Résumé : Best paper for innovative research

This paper investigates the interest of using the Kinematic Theory of rapid human movements to analyseand evaluate the handwriting produced by young kindergarten children in typical classroom environment. A total of66 children participated in this trial. For the preliminary results reported herein, movements from 15 children, takenevenly from three different levels (3, 4, and 5 years old), were analyzed. Our results confirm that 1) the sigmalognormalequation can model accurately childen’s movement and 2) that this modeling can differentiate betweenchildren of different school levels, hence supporting the relevance of pursuing along this original pathway.

Résumé : International audience
Estrogens are known as steroid hormones affecting the brain in many different ways and a wealth of data now document effects on neurogenesis. Estrogens are provided by the periphery but can also be locally produced within the brain itself due to local aromatization of circulating androgens. Adult neurogenesis is described in all vertebrate species examined so far, but comparative investigations have brought to light differences between vertebrate groups. In teleost fishes, the neurogenic activity is spectacular and adult stem cells maintain their mitogenic activity in many proliferative areas within the brain. Fish are also quite unique because brain aromatase expression is limited to radial glia cells, the progenitor cells of adult fish brain. The zebrafish has emerged as an interesting vertebrate model to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of adult neurogenesis, and notably its modulation by steroids. The main objective of this review is to summarize data related to the functional link between estrogens production in the brain and neurogenesis in fish. First, we will demonstrate that the brain of zebrafish is an endogenous source of steroids and is directly targeted by local and/or peripheral steroids. Then, we will present data demonstrating the progenitor nature of radial glial cells in the brain of adult fish. Next, we will emphasize the role of estrogens in constitutive neurogenesis and its potential contribution to the regenerative neurogenesis. Finally, the negative impacts on neurogenesis of synthetic hormones used in contraceptive pills production and released in the aquatic environment will be discussed

Résumé : International audience
Acromyrmex octospinosus (Reich), est une fourmi champignonniste qui vit dans un nid souterrain en symbiose avec un champignon du genre Leucoagrinus. Elle est la seule espèce du genre Acromyrmex recensée en Guadeloupe et est appelée " Fourmi manioc". C'est une espèce invasive; découverte en 1954, dans une seule localité, elle est présente dans presque toute la totalité de l'île. Fourmi défoliatrice, elle s'attaque à de nombreuses cultures (vivrières, fruitières,....) et actuellement, elle représente un danger pour certaines espèces patrimoniales et des essences forestières. L'objectif du projet est de proposer des solutions de lutte efficaces mais respectueuses de la santé et de l'environnement et qui s'intègrent dans un schéma de développent durable de la Guadeloupe.
