Résumé : International audience
Little is known of how linkage patterns between species change along environmental gradients. The small, spatially discrete food webs inhabiting tank-bromeliads provide an excellent opportunity to analyse patterns of community diversity and food-web topology (connectance, linkage density, nestedness) in relation to key environmental variables (habitat size, detrital resource, incident radiation) and predators: prey ratios. We sampled 365 bromeliads in a wide range of understorey environments in French Guiana and used gut contents of invertebrates to draw the corresponding 365 connectance webs. At the bromeliad scale, habitat size (water volume) determined the number of species that constitute food-web nodes, the proportion of predators, and food-web topology. The number of species as well as the proportion of predators within bromeliads declined from open to forested habitats, where the volume of water collected by bromeliads was generally lower because of rainfall interception by the canopy. A core group of microorganisms and generalist detritivores remained relatively constant across environments. This suggests that (i) a highly-connected core ensures food-web stability and key ecosystem functions across environments, and (ii) larger deviations in food-web structures can be expected following disturbance if detritivores share traits that determine responses to environmental changes. While linkage density and nestedness were lower in bromeliads in the forest than in open areas, experiments are needed to confirm a trend for lower food-web stability in the understorey of primary forests.

Résumé : International audience
Les plantes qui présentent des structures anatomiques permettant de retenir de l'eau en permanence sont assez répandues en milieu tropical. Si beaucoup sont maintenant cultivées pour être vendues en jardineries, faisant le bonheur des amateurs, elles forment en milieu naturel des écosystèmes aquatiques encore très peu étudiés et renferment une biodiversité que l'on est loin d'avoir recensée. En Amérique centrale et du Sud, les broméliacées-citerne, qui représentent les plus nombreuses et les plus diversifiées de ces " plantes-mares ", permettent à des organismes très variés d'accomplir leur cycle de vie

Résumé : When Henry B. Plant brought the railroad to Tampa in 1884, he opened the door for many businesses to locate and flourish here. The railroad was at the center of the city's economy. From downtown it went to Port Tampa where one could board a Plant steamship to Jamaica, Cuba, New Orleans, Bermuda or other destinations. A spur of the rail line brought the train up to the west front of the hotel so guests could depart the train and walk directly into the lobby. The Tampa Bay Hotel cost approximately 2.5 million dollars to build and $500,000 to furnish. Consisting of 511 rooms, some of which were suites of 3-7 rooms, it provided a degree of luxury never before seen in Tampa. Most of the rooms had their own baths and all had electricity and telephones. In addition, guests were surrounded by a varied collection of furniture, porcelains, Venetian-style mirrors, and sculptures gathered by Mr. and Mrs. Plant in their travels in Europe. The Tampa Bay Hotel opened in 1891 amid wide fanfare and celebration. Henry Plant's dream was now a reality. The newspapers of the day described it as "brightly illuminated, filled with sumptuous decorations, thrilling music and graced with turrets, domes and minarets towering heavenward and glistening in the sun." It was a Victorian palace. The hotel was a lively place with balls, tea parties, and organized hunts during the winter social season. It was open seasonally from December to April in the 1890's. Once a guest arrived at the hotel, he needed to be entertained. Guests went wild game hunting as well as fresh and salt-water fishing. Water sports were also included like sailing, rowing, and canoeing. For the less adventuresome, there were bicycles, carriages, and rickshaws to ride you around the property. The hotel also offered golf, tennis, shuffleboard, billiards, and even a racetrack.

Résumé : National audience
Les leishmanioses sont des maladies parasitaires à transmission vectorielle observées sur tous les continents, à l’exception de l’Amérique du Nord et de l’Australie. Nous focaliserons ici sur la leishmaniose viscérale méditerranéenne due à Leishmania infantum et dont l’incidence annuelle est estimée entre 1200 et 2000 cas. Son cycle biologique est zoonotique avec un réservoir animal essentiellement canin. Les récentes observations épidémiologiques sont rapportées ici, notamment la mise en évidence du portage humain asymptomatique et l’extension de la zone endémique de la leishmaniose canine. La prise en charge thérapeutique de la leishmaniose viscérale méditerranéenne du patient immunocompétent fait essentiellement appel à l’amphotéricine B liposomale. Le débat existe toujours sur la pertinence d’une prophylaxie secondaire ou des traitements itératifs à chaque rechute chez le patient co-infecté par le VIH. Summary Leishmaniasis are protozoan infections transmitted by the bite of the sandflies, widely reported except in North-America and Australia. Here, we focus on mediterranean visceral leishmaniasis due to Leishmania infantum, with an estimated annual incidence of 1200–2000 cases. Its biological cycle is zoonotic and mainly involves the canine reservoir. The recent epidemiological observations are reported here, particularly the asymptomatic carriage but also the extension of the canine enzooty. Regarding treatment of immunocompetent patients, the drug of choice for mediterranean visceral leishmaniasis is liposomal amphotericin B. In case of HIV-Leishmania co-infection, the interest of secondary prophylaxis is still in debate

Résumé : Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen of humans and warm-blooded animals. It is foundin healthy carriage and can cause a wide range of infections in its hosts. The epithelial surface is theprincipal site of staphylococcal infection. The pathogens have evolved sophisticated mechanisms tohijack the main function of the host cells, thus promoting their invasion and colonization. Amongstthese effects are, alteration of host cell apoptosis, promotion of cell proliferation or conversely,inhibition of cell growth. Using human cervix cancer HeLa and mammary gland bovine MAC-Tepithelial cells, we studied the cytopathic effect of S. aureus and its ability to affect host cell cycle.Using microscopic examination, we found that S. aureus induced the cytopathic effect resulting in theenlargement of the host cells 72 hours post infection. Our experiments showed that the proliferationrate of the epithelial cells was slowed down in S. aureus-infected culture. Three different S. aureusstrains from human and animal origins were used and showed similar effect on both human and bovinecells. Microscopic analysis of DAPI-stained cells revealed huge decrease of mitotic indexes in infectedHeLa and Mac-T cells, synchronized by Double Thymidine Block. Using flow cytometry analysis, wefound that S. aureus induces G2/M phase delay in synchronous HeLa cells. By Western blot analysis,we showed that the G2/M phase delay was associated with accumulation of inactive phosphorylatedcyclin-dependent kinase Cdk1/cdc2, a key inducer of mitosis entry, and dephosphorylation of corehistone H3, an important component of the epigenetic landscape.These results suggest that the delay in G2/M phase transition of the infected epithelial cells may beone of the mechanisms employed by S. aureus to survive and to propagate inside the host. A fullcomprehension of the mechanisms associated to S. aureus-host cell interactions will undoubtedly helpto discover novel targets to treat staphylococcal infections.

Résumé : International audience
1. Our understanding of the contribution of interspecific interactions to functional diversity in nature lags behind our knowledge of spatial and temporal patterns. Although two-species mutualisms are found in all types of ecosystems, the study of their ecological influences on other community members has mostly been limited to third species, while their influence on entire communities remains largely unexplored. 2. We hypothesized that mutualistic interactions between two respective ant species and an epiphyte mediate the biological traits composition of entire invertebrate communities that use the same host plant, thereby affecting food webs and functional diversity at the community level. 3. Aechmea mertensii (Bromeliaceae) is both a phytotelm ('plant-held water') and an ant-garden epiphyte. We sampled 111 bromeliads (111 aquatic invertebrate communities) associated with either the ant Pachycondyla goeldii or Camponotus femoratus. The relationships between ants, bromeliads and invertebrate abundance data were examined using a redundancy analysis. Biological traits information for invertebrates was structured using a fuzzy-coding technique, and a co-inertia analysis between traits and abundance data was used to interpret functional differences in bromeliad ecosystems. 4. The vegetative traits of A. mertensii depended on seed dispersion by C. femoratus and P. goeldii along a gradient of local conditions. The ant partner selected sets of invertebrates with traits that were best adapted to the bromeliads' morphology, and so the composition of the biological traits of invertebrate phytotelm communities depends on the identity of the ant partner. Biological traits suggest a bottom-up control of community structure in C. fenaoratus-associated phytotelmata and a greater structuring role for predatory invertebrates in P. goeldii-associated plants. 5. This study presents new information showing that two-species mutualisms affect the functional diversity of a much wider range of organisms. Most biological systems form complex networks where nodes (e.g. species) are more or less closely linked to each other, either directly or indirectly, through intermediate nodes. Our observations provide community-level information about biological interactions and functional diversity, and perspectives for further observations intended to examine whether large-scale changes in interacting species/community structure over broad geographical and anthropogenic gradients affect ecosystem functions.
