de la socio-histoire et de l’analyse organisationnelle et traité les discours au travers d’une analyse des relations par opposition (ARO). Les principaux résultats mettent en évidence que les dynamiques associatives structurant la pratique sportive des personnes handicapées motrices en Guadeloupe sont imprégnées par une logique sportive doublée d’enjeux sociaux, culturels et identitaires. Ainsi, la thèse principale défendue au terme de cette recherche est que l’organisation du mouvement handisport en Guadeloupe est marquée par des stratégies fortement contextualisées où la conjugaison des identités – sportive, antillaise, de personne handicapée - produit des ajustements singuliers.

Résumé : In 1998, the French and Spanish tuna-boat owners associations have volentarily reconducted the Atlantic tuna protection plan (also called moratorium) initiated the previous year. This plan which has become an iccat recommendation for 1999, consists mainly in preventing fishing on floating objects (logs) and in having observers on board tuna purse seiners. Data collected by these observers and landing statistics allow to draw preliminary conclusions on some effects of the protection plan, on the fleets and on the Atlantic tuna stocks. Largely respected, the moratorium has led to a spatial redistribution of the fishing effort, an important reduction of the proportion of sets on logs and a decrease of the landings by one third compared to those realised the years before during the same months, particularily for the skipjack and the bigeye tunas. Moreover, data collected allow to calculate catch rates for a number of by-catch species in the purse seine fishery.

Résumé : Cet article se réfère à ce que certains auteurs nomment, au Brésil, «nouveaux territoires» qui, depuis les débats lors de la Constituante fédérale de 1988, ont pris place, totalement ou partiellement, dans les circonscriptions tels qu’un État, une Commune, un District. Ce texte aborde deux types de réserves de conservation environnementale: une « réserve extractiviste » conquise par des populations rurales riveraines au confluent des fleuves Xingu et Amazone; et une « réserve marine» de populations rurales côtières – les deux à l’État du Pará. Au Brésil comme en Europe, ces initiatives ont visé un meilleur mode de vie et le développement des populations locales et, éventuellement, par surplus, régionales ou nationales. Au Brésil, ces objectifs ont été liés au droit à l’usage collectif des forêts, des bois, des cours d’eau et des mangroves. À des degrés différents, ces territoires sont issus de luttes pour la défense des ressources qui étaient la source de la subsistance de leurs habitants, de leur mode de vie et culture, en un mot, leur patrimoine – contre la pénétration d’« étrangers » venus d’ailleurs en dépit de la loi et de la légitimité: entreprises du bois, de grands élevages et de pêche. Ce texte cherche à confronter, au niveau de l’analyse sociologique, des intérêts de groupes, des acteurs, des stratégies des uns et des autres et de leurs perspectives pour les actuelles et futures générations.
This article refers to what some writers call, in Brazil, "new territories". Since the debates during the Federal Constitution elaboration, in 1988, they have been implemented, wholly or partly, within the jurisdiction of a state, a municipality, or a district. This paper addresses two types of environmental conservation reserves: an "extractive reserve" conquered by rural people at the confluence of the rivers Xingu and Amazon; and a "marine reserve" of rural populations on the northern coast of Brazil - both in the federal state of Pará. In Brazil as in Europe, these initiatives aim at better living standards and collective development of local populations. In Brazil, these have been linked to the respect of their collective rights to use the forests, wood, water streams and mangroves. To varying degrees, these territories result from struggles in defense of natural resources that were source of livelihood, lifestyle and culture of the inhabitants, in short, their heritage – against the invasion of "foreigners", timber companies, large farms and fishers. This text contrasts, through sociological analysis, the interest groups, the stakeholders, the challenges and their development prospects vis-à-vis the present and future generations.

Résumé : In this paper we study merosity in the genus Urospatha within the framework of a resolved phylogeny of the Araceae. We analyse how a transition from dimerous or tetramerous merosity to pentamerous or hexamerous merosity can occur developmentally in the Lasioideae. In Urospatha, initiation of floral primordia along the inflorescence is acropetal, while development of flowers is basipetal. This indicates the presence of two distinct phases in the development of the Urospatha inflorescence. The first phase corresponds to initiation of flowers and establishment of the phyllotactic pattern, and the second phase to differentiation of floral organs. Urospatha is characterized by the presence of trimerous, tetramerous, pentamerous and rarely hexamerous flowers. In all types of flowers, the stamens are closely associated and opposite to the tepals. Pentamerous flowers are formed by addition of a sector comprising a stamen and tepal. Likewise, in the case of hexamerous flowers, two sectors are added. In the Lasioideae, the increase in the number of tepals and stamens is linked with two developmental processes that have appeared independently in the subfamily: (1) addition of one or two stamen-petal sectors (Anaphyllopsis and Urospatha), and (2) independent increase in the number of tepals and stamens on whorls, more or less organized and inserted in alternate position (Dracontium). Tetramerous whorls as they occur in basal Lasioideae would be homologous to two dimerous whorls from an evolutionary point of view.

Résumé : Acoustic and core data have recently been collected on the shelf break and the upper part of the slope of the south Aquitaine continental margin. They reveal the major role played by mass-flow gravity processes in deposit erosion and redistribution, modelling of the sea-bed, and transfer of sediment toward the deep-sea. The study region is bounded in the south by the Capbreton canyon. The northern area, which shows a smooth morphology, is characterised by small-scale deformations due to sediment creep or low-amplitude slide processes. The deformations are associated with mini listric-like faults that bound packets of sediments in which the deposit geometry is typical of constructional sediment waves. These sediment waves result from the interaction of depositional and gravity deformation processes. In the southern area, closer to the canyon, wave-like structures are still present but mostly of smaller size. They only result from gravity deformation processes without any evidence of constructional processes. In the vicinity of the Capbreton canyon, the shelf break and upper slope have a much more uneven morphology with sedimentary reliefs, escarpments and depressions directed toward the canyon thalweg. The depressions look like slide scars, and could be the result of regressive slides initiated at the top of the canyon flank. The age of the sliding event responsible for the formation of the depression observed today could be middle to upper Quaternary. Since their formation, these depressions act as conduits that channel the transfer of shelf sediment into the canyon, as demonstrated by the occurrence of a meandering channel on the sea-floor of one depression.

Résumé : The aquaculture of Macrobrachium rosenbergii is launched in Martinigue by the regional council in 1976. A first "green water" type hatchery is built and provides juveniles to the first ponds. In 1978, CNEXO is asked to cooperate in scientific assistance. A new hatchery is built with COP "clear water" system and produces in 1980. The development of ponds (20 ha) needs the increase of the hatcheries capacity, which is now done with one single method and intensive larval first stage (7-8 millions PL. cap). In Guadeloupe, the first ponds started in 1978. Two cooperatives and 11 ha of ponds at this time have determined the construction of CNEXO in the construction of a regional hatchery. A small light one is already under production since July 83.
L'aquaculture du Macrobrachium rosenbergii débute en Martinique en 1976 à l'initiative du Conseil Rëgional7~0ne premiere écloserie type "eau verte" est construite et ensemence les premiers bassins. En 1978, le CNEXO est sollicité pour apporter son concours scientifique qui se traduit par la construction d'une seconde écloserie type COP "eau claire", opérationnelle en 1980. Le développement des bassins (20 ha) entraîne celui des écloseries, unifiées en 1983 par une méthode unique enrichie d'un prégrossissement larvaire permettant une capacité de 7 à 8 millions de PL.. En Guadeloupe, le développement des premiers bassins date de 1978. Les deux coopératives actuelles et les 11 ha de bassins ont entraîné l'apparition de 2 écloseries privées et, après accord de toutes les parties, l'intervention du CNEXO pour la construction d'une écloserie à vocation régionale précédée d'une petite écloserie provisoire en fonctionnement depuis juillet 1983.

Résumé : International audience
Objective Oxidative stress, excess production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and intense colonization of the respiratory tract by microorganisms are described in CF patients, leading to an influx in macrophages. This results in activation of NADPH oxidase that yields ROS, initiating the oxidative burst responsible for pathogen destruction. We showed that phagocytosis was altered in CF macrophages, yet oxidative status in this cell was not defined. The objective of this study is to draw a link between oxidative stress and plasma membrane integrity in CF macrophages, since lipid peroxidation is known to alter cell membrane. Methods Peripheral blood monocytes-derived macrophages were obtained from CF patients and healthy subjects. Plasma membrane fluidity was assessed with di4-ANEPPDHQ and oxidative status was measured with ROS indicating probes. Results In CF macrophages, membrane fluidity was increased whereas lipid peroxidation was diminished. Surprisingly, general oxidative status remained similar to the one observed in non-CF macrophages. Also, CF macrophages did not abolish chemically induced-oxidative stress. In non-CF macrophages, treatment with cholesterol slightly increased membrane fluidity whereas LPS treatment had no effect. Conclusion CF macrophages displayed an increased membrane fluidity associated with a decreased lipid peroxidation. This raises the hypothesis that membrane alteration in CF macrophages may be due to other mechanism than oxidative stress. Nevertheless, since the killing capacity of CF macrophage is defective, a deregulation of O•−2 production is very likely, suggesting alteration of NADPH oxidase or mitochondrial dysfunction

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
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a significant problem in the Caribbean, where many individuals have African and Asian forebears. However, reliable prevalence data and specific health care programs for SCD are often missing in this region. Closer collaboration between Caribbean territories initiated in 2006 to set up strategies to promote better equity in the health care system for SCD patients led to the formation of CAREST: the Caribbean Network of Researchers on Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia. We present the effectiveness of collaborations established by CAREST to promote SCD newborn screening programs and early childhood care, to facilitate health worker training and approaches for prevention and treatment of SCD complications, and to carry out inter-Caribbean research studies.

Résumé : La tuberculose (TB), maladie infectieuse contagieuse, est causée par une mycobactérie appartenant au complexe Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTBC). Malgré de nombreuses campagnes de vaccination par le BCG (Bacilles de Calmette et Guérin) et les traitements antituberculeux, on observe une réémergence de la maladie depuis les années 80. Ce bouleversement s’explique par la coïnfection avec le virus du VIH/SIDA, la désorganisation des systèmes de santé et par l’apparition des bactéries résistantes aux principaux antibiotiques antituberculeux. Dans ce contexte une meilleure connaissance des mouvements et de l’évolution des clones circulants du bacille tuberculeux permettrait de détecter plus rapidement et de façon plus pertinente l’émergence d’épidémies. Le contrôle et la surveillance de la maladie représentent des moyens essentiels pour lutter contre l’expansion mondiale de la tuberculose. C’est ainsi que l’unité de la Tuberculose et des Mycobactéries de l’Institut Pasteur de la Guadeloupe (IPG) a mis en place une base de données de profils génotypiques pour l’étude de l’épidémiologie globale de la tuberculose. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, nous décrirons les méthodes de bioinformatique qui ont été utilisées pour la gestion et l’exploitation de la 6ème version (SITVIT2) de cette base de données des génotypes pour mieux comprendre l’évolution et la dissémination mondiale du bacille tuberculeux. Cette base intègre aussi plusieurs marqueurs moléculaires tels que les MIRU-VNTRs (« mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units-variable number of tandem repeats ») et le Spoligotype43 servant à mieux décrire et identifier les familles de profils génotypiques du MTBC. La banque de données SITVIT2 ne cesse d’évoluer, et elle contient actuellement des informations épidémiologiques sur 111 635 isolats cliniques. Cette base de données est consultable en ligne à l’adresse suivante : http://www.pasteur-guadeloupe.fr:8081/SITVIT2/. Nous avons également réalisé une base de données nommée SITVITBovis qui est dédiée à la tuberculose bovine. Cette base de données sera accessible à l’adresse : http://www.pasteur-guadeloupe.fr:8081/SITVIT_Bovis/. Parallèlement au développement et à la gestion des bases de données, ce travail de thèse s’est appuyé sur plusieurs études épidémiologiques et phylogéographiques mettant en corrélation les données disponibles sur la résistance aux médicaments ou les caractéristiques démographiques (dont le sexe, l’âge, le statut VIH, et l’origine du patient). Notre initiative de recherche permet ainsi d’améliorer la caractérisation phylogénétique détaillée des lignées du MTBC, ainsi que l’épidémiologie des clones en circulation, afin d’élaborer une cartographie géographique des isolats cliniques prédominants pour les bacilles tuberculeux principalement impliqués dans la maladie, à l’échelle nationale, régionale et mondiale. La superposition ultérieure de ces cartes avec des données sociopolitiques, économiques et démographiques obtenues auprès de Systèmes d’information géographique (SIG) ont permis de dresser un portrait précis des disparités actuelles par pays ou sous-région. Cette thèse représente une importante collaboration avec plusieurs équipes de chercheurs travaillant également dans le domaine de l’épidémiologie moléculaire de la tuberculose. L’objectif à long terme de ce travail, est d’optimiser la structure de la base, et de pérenniser l’enrichissement de celle-ci (notamment par l’automatisation et la facilité de la saisie de données). Une représentation optimale et une meilleure accessibilité des données de la base conforteraient les efforts faits pour le contrôle et la surveillance de la TB dans monde.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infectious disease caused by mycobacteria belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Despite numerous campaigns of vaccination by the BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) vaccine, and TB treatments, there was a resurgence of the disease since the 80s. This disruption is due to coinfection with HIV/AIDS, disorganization of health systems and the emergence of bacteria resistant to anti-TB drugs. In this context, a better understanding of the movements and changes of circulating clones of tubercle bacilli would detect faster and more relevant emerging epidemics. The control and monitoring of the disease are essential means to fight against the worldwide spread of tuberculosis. Thus the TB and Mycobacteria unit of the Pasteur Institute of Guadeloupe (IPG) has developed a database of genotypic profiles for the study of global epidemiology of tuberculosis.In this thesis, we discuss the Bioinformatical methods that have been used for the management and development of the 6th version (SITVIT2) of this database of genotypes to better understand the evolution and global dissemination of the tubercle bacillus. The database also includes several molecular markers such as MIRU-VNTRs (mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units- variable number of tandem repeats) and Spoligotype43 allowing a better description and identification of the families of genotypic profiles of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. SITVIT2 database is constantly evolving, and it currently contains epidemiological information on 111,635 clinical isolates. This database is available online at the following address: http://www.pasteur-guadeloupe.fr:8081/SITVIT2/. We also developed a database named "SITVITBovis", which is dedicated to bovine tuberculosis. This database will be accessible at: http://www.pasteur-guadeloupe.fr:8081/SITVIT_Bovis/.Alongside the development and management of databases, this work was based on several epidemiological and phylogeographic studies correlating data on drug resistance or demographic characteristics (including sex, age, HIV status, and the origin of the patient). Our research initiative is thus focused to further improve in depth phylogenetic characterization of MTBC lineages, as well as the epidemiological analysis of circulating clones to generate evidence-based geographical mapping of predominant clinical isolates of tubercle bacilli causing the bulk of the disease both at country and regional level. Further superposition of these maps with socio-political, economical and demographical available through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allows to have a precise view of prevailing disparities at the level of country or sub-region. This thesis represents an important collaboration with several researchers teams also working in the field of molecular epidemiology of tuberculosis.The long-term goal of this work is to further optimize the database structure, and sustain enriching it (including automation and ease of data entry). Optimum performance and accessibility of data in the database would reinforce efforts to control and surveillance of TB in the world.

Résumé : International audience
Generation and emplacement of felsic magmas in the Paleoproterozoic Baoulé-Mossi domain, West African Craton does not match the apparent peaks of global crust generation identified between ca. 2900–2600, 1900–1600 and 1200–900 Ma. In contrast, across the Baoulé-Mossi domain, the emplacement of felsic intrusions ranges from ca. 2300 to 2000 Ma. It has proven difficult to place this magmatism within a robust geodynamic framework due to the lack of accurate geochronological data from across the West African Craton. The present study addresses this issue by presenting eighty-four new felsic intrusions zircon ion microprobe and LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ages from areas that up until now have not been targeted for geochronology. The new dataset, when fully integrated with existing age data, reveals a craton-wide diachronous geochronological pattern characterized by a magmatic front that migrated westward. This migration proceeded at a rate of 35 km per million years, with an apparent offset of the initiation and cessation of felsic magmatic activity between the east and west of approximately 50 million years. The new data also show that although the entire Baoulé-Mossi domain was subject to continuous magmatic activity for at least 150 million years, this magmatic activity displays a rather different record in the eastern and western portions of the domain. The differences are expressed as a westward migration of the magmatic activity, cessation of activity around ca. 2100 Ma (easternmost portion) and ca. 2050 Ma (westernmost portion) and a higher incidence of inherited ages in the westernmost portion when compared to the easternmost region. In addition, the new U-Pb data identify some of the oldest felsic intrusions in the region, including a granite from Burkina Faso (2265 ± 17 Ma) and a diorite porphyry (2216 ± 5 Ma) in southern Mali. This study also reveals inherited Archean zircon cores from across southern Mali. The combination of the new data presented here, along with previously published data, suggests that the Baoulé-Mossi domain formed from the accretion of two major crustal blocks. The Archean inherited ages open a window for further investigation of the interaction between the Archean Kénéma-Man and the Paleoproterozoic Baoulé-Mossi domains.

Résumé : Background: Resolving threats to widely distributed marine megafauna requires definition of the geographic distributions of both the threats as well as the population unit(s) of interest. In turn, because individual threats can operate on varying spatial scales, their impacts can affect different segments of a population of the same species. Therefore, integration of multiple tools and techniques - including site-based monitoring, genetic analyses, mark-recapture studies and telemetry - can facilitate robust definitions of population segments at multiple biological and spatial scales to address different management and research challenges. Methodology/Principal Findings: To address these issues for marine turtles, we collated all available studies on marine turtle biogeography, including nesting sites, population abundances and trends, population genetics, and satellite telemetry. We georeferenced this information to generate separate layers for nesting sites, genetic stocks, and core distributions of population segments of all marine turtle species. We then spatially integrated this information from fine-to coarse-spatial scales to develop nested envelope models, or Regional Management Units (RMUs), for marine turtles globally. Conclusions/Significance: The RMU framework is a solution to the challenge of how to organize marine turtles into units of protection above the level of nesting populations, but below the level of species, within regional entities that might be on independent evolutionary trajectories. Among many potential applications, RMUs provide a framework for identifying data gaps, assessing high diversity areas for multiple species and genetic stocks, and evaluating conservation status of marine turtles. Furthermore, RMUs allow for identification of geographic barriers to gene flow, and can provide valuable guidance to marine spatial planning initiatives that integrate spatial distributions of protected species and human activities. In addition, the RMU framework - including maps and supporting metadata - will be an iterative, user-driven tool made publicly available in an online application for comments, improvements, download and analysis.

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

Résumé : Extension fractures of two types defined by the mean stress σ were generated in a synthetic rock analogue material. When σ is very small, the fractures are mode I cracks with smooth surfaces. At higher σ, these surfaces have plumose topography, with the amplitude increasing with σ. Both SEM observations and mechanical measurements show that fractures/discontinuities in the latter case are initiated as dilatancy localization bands. They form under tensile or slightly compressive normal stress and can be seen as running constitutive instabilities. The similarity between the plumose fractography of the experimental fractures and natural joints suggests similarity in the formation mechanism.

Résumé : International audience
We surveyed the junction between the central and southern Philippine Trench and the Sangihe Trench near 6øN using swath bathymetry, gravity, and magnetics. These data, along with seismicity, allow us to discuss the genetic relations between these trenches and the forces acting on converging plates. Our final model favors the northern extension of the Halmahera Arc up to 8øN, with three segments offset left-laterally along NW-SE transform faults. Accretion of the northern segment to Mindanao Island 4 to 5 m.y. ago resulted in the failure within the Philippine Sea Plate east of the arc. Initiation of the Philippine Trench between 7øN and 10øN agrees with the maximum recorded depth of the Philippine Trench floor (10,000 m below sea-level) and Philippine Sea slab (200 km). South of 6øN (trench junction), another segment of the arc is being subducted beneath the Sangihe margin, while south of 3øN, the southern segment of the Halmahera Arc is still active. The rapid southward shallowing of the trench floor along the southern Philippine Trench, the type of faulting affecting both sides of the trench, the lack of significant interplate seismicity, and the concentration of the seismicity beneath the Miangas-Talaud Ridge are interpreted as a slowing down of the subduction along this branch of the Philippine Trench compared with the rest of the subduction zone. The Sangihe deformation front has been recognized up to 7øN but seems active only south of 6øN.

Résumé : International audience
An inter-laboratory exercise was organized under the PHARMAS EU project, by the Advanced School of Public Health (EHESP), in order to evaluate the performances of analytical methods for the measurement of antibiotics in waters (surface and tap). This is the first time such an exercise on antibiotics has been organized in Europe, using different kinds of analytical methods and devices. In this exercise thirteen laboratories from five countries (Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal) participated, and a total number of 78 samples were distributed. During the exercise, 2 testing samples (3 bottles of each) prepared from tap water and river water, respectively, spiked with antibiotics, were sent to participants and analyzed over a period of one month. A final number of 77 (98.7%) testing samples were considered. Depending on substances studied by each participant, 305 values in duplicate were collected, with the results for each sample being expressed as the target concentration. A statistical study was initiated using 611 results. The mean value, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, standard uncertainty of the mean, median, the minimum and maximum values of each series as well as the 95% confidence interval were obtained from each participant laboratory. In this exercise, 36 results (6% of accounted values) were outliers according to the distribution over the median (box plot). The outlier results were excluded. In order to establish the stability of testing samples in the course of the exercise, differences between variances obtained for every type of sample at different intervals were evaluated. The results showed no representative variations and it can be considered that all samples were stable during the exercise. The goals of this inter-laboratory study were to assess results variability when analysis is conducted by different laboratories, to evaluate the influence of different matrix samples, and to determine the rate at which participating laboratories successfully completed the tests initiated.

Résumé : International audience
This paper presents historical research conducted through a partnership between the University of French West Indies andthe Guadeloupe Port Authority in 2010. In the preparation for an underwater archaeological survey, the GuadeloupePort Authority, advised by the Department for Underwater Archaeological Research (DRASSM), initiated historicalresearch to assist in understanding the potential for underwater cultural heritage in Pointe-à-Pitre Bay. Historicalsources concerning shipwrecks, maritime events, and construction and dredging activity in the port since the beginningof 19th century have been studied to delineate high potential research and survey areas. !is paper presents the context,methods and results of this project.

Résumé : International audience
The seasonal patterns of conceptions and births differ between geographic areas. Several potential determinants of this variation have been identified, including biological, environmental and behavioral elements, but festive events are rarely mentioned. We investigated the possible association between the carnival and seasonal fertility variations in the French West Indies. We ran a retrospective registry-based study. The data were extracted from the registry of all births on Guadeloupe between 2000 and 2011 (n = 74,412), and from the Maternity Birth Register of the University Hospital, for all pregnancies of at least 14 completed weeks of gestation (observable conceptions) with an outcome recorded between 2007 and 2010 (n = 8,425). We compared data during and outside the carnival period for each year, including 2009, when there was no carnival due to a 44-day general strike. In all years other than 2009, the weekly number of births was higher for pregnancies initiated during the carnival period than for pregnancies initiated at other times, and the weekly number of observable conceptions was higher during the carnival period than at other times. Our findings support the hypothesis that carnivals in the French West Indies are associated with an increase in the number of conceptions and subsequent births.
