Résumé : In a perfect-deficit approach (Yi, 2012), the daily maximum carbon storage capacity (CPC) of a given ecosystem for each year defines the perfect annual CPC curve. Deficits are the differences in the daily observational data for a given year against a perfect curve. The area between this curve and instantaneous canopy photosynthetic rates represents the potential productivity. Using an 11-year (2004 – 2014) eddy covariance flux and meteorological data, this perfect-deficit approach was used to examine the relationship between potential productivity and droughts occurring in 2005 and 2010 in a tropical rainforest of French Guiana, South America. Surprisingly, CPC deficits were only reduced by 24% (2005) and 19% (2010) from their respective perfect CPCs, indicating a subtle effect of drought to ecosystem productivity. Highest precipitation occurred in 2010 but precipitation deficits dropped drastically during this year (71% reduction from its perfect value) which reflects a drought condition. However, its deficits showed no correlation annually and seasonally. Soil water content (SWC) appeared to be the single driver for CPC deficits during long dry periods but is weakly correlated (r = 0.30; P <0.01 and r = 0.31; P <0.01, in 2005 and 2010, respectively). These results indicate that soil water is not a major limiting factor for productivity of this ecosystem during drought periods. In contrast, global radiation (Rg) corresponds to the peak of CPC deficits in 2010, but only 19% had been reduced from its ideal value. Yet, highest gross primary production (GPP) of 4106±231 gCm−2yr−1 occurred this year (mean 3753±231 gCm−2yr−1). Therefore, smaller deficits in Rg coupled with sufficient water may have induced higher productivity in 2010. Nevertheless, weaker correlations between potential productivity and climatic drivers may imply that other controlling aspects such as biological constraints may also have an effect to the dynamics of potential productivity during drought events, hence, must also be considered.

Résumé : This second mollusc physiology meeting has being organized jointly by LEMAR (IUEM: European Institute for Marine Studies) and LPI (Ifremer: French Institute for the Exploitation of the Sea), as both laboratories conduct research in this field. Physiomar 08 followed the very successful workshop 'Physiological aspects of reproduction and nutrition in marine mollusks' held in La Paz (Mexico) in November 2006 under the guidance of Maria Concepcion Lora Vilchis and Elena Palacios Metchenov from CIBNOR. This year's meeting has focus on Reproduction, Growth, Nutrition and Genetics and genomics of marine molluscs, and included a specific session on the effects of climate change on mollusc physiology: Global change. This conference has served as a forum for the communication of recent advances in all aspects of the physiology in molluscs. Researchers, students, stakeholders and mollusc farmers have had the opportunity to communicate personally in a friendly environment with leaders in the field. This meeting aimed to provide a vehicle for continuing exchanges, cooperation, and collaboration in the field of the physiology of marine molluscs to better understand their adaptation ability in a changing environment, their ecological significance, and to promote their sustainable culture.

Résumé : This paper calls back the needs of cartography of the interface between lands and sea and assesses the characteristics of this interface in terms of knowledge as spatial and temporal constraints. After a brief typology of the different thematic cartographies of coasts and their applications we develop the contribution of the digital high resolution satellite image and we lean on an example (inventory of aquaculture sites in inter-tropical zone) which meets the three basic needs of localization, quantification and economic planning.
On rappelle les besoins de cartographie de l’interface entre terres et mers et on fait un bilan des caractéristiques de cette interface en termes de connaissances, de contraintes spatiales et temporelles. Après une typologie succincte de la cartographie des littoraux et de leurs applications on développe l‘apport de l’image numérique satellite de haute résolution et on s’appuie sur un exemple (celui de la présélection de sites aquacoles en zone intertropicale) qui répond aux trois besoins fondamentaux besoins de localisation, de quantification (inventaire) et de planification (prévision).

Description : In the eighteenth and the early nineteenth centuries, inter-imperial connections, many of which were illicit, were of crucial importance in the functioning of European colonialism in the Atlantic world and during its heyday. One example of economically important trade connections across imperial borders is the maritime mule trade. Based on a large variety of secondary sources, supplemented by primary materials, this paper seeks to provide insights into the functioning of this business. Enterprising merchants used the opportunities available to them to connect breeding areas and zones of cash crop production. Likewise, geography played an important role in connecting demand and supply over both short and long distances, as physical proximity and trade winds helped forge connections. Mules were transported to the insular Caribbean, and in particular the French islands, to serve as draft animals, especially by moving vertical cylinders called rollers that crushed the sugar cane, although they were not the only animals used for such purposes. To meet the mule demand of the Caribbean islands, the animals were imported from a variety of regions, including France, North Africa, and the Cape Verde islands. Eventually, however, supplies from other parts of the Greater Caribbean came to dominate the mule business.

Résumé : In contrast to plants, predation on animals is usually lethal. Analysis of the effect of predation on animal populations and on predator-prey dynamics typically assumes this is the case. However, sublethal predation occurs in echinoderms, primarily on the arms of crinoids, asteroids, and ophiuroids. Sublethal predation is important in these echinoderms as it meets one of Harris' (1989) major criteria, affecting basic biological processes such as acquisition of food and allocation of nutrients to growth and reproduction. Sublethal predation would have an effect on their ecological role. It is essential to consider sublethal predation in the analysis of the life-histories of these species.

Résumé : It is now well understood that data on soil moisture and sea surface salinity (SSS) are required to improve meteorological and climate predictions. These two quantities are not yet available globally or with adequate temporal or spatial sampling. It is recognized that a spaceborne L-band radiometer with a suitable antenna is the most promising way of fulfilling this gap. With these scientific objectives and technical solution at the heart of a proposed mission concept the European Space Agency (ESA) selected the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission as its second Earth Explorer Opportunity Mission. The development of the SMOS mission was led by ESA in collaboration with the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) in France and the Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnologico Industrial (CDTI) in Spain. SMOS carries a single payload, an L-Band 2-D interferometric radiometer operating in the 1400-1427-MHz protected band [1]. The instrument receives the radiation emitted from Earth's surface, which can then be related to the moisture content in the first few centimeters of soil over land, and to salinity in the surface waters of the oceans. SMOS will achieve an unprecedented maximum spatial resolution of 50 km at L-band over land (43 km on average over the field of view), providing multiangular dual polarized (or fully polarized) brightness temperatures over the globe. SMOS has a revisit time of less than 3 days so as to retrieve soil moisture and ocean salinity data, meeting the mission's science objectives. The caveat in relation to its sampling requirements is that SMOS will have a somewhat reduced sensitivity when compared to conventional radiometers. The SMOS satellite was launched successfully on November 2, 2009.

Résumé : poster presentation, 22nd European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular protection, London,26-29 April 2012
OBJECTIVE: Several studies demonstrate that the perception of overweight is associated with attempts at weight control in overweight subjects. Our objective is to describe the factors associated with the perception of overweight in an adult Caribbean population, and in particular, to assess the relationship between the perception of overweight and previous medical diagnosis of overweight. METHOD AND DESIGN: Consant was a cross-sectional study carried out in 2007 on a representative sample of the adult Guadeloupean population. Included were 1,005 subjects aged 25-74 years, drawn from stratified random sampling, and interviewed at home. The perception of overweight was evaluated by the question: "Do you consider yourself to be overweight?" with a binary response. RESULTS: Among overweight subjects (Body Mass Index ≥ 25 kg/m2, n = 576), 38.6% provided an incorrect assessment of their weight status. This proportion falls to 17.4% in those who stated to have previously received a medical diagnosis of overweight. However, only 48.8% of overweight subjects stated to have received such a diagnosis. A logistic regression shows that the underestimation of weight status is associated with the absence of previous diagnosis for overweight (OR: 5.35 - p < 10-3), as well as an age greater than or equal to 55 years (OR: 2.91 - p < 10-3), a BMI of less than 30 kg/m² (OR: 2.26 - p: 0.001), the male sex (OR: 1.86 - p: 0.004), and a low income level (OR: 1.62 - p: 0.030), but not a lack of awareness regarding the role of weight control in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Similar results are observed if waist circumference is taken as a factor instead of BMI. CONCLUSION: In this population, the lack of medical diagnosis of overweight was the leading factor associated with misperception of overweight. Screening for overweight therefore appears to be one of the preconditions to weight management, and remains a fundamental but often unused element in the fight against obesity.

Résumé : International audience
Benthic microbial fuel cells (BMFCs) are continuous electricity generators using electroactive microorganisms and organic matter from aquatic environment, respectively, as catalysts and substrate. In this paper, first a low-cost PVC-made structure is constructed to harvest electricity from mangrove environment located in French Guiana. An in situ BMFC has given power density of 30 mW/m2 of the anodic surface area. This performance has been confirmed by experience in laboratory where inter-electrode distance and electrode surface area appeared to be power increasing factors. However, the output power of one BMFC is not used to supply real devices such as autonomous sensors. Second, to meet this expectation, in parallel and in series associations were considered. These associations were made in order to increase the output voltage and consequently the power, to reach levels that can supply small sensors (about 3 V). Finally, to improve the performance of the series association and to avoid the voltage reversal phenomenon, a voltage balancing circuit was simulated and added to the series connections. With balancing method, the cell voltage of BMFCs can be equalized, and the performances can be improved. This allows an optimal energy harvesting and a better global efficiency of the set.

Résumé : International audience
The volume comprises some of the contributions presented during the 10th edition of the Alpine Meeting "CorseAlp 2011". It has been held in Saint Florent (Corsica) between 10th and 16th of April 2011 under the auspices of Societé Geologique de France, Società Geologica Italiana and the INGV (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia) and with the collaboration of colleagues of Université de Corse (M.-M. Spella, M. and J. Ferrandini and L. Ciancaleoni) and the support of the city council of S. Florent. The meeting was framed in the series of "Alpine Workshops" e.g., Siegesmund et al. (2008), Handy and Rosenberg (2011), which are held every two years to develop interdisciplinary research on Alpine-type orogens. It hosted a variety of topical sessions from regional geology to process-oriented field and laboratory studies and gave the opportunity to collect multidisciplinary and multiscale approaches to geodynamic studies including continental rifting and ocean opening, oceanic and continental subduction, late- to post orogenic extension, exhumation of deep seated rocks, back-arc opening and microcontinent rotation, interfering orogenic-scale tectonics and surface processes, tectonics and seismic hazard within the Alpine chain and Mediterranean realms.
