Résumé : International audience
Diverse, abundant and usually well-preserved communities of skeletal organisms occur in the lower Pleistocene (Gelasian) siliciclastic deposits of the Greek island of Rhodes. Benthic foraminifers, molluscs and bryozoans have been studied in four measured and sampled sections located in the northern part of the island. Among these bottom-dwelling organisms, numerous extant taxa are good environmental indicators and, combined with field observations and sedimentological data, they provide information on the probable conditions in which they developed. The siliciclastic deposits of the Kritika Formation have been divided into 14 different bio- and lithofacies, which have been further grouped into four facies associations corresponding to four different environmental settings: (1) continental to fluviatile; (2) brackish-water (lagoonal/deltaic); (3) infralittoral (0–20 m); and (4) upper circalittoral (depths of 20–40 m, but also down to c. 50–60 m). Among the marine facies associations, several characteristic biocoenoses have been recognized: soft-bottoms (fine to coarse sands and gravels); seagrass meadows; biogenic calcareous crusts on drowned beachrock slabs; red algal rhodoliths; and bivalve shell beds. In the studied sections, 13 superimposed genetic sequences have been documented. The repetition of similar facies associations within each sequence suggests: (1) a possibly eustasy-controlled, cyclic sedimentation; (2) a general subsidence of Rhodes during the deposition of the studied facies associations; and (3) a mostly constant range of environmental conditions (i.e. sedimentation rates and temperature) throughout the Gelasian.

Résumé : International audience
This article examines the case of Kali'na, a minority Indigenous language of French Guiana, from the point of view of descriptive categories available in the literature (namely dominated language, minoritized language, endangered language). These terms are discussed, favouring more dynamic categories which focus on processes (minoritization/deminoritization). The article uses both micro- and macrosociolinguistic levels of analysis. At the macro level, indicators are proposed to gauge the minorization of Kali'na as it occurs on the scale of Guiana as a whole, by observing attitudes towards Kali'na language and culture, particularly as expressed in the media and in epilinguistic comments made by speakers. At the local level, we explore the effects of the recognition by the State of a Kali'na township and their influence on language minoritization in the village and more generally at the level of the linguistic community. We also attempt to determine to what extent, as far as interactions are concerned, alternations and code switching between Kali'na and French might constitute indicators of the process of minoritization or deminoritization or of language death currently underway.

Résumé : International audience
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are increasingly used for biodiversity conservation and the management of sustainable fisheries. The use of taxonomic surrogates in routine monitoring of the reserve effects on fish assemblages may represent a promising method due to its substantial technical and economic benefits. However, higher taxonomic ranks should be used as surrogates with caution, especially for fish, where the approach is still virtually undocumented. This study aims to shed light on relationships between taxonomic relatedness and ecological similarity, which is crucial to assess the relevance of species surrogacy to reflect species-level information and detect changes in fish related to protection regimes. By analyzing data from a Mediterranean MPA, we show that rather being related to taxonomic relationships, the ability of higher taxa to reflect species-level patterns was explained in terms of aggregation level and distribution of species within taxa. Null models using random aggregations of species were created to identify the best surrogates able to depict changes in responses of assemblages to protection observed at the species-level. Comparison of null model predictions with the more classical higher-taxon approach revealed that the latter was not reliable because, unlike null model outcomes, surrogates determined empirically were not relevant for other subsequent independent monitoring. The effectiveness of species surrogates to depict changes in responses of assemblages to protection observed at the species-level depended (1) on the numerical resolution of the aggregation and (2) the magnitude of differences between protected and unprotected locations. Such findings suggest that surrogacy approaches may be applied for routine monitoring of Mediterranean reef fish communities, although mere empirical determinations of sufficient taxonomy seems to be not reliable, legitimizing the use of alternative methods based on null models. Guidelines for the careful use of species surrogacy in the ecological evaluation of MPAs on fish assemblages are provided.

Résumé : International audience
Chemical mediation regulates behavioral interactions between species and thus affects population structure,community organization and ecosystem function. Among marine taxa that have developed chemicalmediation strategies, gastropods belong to a diverse group of molluscs found worldwide, including specieswith a coiled, reduced or absent shell. Most gastropods use natural products to mediate a wide range ofbehaviors such as defense, prey location or interactions with con- and hetero-geners. Their chemicallydefended diet, such as cyanobacteria, algae, sponges, bryozoans and tunicates, provides them witha considerable opportunity either as shelter from predators, or as a means to enhance their own chemicaldefense. In addition to improving their defenses, molluscs also use prey secondary metabolites in complexchemical communication including settlement induction, prey detection and feeding preferences. Theassimilation of prey secondary metabolites further provides the opportunity for interactions withconspecifics via diet-derived chemical cues or signals. This review intends to provide an overview on thesequestration, detoxification, and biotransformation of diet-derived natural products, as well as the role ofthese compounds as chemical mediators in gastropod-prey interactions.

Résumé : International audience
As it is unlikely that successful settlement is solely a matter of chance (i.e. tofind a suitable habitat), one of the greatest challenges facing the fish larvae is how to locate therelatively rare patches of coral reef habitat on which they settle and ultimately reside as adults.The answer must lie partly in the sensory modalities of fishes at settlement. Habitat selection isonly possible if fish larvae could detect some environmental cues to select a suitable reef habitatat settlement. The present review aims at providing the latest works dealing with informationperception in coral reef fish larvae at settlement. Two decades ago, it was generally assumedthat larval behaviors and sensory abilities at settlement were considered too feeble to significantlyaffect dispersal outcomes. Several recent studies showed that recognition of suitable reefhabitats by fish larvae at settlement is based on a combination of visual, chemical and acousticcues. The first part of our review shows the main advances in the knowledge of visual, chemicaland acoustic cues used by fish larvae to detect an island, a reef, a micro-habitat, a conspecific orsome predators. The second part of our review deals with the effect of imprinting and/or innatecapabilities. The third part focuses on the different cues used at different scales and underlinessome contradictory results about the distance of transmission and detection of chemical andacoustic cues in coral reefs. Finally, as global and regional environmental changes have stressedcoral reefs to such an extent that they are either destroyed or in decline, the fourth part presentsthe effects of both anthropogenic and environmental stressors on information perception andresponse capacities in coral reef fish larvae. If polluted seawater disrupts the larval abilities tofind a suitable reef habitat, fish larvae may spend more time in the planktonic environment,resulting in increased energetic costs and predation risk, and consequently a lower larval settlement.We hypothesise that as the stability of fish communities is dependent, in part, on the stabilityof social interactions, the disruption of “larvae-habitat relationships” can have major consequencesfor larval settlement into adult population with further repercussions for the ecosystemas a whole. Overall, larval settlement of coral reef fish is an excellent example of the complexityof interactions between an organism and its environment as without perceiving environmentalcues, fish larva would have very little chance of selecting a suitable reef habitat. Moreover,understanding the relationship between reef state and settlement potential will allow managementplanning for the maintenance of coral reefs that are increasingly degraded.

Résumé : Question: To establish a habitat classification based on functional group co-occurrence that may help the drawing up of conservation plans. Location: Riverine forest fragments in the Grand-duché de Luxembourg, Europe. Methods: Forest fragments were surveyed for their abundance of vascular plants. These were clustered into emergent groups according to 14 life-traits related 10 plant dispersal, establishment and persistence. Forest fragments were classified according to similar distribution of the identified emergent groups. Environmental factors were related to the emergent group richness in each forest type using generalized linear models. Results: Contrary to former species centred classification, only two groups of forests, each with clearly different emergent group composition and conservation requirements. Were detected: (1) swamp forests characterized by anemogamous perennials, annuals and hydrochorous perennials and (2) moist forests characterized by barochorous perennials, small geophytes and zoochorous phanerophytes. From a conservation point of view, priority should he given to large swamp forest with intact flooding regimes his is in accordance with the high wind and water dispersal capacities of their typical emergent groups. For the moist forests. conservation priorities should he high forest connectivity and historical continuity since dispersal and establishment of their characteristic emergent groups arc highly limited. Conclusions: The described methodology, situated at an intermediate integration level between the individual species and whole community descriptors. takes advantage of both conservation plans built for single species and the synthetic power of bread ecological measures.

Résumé : Dégager le sens des actions mises en place en Guadeloupe depuis les années 1940 dans le secteur de la lecture publique par les collectivités locales, constitue l'objet de la recherche. Deux acteurs sont privilégiés, le Département et les communes. La lecture est appréhendée dans sa fonction identitaire, L'identité est posée comme système de significations, et il s'agit de décoder les représentations sociales de la lecture pour la situer dans la construction identitaire, Deux hypothèses conduisent la réflexion. La lecture n'est pas un enjeu identitaire fort et ne fait pas débat, cela parce que l'activité conserve une fonction fortement instrumentalisée déterminée par le contexte guadeloupéen. Les réponses sont cherchées dans l'histoire et l'analyse des actions publiques, elles aussi porteuses de significations. L'analyse de discours entreprise se réalise autour de quatre thématiques: la lecture, le livre, le lecteur, la bibliothèque. Ce travail retrace d'abord la genèse du secteur du livre et de la lecture en Guadeloupe dans les lieux et les pratiques. Puis il propose un panorama historique des actions. Enfin, une analyse des actions et des représentations est développée. L'irrégularité et la disparité de l'action publique locale, le discours très consensuel qui ressortent, plaident pour l'inexistence de politiques de lecture et d'enjeux véritables. Pourtant, lecture, livre et bibliothèque se montrent auréolés de prestige, vecteurs de savoir et de culture lettrée, relais de l'école. Ce paradoxe apparent illustre la problématique encore conflictuelle entre culture écrite et tradition orale en Guadeloupe, et la défiance traditionnelle envers l'écrit.
Understand the meaning underlying the initiatives led in the field of reading by public local authorities in Guadeloupe since 1940, is the object ofthis research. Two local authorities are particularly studied, the "Departement" and the towns and villages. Reading is taken here in an identity function. Identity is defmed her7as a system of significations, and the point is to understand which social representations reading conveys, and thus determine its place in the identity building process. The research is carried on around two hypotheses : reading is not an issue of much importance, nor a matter of political debate ; and this because it is thought of and used as a mere tool, due to the Guadeloupe context. Answers are searched by tracing the history and analyzing the public actions, which, too, convey meanings. A speech analysis is done around four subjects : reading, books, readers, Iibraries, This work describes the making of the field in Guadeloupe, through the history of reading places and practices, Then it presents the history of the actions themselves. Last, an analysis ofthe initiatives and the social representations underlying are developed. The public local action appears to be irregular and unequal, and the positions very consensual, both aspects speaking for an absence of true policies and real questioning about reading. Though, reading, books, libraries, are wrapped up in an aura of prestige, thought ofas vectors ofknowledge and culture, complementary to school. This apparent paradox is an example ofthe still remaining conflict between written and oral traditions in Guadeloupe, an expression of a longrooted distrust towards writing

Résumé : La prolifération récente des résidences secondaires, observée récemment sur la côte Pacifique Sud du Nicaragua, s’inscrit dans une perspective de développement ayant trait à l’hébergement touristique. Or, le caractère immobilier prédominant de ce type d’hébergement, ainsi que les modes de consommation de ces résidents temporaires nous mettent en garde quant aux risques socioéconomiques et environnementaux encourus par les communautés autochtones. Parmi ces risques, notons les problèmes découlant de l’amplitude des variations saisonnières, de privatisation et de destruction des espaces naturels, ainsi que les perspectives de pérennisation des retombées économiques à moyen et long terme. Les auteurs de cet article remettent donc en question les prouesses attribuées à ce secteur d’activité et invitent à considérer des alternatives de développement durable du tourisme plus respectueuses des territoires d’accueil.
In recent years, there has been a proliferation of second home developments on attractive coastal regions of Central and South America. Based on the assumed benefits of second home tourism to regional economies, public authorities - accompanied by private investors – have capitalised on this sector as part of their tourism development strategies. This paper first examines the nature of recent second home tourism developments and then presents the socio-economic and environmental impacts of this phenomenon as experienced by local communities on the South Pacific Coast of Nicaragua. The main impacts include conflicts with local and indigenous communities over land use and ownership, seasonal and low-income employment generation, an increased burden on municipal budget to provide public infrastructure, and environmental degradation. It is argued that the second home tourism sector, strongly driven by private real estate investors, fails to generate tourism activities which are expected to sustain community development. Furthermore, this study indicates that municipalities concentrating on the second home tourism segment may deprive themselves of access to resources for more sustainable forms of tourism activities.

Résumé : Ce numéro de la Revue Etudes Caribéennes consacré au tourisme vise à poser les bases d’une réflexion sur le fonctionnement des lieux touristiques, les programmes d’aménagement touristique et les différents enjeux pour les territoires. Lieu ouvert ou lieu fermé, flux concentré ou flux diffus, la nature du lieu touristique, avec ses pratiques, classiques ou originales, oriente les types d’impacts potentiels. Les choix opérés en matière d’aménagement touristique sont donc primordiaux : dans quelles conditions opte-t-on pour un tourisme balnéaire classique, massif, ou pour une approche touristique alternative ? Ces différentes déclinaisons sont-elles attachées à des territoires spécifiques ? Faut-il opposer ces deux approches ou les considérer complémentaires dans leurs environnements respectifs, peuvent-elles partager un même espace ? L’objectif de ce numéro thématique est de réunir des approches diverses et renouvelées qui développent des analyses sous l’angle de l’économie, de l’aménagement du territoire, de la sociologie, de la géographie… Les articles pourront proposer une réflexion théorique ou privilégier des études de cas, traitant des relations tourisme de masse – tourisme alternatif ou s’attachant à illustrer l’une de ces deux aspects. Les terrains privilégiés ne seront pas exclusivement caribéens et américains, ils pourront relever de n’importe quelle région du monde et illustrer des situations présentes et/ou passées. Les thématiques privilégiées seront : 1. Les concepts de tourisme de masse et de tourisme alternatif (identification, caractéristiques, logiques spatiales, enjeux économiques, sociaux, environnementaux). 2. Les lieux du tourisme masse (stations balnéaires, villes historiques, formes spécifiques d’aménagement des lieux et les types de structures d’accueil) 3. Alter-tourismes et renouvellement des pratiques touristiques (écotourisme, tourisme communautaire, agrotourisme …) 4. L’aménagement des lieux touristiques et les modalités de gestion des environnements protégés (conservation, protection et pratiques touristiques et récréatives) 5. Les enjeux économiques, sociaux, environnementaux autour de différents types de lieux touristiques. This issue of the Revue Etudes Caribéennes, devoted to tourism, aims to lay the foundations of a reflection on the functioning tourist places, their development programs and the different challenges presented to them. Exposed/Open or closed location, concentrated or diffused flows, the nature of these tourist places with their traditional or original customs, orientate different types of potential impacts. The choices made in tourism development are essential: in which conditions should be opted for the traditional seaside tourism, or for mass tourism, or for alternative tourism? Are certain properties linked to specific territories? Should we oppose these two approaches or consider them as complementary in their environments and can they share the same place? The objective of this thematic issue is to call for various and renewed approaches which develop analysis in terms of the economy, regional planning, sociology, geography etc. Articles may propose a theoretical reflection or focus on case studies, dealing with the relations of mass tourism, alternative tourism, or to illustrate one of these two aspects. Priorities fields will not exclusively be Caribbean and American but can come from any part of the world and can illustrate post and/or present situations. The prioritized analysis will include: 1. The concepts of mass tourism and alternative tourism (identification, characteristics, spatial logics, and economic, social and environmental issues). 2. Places of mass tourism (resorts, historic cities, specific forms of site layout and reception facilities) 3. Alter-tourism and the renewal of tourism practices (ecotourism, community tourism, agrotourism) 4. The development of tourist spots and of management methods concerning protected environments (conservation, protection, tourism practices and recreational practices) 5. Economic, social, and environmental issues surrounding different types of tourist places. Este número de la Revista Estudios Caribeños consagrado al turismo apunta a poner las bases de una reflexión sobre el funcionamiento de los lugares turísticos, los programas de ordenación turística y las diferentes apuestas para los territorios. Lugar abierto o cerrado, flujos concentrados o flujos difusos, la naturaleza del lugar turístico, con sus prácticas, clásicas u originales, orienta los tipos de impactos potenciales. Las elecciones operadas en materia de ordenación turística son primordiales: ¿en qué condiciones se opta por un turismo balneario clásico, masivo, o por un enfoque turístico alternativo? ¿Estas diferentes declinaciones están relacionadas a territorios específicos? ¿Se debe oponer estos dos enfoques o considerarlos complementarios en sus ambientes respectivos, pueden compartir el mismo espacio? El objetivo de este número temático es de reunir los diversos y renovados enfoques que desarrollan los análisis sobre el ángulo de la economía, la ordenación del territorio, la sociología, la geografía… Los artículos podrán proponer una reflexión teórica o privilegiar los estudios prácticos, tratando las relaciones turismo de masa-turismo alternativo o dirigirse a ilustrar uno de estos dos aspectos. Los terrenos privilegiados no serán exclusivamente caribeños y americanos, podrán hacer frente a cualquier región del mundo e ilustrar situaciones presentes y/o pasadas. Los temas privilegiados serán: 1. Los conceptos de turismo de masa y de turismo alternativo (identificación, características, lógicas espaciales, apuestas económicas, sociales, ambientales). 2. Los lugares de turismo de masa (estaciones balnearias, ciudades históricas, formas específicas de ordenación de lugares y de tipos de estructuras de recepción). 3. Alter-turismos y renovación de las prácticas turísticas (ecoturismo, turismo comunitario, agroturismo...). 4. La ordenación de lugares turísticos y las modalidades de gestión de los ambientes protegidos (conservación, protección y prácticas turísticas y recreativas). 5. Las apuestas económicas, sociales, ambientales alrededor de diferentes tipos de lugares turísticos.

Résumé : Le tourisme de masse ayant déjà démontré ses limites et fait l’objet de critiques et d’indignation de la part des associations internationales de la protection de l’environnement cède peu à peu sa place au tourisme durable. Ce dernier tient compte de la protection de l’environnement et de la sauvegarde des richesses naturelles en offrant aux touristes des produits purement bio et des cultures tout à fait originales.Dans un contexte connu par sa complexité, vu les inégalités environnementales et sociales que connaît le Maroc, et pour remédier ce déséquilibre des acteurs économiques, des locaux dans la majorité des cas, ont opté pour des investissements touristiques dans les milieux ruraux. Ainsi des établissements touristiques ruraux commencent à prendre de l’ampleur, visant à consolider la notion du tourisme durable avec ses produits artisanaux locaux, ses variétés culinaires régionales et ses folklores saisonniers aux traditions bien enracinées. Mais ces actions sont-elles en mesure d’assurer un avenir prometteur à ces établissements ruraux, sans l’intervention de l’État qui a un rôle primordial à jouer en la matière de la formation et la qualification des ressources humaines dans le secteur du tourisme ; une formation pour préserver l’environnement et les ressources naturelles et donner un nouvel élan au tourisme rural dont la modernité demeure une référence essentielle.Par la beauté naturelle de leurs sites, la qualité de leurs aliments, le comportement clair et limpide de leurs personnes, les établissements d’hébergements touristiques ruraux marocains attirent déjà un nombre significatif de touristes qui viennent à l’origine pour un séjour de deux ou trois jours et prolongent souvent à une semaine séduits par la qualité du séjour. Eau pure, qualité de l’air, richesse culturelle, autant d’atouts qui justifient le soutien de ce genre de tourisme qui inspire notre enquête au niveau de la commune rurale d’Asni.
It is high people admitted that mass tourism has its limits as there have been consequences. Indeed several NGOS as well as international organizations aiming at the protection of the environment see that this destructive or harmful tourism is losing ground it is being substituted or replaced by eco-friendly tourism. This latter target the preservation of mother earth as well as its natural resources by providing a new type of tourism labeled rural tourism whose first and paramount objective is providing tourists with organic products. This green or rural tourism tries at all cost to promote artistic commodities, authentic cultures and purely traditional folk.Rural tourism is actually expecting more prosperity and progress but on condition that the local authorities and the government cooperate more to give a push to this kind of business via a perfect or division of human resources. Rural tourism represent a new image of modern tourism that aims to protect the environment and diversity. From the beauty of the natural land scape, the quality of the food served, the professionalism of the staff members the touristic accommodation units based in Moroccan countryside manage to attract a significant number of tourists, who often come for 2 or 3 days prolong their stay for a week for having fond a deep pleasure. The water is pure, the atmospheric air is filtered, the cultural wealth is vast, it is therefore appropriate to sustain and support this kind of tourism that inspires our investigation at the rural town of Asni.

Résumé : Marqué par une biodiversité exceptionnelle et une grande pauvreté humaine, la destruction rapide des ressources naturelles à Madagascar place le territoire et son appropriation au centre des enjeux de développement. Dans ce contexte, cet article s’intéresse à l’émergence et à la mise en œuvre d’une politique publique touchant la Gestion LOcale SÉcurisée (GELOSE) dont le principal objectif vise à transférer la gestion de ces ressources, de l’État vers les communautés locales, dans le but de les protéger plus efficacement. Cette lecture montre cependant que les objectifs, les ressources et les stratégies des principaux acteurs concernés sont difficilement conciliables et que le système de relation qu’il induit n’est pas nécessairement en phase avec les finalités poursuivies.
Marked by exceptional biodiversity and extreme human poverty, Madagascar is experiencing a rapid destruction of its natural resources, placing territory and its appropriation at the heart of development issues. From this perspective, this article will look at the development and implementation of a public policy, the Gestion LOcale SÉcurisée (GELOSE), for the local management of natural renewable resources. This regulation seeks to transfer the management of these resources from the government to local communities in the goal of protecting them more effectively. We will see, however, that the objectives, resources and strategies of the primary actors concerned are difficult to reconcile at best and that the relational system to which the policy gives rise is not necessarily in keeping with the goals being pursued.

Résumé : International audience
This article describes the educational ideologies observed between 2010 and 2015 among the Wayana-Apalaï – an indigenous community living in the French Guiana rainforest - and their influence on local educational styles, training priorities and strategies of social success. The results of our fieldwork show that the dynamics of national and global integration have succeeded in transforming local educational ideologies - especially those linked to the Amazon ecosystem - by introducing new criteria of success and assigning a leading educative role to formal schooling.
En este texto, se describen los caracteres propios a la ideología educativas de los Wayana-Apalaï, una comunidad indígena que vive en el sector amazónico de la Guayana francesa, así como los estilos educativos, las prioridades de formación y las representaciones sociales del éxito que caracterizan a esta comunidad. Los resultados de las observaciones realizadas entre 2010 y 2015 en el marco de esta investigación muestran que las dinámicas de integración nacional y global están logrando transformar las ideologías educativas locales – y, sobre todo, los aspectos más vinculados con el ecosistema amazónico-mediante la introducción de nuevos criterios de éxito y asignando un papel protagónico a la educación escolar.

Résumé :  
The spatial genetic differentiation among European beech stands in western Germany was analysed by a new method. The genetic structure at 8 enzyme gene loci of 100 sampled populations was used as data base. The data represent authors' own results and published data from 8 different studies. For 10 geographic distance classes [h] from 0 to 500 km, the average genetic distance between the populations for each single gene locus, a gene-pool distance and the semivariances of genetic diversity gam were computed. Significant deviation from random spatial genetic structure was tested by permutation analysis. In many cases (Lap-B, Mdh-B, Mdh-C and 6Pgdh-C) the mean genetic distance between stands with spatial distance up to 200 km was significantly smaller and the genetic distance between stands with geographic distances of 200 and 400 km was significantly greater than expected for random spatial genetic structure. Similar tendencies were found for the gene-pool distance and the semivariances of diversity. Kriging, as a method for spatial interpolation, was used to draw synthetic maps of the spatial patterns of allelic frequencies and genetic diversity. The influence of postglacial recolonisation and regeneration with foreign seed material on the spatial genetic patterns are discussed

Résumé : L’écotourisme ouvre un cadre conceptuel original qui permet d’envisager des démarches renouvelées de développement à partir des revenus issus de consommations touristiques mieux réfléchies et organisées, susceptibles de soutenir des initiatives de développement local s’inscrivant dans un projet global de développement durable. Variante douce du tourisme, loin du tourisme de masse, le champ de l’écotourisme s’étend aux confins du tourisme de nature, du tourisme culturel et des pratiques scientifiques et sportives de plein air. Une définition de l’écotourisme peut être proposée à partir des six points suivants : 1/ nature et culture, 2/ le bien-être des sociétés hôtes, 3/ des touristes responsables, 4/ la participation des sociétés hôtes, 5/ la durabilité, 6/ l’art de la rencontre.
Ecotourism provides an original conceptual framework that enables approaches to development that are better able to provide a more equitable distribution of income, as well as better organized and thought through initiatives which are more likely to promote a holistic sustainable local development. With somewhat less negative impact than normal tourism, considerably less that mass tourism, ecotourism can encompass nature tourism, cultural tourism, scientific exploration, and even outdoor sports... A definition of ecotourism should take into account the following six points: 1/ nature and culture, 2/ the welfare of the host community, tourists acting responsibly, 3/ participation by the local community, 5 / sustainability , 6/ promotion of cultural exchanges

Résumé : Le patrimoine et le tourisme sont des facteurs avérés de développement. De leur bonne exploitation peut contribuer à l’amélioration des conditions d’existence des populations locales. L’Est-Cameroun est le fief de ressources naturelles et culturelles d’une étonnante diversité pouvant impulser une forte activité touristique. Cependant, même si cette région reçoit chaque année des touristes nationaux et étrangers, elle ne peut pas se targuer de faire profiter sa population des effets directs, indirects et induits qu’engendrerait une activité touristique convenablement menée. Le présent article expose, dans une perspective historique (1980-2010), les raisons pour lesquelles, le tourisme et le développement de l’Est-Cameroun piétinent en dépit de ses nombreuses ressources patrimoniales.La collecte des données (écrites, orales, iconographiques, électroniques) sur le terrain de recherche associée à l’observation permet de constater que le tourisme fut très vite relégué au second plan. L’exploitation minière et forestière intensive, au lieu de faciliter l’émergence de la région, a plutôt hypothéquée son avenir. Le rôle des agences chargées de la gestion du tourisme à l’Est-Cameroun s’est limité à l’inventaire des sites touristiques, l’aménagement sporadique de quelques-uns et la mise en œuvre d’actions promotionnelles approximatives. La négligence du tourisme par les autorités camerounaises n’est pas une nouveauté ; elle a pour corollaire l’apparition de difficultés diverses (braconnage, manque de personnel, insécurité…).
Heritage and tourism are recognized factors of development. Their good exploitation can contribute to the improvement of the conditions of existence of local populations. East-Cameroon is the fief of natural and cultural resources which can stimulate tourism. Although even if this region receives every year domestic and foreign tourists, its population cannot profit from direct, indirect and induced effects which would engender a suitably led tourist activity. The present article exposes, in a historical perspective (1980-2010), reasons why, tourism and development of East-Cameroon tramples in spite of its numerous heritage resources. The data collection (written, oral, iconographic, electronic…) on the research filed and personal observation allow to notice that tourism was very fast relegated in East-Cameroon. The intensive mining and forest exploitation have hypothecated the future of this area instead of developing it. Moreover, the role of tourism agencies in eastern Cameroon is limited itself to inventory of places of interest, sporadic development and approximate promotional actions. The negligence of tourism by the Cameroon authorities is not novelty; it has for corollary appearance of difficulties (as poaching, lack of personal, insecurity).

Résumé : Dans un monde essentiellement mouvant et dynamique et dont les stratégies de développement sont tout aussi diverses, le monde rural ne reste pas à la traine. Les espaces ruraux qui sont par essence des lieux de survivances culturelles ont de la peine à construire des stratégies de développement par des replis identitaires dans un contexte de mondialisation et marqué particulièrement par une indigence notoire. Dans ce contexte, le tourisme qui demeure une situation de rente pour les ruraux est influencé par de profondes dynamiques exogènes. L’objectif de ce travail est donc d’évaluer le lien social entre les acteurs inscrits dans le développement du tourisme en milieu rural. La problématique est soutenue par les interrogations suivantes : comment résister aux conduites modernes des touristes en milieu rural dans un contexte de mondialisation ? Les modes de vie des touristes en milieu rural sont-ils autant compatibles avec ceux des locaux ? Comment les touristes influencent-ils les modes de vie des acteurs ruraux au point d’en provoquer des innovations socio-économiques ? Le cadre théorique est essentiellement axé sur la théorie du lien social axé sur la finalité de l’échange. La méthode est qualitative, car il est question dans cette étude de ressortir les interactions entre les acteurs en présence dans la problématique du tourisme. Les résultats montrent que : a) le tourisme en milieu rural est une source de rente pour les locaux, b) il y a une innovation dans la gestion des temps traditionnelles, c) les sources de revenus ne sont plus seulement issues de la production agricoles, mais aussi des services, d) les modes de vie des ruraux sont profondément modifiés par les dynamiques portées par les touristes.
In a changing world whose development strategies are diverse, the rural world is not left behind. Rural areas that essentially represent cultural resilience sites are challenged in building development strategies in a globalized world characterized by notorious poverty. In this context tourism, which remains an economic rent for rural, is influenced by exogenous conditions. This paper aims to analyze the social bond between the players enrolled in the development of rural tourism. The analytic process is supported by the following questions: How to resist the modern behaviour of rural tourists in a globalization context? Are the lifestyles of rural tourists compatible with locals? How do tourists influence the lifestyle of rural stakeholders to the point of causing socio-economic innovations? The theoretical framework focuses mainly on the theory of social ties focusing on the purpose of exchange. The method is qualitative, as this study highlights the interactions between the stakeholders. The results show that: a) Rural tourism is a source of income for locals; b) there is an innovation in managing traditional time; c) sources of income are not only from agricultural production but also from services; d) rural lifestyles are profoundly changed by the dynamic brought by tourists.

Résumé : International audience
Outbreaks of the corallivorous crown-of-thorns seastar Acanthaster planci (COTS) represent one of the greatest disturbances to coral reef ecosystems in the Indo-Pacific, affecting not only coral reefs but also the coastal communities which rely on their resources. While injection approaches are increasingly used in an attempt to control COTS densities, most of them display severe drawbacks including logistical challenges, high residual environmental impacts or low cost-effectiveness. We tested a new alternative control method based upon acidic injections of cheap, 100% natural products. We investigated the lethal doses, intra-and inter-specific disease transmission and immune responses of COTS when injected with fresh lime juice (extracted from local Citrus arantifolia) and white spirit vinegar. High COTS mortality was achieved with small volumes: 10–20 ml per seastar induced death in 89%/ 97% of injected specimens after an average 34.3 h/29.8 h for lime juice and vinegar respectively. Highest efficiency was reached for both solutions with double shots of (2 × 10 ml) in two different areas on the body: 100% mortality occurred within 12–24 h, which is similar or faster compared with other current injection methods. Multiple immune measures suggested that death was very likely caused by pH stress from the acidic solutions rather than a bacterial infection. Contagion to either conspecifics or a variety of other reef species was not observed, even at COTS densities 15 times higher than the highest naturally reported. 10 to 20 l lime juice/vinegar could kill up to a thousand COTS at a cost of less than 0.05 USD per specimen; no permits or special handling procedures are required. We conclude that injections of lime juice and vinegar offer great advantages when compared to current best practises and constitute a cheap and natural option for all reefs affected by COTS.

Résumé : International audience
Semantic web standards, tools, ontologies and related technologies have considerably matured in the recent years. Nowadays, accessing a wide catalogue of biological, social, environmental, and ecological data sources helps stakeholders working on biodiversity to answer their complex questions. Will the real time access to web resources effectively support the definition of strategies to conserve and manage biodiversity? How might semantic web technologies help us to handle the complex and heterogeneous big data related to biodiversity? The workshop aims to identify the key challenges faced by the bioinformatics community, discuss potential solutions and identify the opportunities emerging from the trans-disciplinary interactions between Plant Science and Informatics experts. Therefore, we expect the bioinformatics experts to explain how they apply semantic web standards and tools to their scientific topic, from biology, agriculture, agro-ecology, genomics, environmental studies, to social sciences, citizen sciences. Research papers presenting various aspects of semantic web technologies applied to biodiversity data, ranging from position papers to implemented systems descriptions and their evaluation, will be selected. We are particularly interested in the use of the semantic technologies to design and develop systems that supports research on agricultural and wild biodiversity conservation and management for food security. Examples may include strategies for resilience to climate change pressures, sustainability of productive ecosystems, ecosystems services monitoring or territories management, rather than systems supporting only research on climate patterns or soil erosion.

Résumé : International audience
In France, reducing social health inequalities has become an explicit goal of health policies over the past few years, one of its objectives is specifically the reduction of the perinatal mortality rate. This study investigates the association between infant mortality and social deprivation categories at a small area level in the Lille metropolitan area, in the north of France, to identify census blocks where public authorities should prioritize appropriate preventive actions. We used census data to establish a neighbourhood deprivation index whose multiple dimensions encompass socioeconomic characteristics. Infant mortality data were obtained from the Lille metropolitan area municipalities to estimate a death rate at the census tract level. We used Bayesian hierarchical models in order to reduce the extra variability when computing relative risks (RR) and to assess the associations between infant mortality and deprivation. Between 2000 and 2009, 668 cases of infant death occurred in the Lille metropolitan area (4.2 per 1,000 live births). The socioeconomic status is associated with infant mortality, with a clear gradient of risk from the most privileged census blocks to the most deprived ones (RR = 2.62, 95 % confidence interval [1.87; 3.70]). The latter have 24.6 % of families who were single parents and 29.9 % of unemployed people in the labor force versus 8.5 % and 7.7 % in the former. Our study reveals socio-spatial disparities in infant mortality in the Lille metropolitan area and highlights the census blocks most affected by the inequalities. Fine spatial analysis may help inform the design of preventive policies tailored to the characteristics of the local communities.

Résumé : Ce numéro de la Revue Études Caribéennes s’intéresse aux liens qui unissent et opposent l’activité touristique et les ressources naturelles, particulièrement dans les pays du Sud. Dans un contexte de médiatisation accrue des enjeux liés à la biodiversité et aux menaces qui pèsent sur elle, le tourisme – et particulièrement l’écotourisme – est souvent présenté comme un moyen de concilier la conservation et le développement. Les autorités locales, malgré l’existence d’un cadre réglementaire propre à l’environnement, ne disposent souvent pas de moyens suffisants (humains, matériels et financiers) pour gérer la croissance de la fréquentation des aires protégées et ses effets potentiels sur l’environnement naturel et humain. En réponse à cette problématique, les institutions financières internationales et les organismes associés proposent aux pays du Sud de trouver un équilibre entre une fréquentation de masse et une fréquentation de bas volume afin de développer « un tourisme de haute qualité ». Même si cela était possible, quels critères peuvent être utilisés pour « cesser » le développement d’un pôle ou d’une région touristique ? L’évolution géographique « naturelle » du tourisme – c’est-à-dire essentiellement basée sur la mise en tourisme de la nature et sur l’accessibilité de ces ressources – pose déjà des problèmes politiques et économiques importants. Les gouvernements (central, régional ou local) sont difficilement en mesure de réaliser un arbitrage de long terme dans ce contexte qui permettrait l’adéquation entre le développement touristique et la préservation des espaces naturels. La relation entre le tourisme et les ressources naturelles s’articule souvent autour de deux objectifs spécifiques, soient : développer un produit à moindre impact, mais aux dépenses élevées et viser un volume de visiteurs qui contribue aux profits économiques, mais qui amène le moins de dégradation écologique/sociale possible. Cette position résume à elle seule à la fois la complexité et les multiples paradoxes dans lesquels s’insère la mise en tourisme de la nature. Les dynamiques sociales et l’extension de l’appropriation privative des espaces naturels et agricoles posent la problématique des modes de gestion des ressources communes et de leur pérennité, particulièrement dans les pays du Sud. Dans ce contexte, les objectifs, les ressources et les stratégies des principaux acteurs concernés sont difficilement conciliables et le système de relation qu’il induit n’est pas nécessairement en phase avec les finalités poursuivies. This edition of Revue Etudes Caribéennes focuses on the links that unite and oppose tourism and natural resources, specifically in southern countries. In a context of increased media coverage of issues related to biodiversity (including threats to it), tourism – particularly ecotourism – is often presented as a mean to reconcile conservation and development. Local authorities, despite the existence of a specific environmental regulatory framework, often have insufficient resources (human, material, financial) to manage the increase of visits to protected areas, and the potential impact of these visits on natural and human environments. In response to this problem, international financial institutions and associated organizations offer to try to find a balance between mass attendance and low volume attendance in order to develop "high quality tourism" in southern countries. Even if this were possible, what criteria can be used to "stop" the development of a tourist site or region for environmental reasons? The “natural” geographic evolution of tourism – in other words, essentially based on the development of nature tourism and accessibility of these resources – already causes huge political and economic problems. Governments (central, regional or local) are hardly able to arbitrate over the long term in a context that would allow finding a balance between tourism development and preservation of natural areas. The relationship between tourism and natural resources often revolves around two specific objectives: to develop a product with less impact, but at high cost and a target volume of visitors that contributes to economic profits, but that causes the least ecological / social degradation possible. This position epitomizes both the complexity and the many paradoxes of nature tourism development. Social interactions and the expansion of private appropriation of natural and agricultural areas highlight the challenges of managing common resources and their sustainability, especially in the southern countries. In this context, development objectives, natural resources and the strategies of key stakeholders are difficult to reconcile, and the relationship between leading actors do not always correspond with these objectives. Esta edición de “Revue Études Caribéennes” se interesa a los lazos que unen y separan la actividad turística y los recursos naturales, particularmente en los países del sur. En un contexto de mediatización en alza sobre los objetivos ligados a la biodiversidad y a las amenazas que pesan sobre ella, el turismo – y particularmente el ecoturismo – está a menudo presentado como un medio de conciliar la conservación y el desarrollo. Las autoridades locales, pese a la existencia de un cuadro propio de reglamentación al medio ambiente, no disponen habitualmente de suficientes medios (humanos, materiales y financieros) para controlar el aumento de visitas en las áreas protegidas y sus efectos potenciales sobre el ambiente natural y humano. En respuesta a esta problemática, las instituciones financieras internacionales y los organismos asociados proponen a los países del sur encontrar un equilibrio entre la frecuentación de masas y una frecuentación de bajo volumen con el objetivo de desarrollar “un turismo de alta calidad”. Incluso si fuese posible, ¿qué criterios podrían ser utilizados para “cesar” el desarrollo de un centro o una región turística? La evolución geográfica “natural” del turismo – esencialmente basada en el desarrollo del turismo de la naturaleza y el acceso de sus recursos – crean problemas políticos y económicos enormes. Los gobiernos (central, regional o local) tienen dificultades para realizar un arbitraje a largo plazo en este contexto que permitiría la adecuación entre el desarrollo turístico y la preservación de los espacios naturales. La relación entre el turismo y los recursos naturales se articula a menudo alrededor de dos objetivos específicos, sean: desarrollar un producto con mínimo impacto, pero con gastos elevados y aspirar a un volumen de visitantes que contribuya a las ganancias económicas, pero que traiga la menor degradación ecológica/social posible. Esta posición resume la complejidad y las múltiples paradojas en las cuales se encaja la puesta del turismo en la naturaleza. Las dinámicas sociales y la extensión de la apropiación privativa de los espacios naturales y agrícolas plantean una problemática en los modos de gestión de los recursos comunes y de su perennidad, particularmente en los países del sur. En este contexto, los objetivos, los recursos y las estrategias de los principales actores concernidos son difícilmente conciliables y el sistema de relación que induce no es necesariamente en la misma fase con los objetivos perseguidos.
