Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'impact du changement climatique sur la glace de mer et les écosystèmes polaires qui en dépendent est reconnu depuis plusieurs décennies. Cependant, ces milieux sont généralement difficiles à étudier en raison de leur climat extrême, de leur isolement et des difficultés logistiques associées. Le manque de connaissances concernant les mécanismes reliant les traits d'histoire de vie des organismes polaires et la variation de la glace de mer est particulièrement préjudiciable à notre compréhension des conséquences du changement climatique sur les espèces longévives comme les oiseaux marins polaires. Ces derniers, généralement situés au sommet des réseaux trophiques, pourraient cependant constituer des espèces sentinelles des écosystèmes liés à la glace de mer. L'objectif de cette thèse est d'améliorer les connaissances sur les processus impliqués dans les réponses des populations de prédateurs marins polaires aux variations environnementales, et principalement les mécanismes liés à la glace de mer. Pour répondre à cet objectif nous nous sommes basés sur le suivi individuel à long terme de deux espèces d'oiseaux marins polaires, le pétrel des neiges (Pagodroma nivea) et le damier du Cap (Daption capense). Les deux espèces se reproduisent en milieu polaire. L'une est particulièrement dépendante de la glace de mer pour s'alimenter (le pétrel des neiges) tandis que l'autre préfère un habitat libre de glace (le damier du Cap). Au cours de ce travail, nous avons estimé l'influence de facteurs extrinsèques (forçages ascendants, descendants, météorologie locale) et intrinsèques (âge, expérience de reproduction, sexe, colonie) sur les réponses démographiques des espèces à l'aide de modèles multi-états de capture-marquage-recapture. Nous avons également testé l'influence des facteurs environnementaux sur les traits phénotypiques (condition corporelle et phénologie de reproduction) du pétrel des neiges. Chez les damiers du Cap nous montrons une diminution du succès reproducteur ainsi que l'influence de plusieurs paramètres extrinsèques (température de surface de l'eau de mer, prédation, météorologie locale) sur celui-ci. En parallèle nous montrons une augmentation de la survie des adultes et une corrélation de celle-ci avec l'oscillation Antarctique. Chez le pétrel des neiges, nous avons mis en évidence l'influence de la glace de mer et d'autres facteurs extrinsèques (prédation, oscillation Antarctique, météorologie locale) et intrinsèques (sexe, colonie, expérience de reproduction) sur de multiples traits démographiques. Nous avons également montré un décalage (retard) dans la phénologie de reproduction des pétrels des neiges en réponse à des changements environnementaux (concentration de glace de mer, vents) et nous avons constaté que la reproduction retardée avait un impact négatif sur la probabilité d'envol des poussins. Enfin nous avons aussi montré que la concentration de glace de mer et l'oscillation Antarctique ont une influence négative sur la survie et la condition corporelle des juvéniles de pétrel des neiges. Cette thèse permet d'apporter de nouvelles connaissances sur les liens entre glace de mer et les traits d'histoire de vie d'une espèce pagophilique, le pétrel des neiges et d'une espèce moins associée à la glace, le damier du Cap. Ces connaissances permettent de mieux appréhender les conséquences du changement climatique sur les oiseaux marins polaires et les écosystèmes polaires en général, et apporte une contribution à la compréhension de la dynamique des populations concernant les variations démographiques intra spécifiques à fine échelle spatiale.

Download or read book Conceptual Basis Formalisations and Parameterization of the Stics Crop Model written by Nadine Brisson and published by Editions Quae. This book was released on 2009-01-19 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The STICS crop model has been developed since 1996 at INRA in collaboration with other research and technical institutes. The model syntheses, illustrates and concretizes an important part of the French agronomic knowledge as a point of view on the field and cropping systems working. The formalisations of the STICS crop model presented in this book can be considered as references used in the framework of crop sciences. The book arrangement relies on the way the model designs the crop-soil system functioning, each chapter being devoted to a set of important functions such as growth initiation, yield onset, water uptake, transformation of organic matter etc. One chapter deals with the cropping system and long term simulations and the final chapter is about the involvement of the user in terms of option choices and parameterization. If this book is mainly intended for scientists who use the STICS model, it can also be useful for agronomists, crop modellers, students and technicians looking for elementary formalizations of the crop-soil system functioning.

Download or read book The Native American World Beyond Apalachee written by John H. Hann and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length study to use Spanish language sources in documenting the original Indian inhabitants of West Florida who, from the late 16th century to the 1740s, lived to the west and the north of the Apalachee. Previous authors who studied the forebears of Creeks and Seminoles from the Chattahoochee Valley have relied exclusively on English sources dating from the second half of the 18th century, with the exception of John R. Swanton, who had limited access to Spanish records for his classic works from 1922 to 1946. In this history of the region's Native Americans, Hann focuses on the small tribes of West Florida--Amacano, Chine, Chacato, Chisca and Pansacola--and their first contacts with Spanish explorers, colonists, and missionaries. He also gives significant perspective to the forebears of the Lower Creeks, with an emphasis on the late 17th century, when Spanish documents recorded the important events of the interior regions of the Southeast. As Hann's fifth study of Florida natives, this book includes chapters on the Yamasee War and its aftermath and the early 18th-century dissolution of many societies and withdrawal of Spaniards from the region. This volume will be of great interest to archaeologists working in the Lower Southeast, historians and ethnohistorians specializing in Native American or Spanish colonial history, Latin American and Caribbean scholars concerned with Spanish colonial contexts, and anyone interested in Native Americans or Florida history.

Book excerpt: 'Perec is serious fun' The Guardian Both an affectionate portrait of mid-century Paris and a daring memoir, Georges Perec's I Remember is now available in English to UK readers for the first time, with an introduction by David Bellos. In 480 numbered statements, all beginning identically with 'I remember', Perec records a stream of individual memories of a childhood in post-war France, while posing wider questions about memory and nostalgia. As playful and puzzling as the best of his novels, I Remember is an ode to life: the ordinary, the extraordinary, and the sometimes trivial, as seen through the eyes of the irreplaceable Georges Perec.
Download or read book Geography and Empire written by Anne Godlewska and published by Oxford : Blackwell. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geography and Empire re-examines the role of geography in imperialism and reinterprets the geography of empire. It brings together new work by eighteen geographers from ten countries. The book is divided into five parts. Part I considers the early engagement of geographers with the imperial adventures of England and France. Part II focuses on the links between nineteenth-century European imperial expansion and the establishment of the first geographical institutions. Part III examines the rhetoric of geographical description and theory - the climatic determinism that reduced the population of half the world to idle degenerates, and the geopolitics that elevated a small part of the rest to be their rulers. Part IV is concerned with the active role of geographers in imperial administration and planning, and with the beginnings of a critical perspective on imperial ambition. Part V describes the experience of decolonization and of post-colonialism - the ambiguous role of the USA in the former, the difficulties of finding a true voice for the latter. Geography and Empire provides new insights and vivid perspectives not only on the development of the profession and discipline of geography, but on the interactions between individuals, ideas, events and movements - and, most notably, on what happens when one culture invades and attempts to dominate another. It concludes with notes for further reading, a comprehensive bibliography and a full index.
