A framework for selecting a suite of indicators for fisheries management
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Rice, Jake; Rochet, Marie-joelle.
We develop a framework for the objective selection of a suite of indicators for use in fisheries management. The framework encompasses eight steps, and provides guidance on pitfalls to be avoided at each step. Step I identifies user groups and their needs, featuring the setting of operational objectives, and Step 2 identifies a corresponding list of candidate indicators. Step 3 assigns weights to nine screening criteria for the candidate indicators: concreteness, theoretical basis, public awareness, cost, measurement, historic data, sensitivity, responsiveness, and specificity. Step 4 scores the indicators against the criteria, and Step 5 summarizes the results. Steps 3-5 offer technical aspects on which guidance is provided, including scoring standards...

A new Cretaceous terrestrial ecosystem from Gondwana with the description of a new sauropod dinosaur
Provedor de dados: Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Autores: Calvo,Jorge O.; Porfiri,Juan D.; González-Riga,Bernardo J.; Kellner,Alexander W.A.
A unique site at the northern area of Patagonia (Neuquén, Argentina) reveals a terrestrial ecosystem preserved in a detail never reported before in a Late Cretaceous deposit. An extraordinary diversity and abundance of fossils was found concentrated in a 0.5 m horizon in the same quarry, including a new titanosaur sauropod, Futalognkosaurus dukei n.gen., n.sp, which is the most complete giant dinosaur known so far. Several plant leaves, showing a predominance of angiosperms over gymnosperms that likely constituted the diet of F. dukei were found too. Other dinosaurs (sauropods, theropods, ornithopods), crocodylomorphs, pterosaurs, and fishes were also discovered, allowing a partial reconstruction of this Gondwanan continental ecosystem.

SODACAL prawn farm which was set up as a pilot farm for the development of a prawn industry in New Caledonia, saw its production exponentially rise from 1984 to 1992 (to 400 t/year, then experienced a sharp drop in 1993 (250 t/year) which carried on until 1997, and finally rose back to a stabilizing level around 400 t/year until 1999. The study analyses the difficulties observed before and during the drop of production. Among them, mortality outbreaks, other biological perturbations (benthic mat clearing and crab and fish mortality) and focus on the noxious state of the bottom (reduced and smelling sulfide hydrogen). It particularly shows that Syndrome 93 outbreaks could be observed on this farm from 1990. The analysis highlights the particular climatic...

On estime à l'heure actuelle que la consommation de poisson par habitant devrait doubler d'ici à 2030, comme elle l'a fait entre 1973 et 2003. Que devons-nous faire pour mieux préserver (voire accroître) les réserves de poisson, qui sont en diminution constante ? Qu'en est-il de l'aquaculture ? Peut-elle répondre à cette demande croissante, et si oui quel en sera l'impact environnemental ? Comment les pays pauvres peuvent-ils en particulier exiger des sociétés qui la pratiquent de prendre en charge les frais supplémentaires liés à une production d'aquaculture durable ?

The Southern Ocean plays a critical role in regulating global climate as a major sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), and in global ocean biogeochemistry by supplying nutrients to the global thermocline, thereby influencing global primary production and carbon export. Biogeochemical processes within the Southern Ocean regulate regional primary production and biological carbon uptake, primarily through iron supply, and support ecosystem functioning over a range of spatial and temporal scales. Here, we assimilate existing knowledge and present new data to examine the biogeochemical cycles of iron, carbon and major nutrients, their key drivers and their responses to, and roles in, contemporary climate and environmental change. Projected increases in...

Developmental Disorders as Pathological Resilience Domains
Provedor de dados: Ecology and Society
Autores: Wallace, Rodrick; ; wallace@pi.cpmc.columbia.edu.
Ecosystem resilience theory permits novel exploration of developmental psychiatric and chronic physical disorders. Structured psychosocial stress, and similar noxious exposures, can write distorted images of themselves onto child growth, and, if sufficiently powerful, adult development as well, initiating a punctuated life course trajectory to characteristic forms of comorbid mind/body dysfunction. For an individual, within the linked network of broadly cognitive psysiological and mental subsystems, this occurs in a manner almost exactly similar to resilience domain shifts affecting a stressed ecosystem, suggesting that reversal or palliation may often be exceedingly difficult. Thus resilience theory may contribute significant new perspectives to the...

Ecosystem approach to fisheries: a brief overview and some considerations for its application in ICCAT
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Fromentin, Jean-marc; Fonteneau, Alain; Restrepo, Victor.
During the last SCRS plenary meeting, the sub-committee on environment suggested to present a document on the ‘Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries’ (EAF). This document firstly recalls the general scientific and institutional background of EAF, then we propose a synoptic view of EAF, including four main domains: governance, exploitation, resources and impacts on ecosystems. The way that EAF is tackled within the various tuna commissions is then summarised. Finally, we rapidly examine the way the SCRS could cope with EAF issues and we suggest to merge the sub-committee on environment with this on by-catch into a single subcommittee on ecosystem.

Ecosystem Services and Food Security: Economic Perspectives on Environmental Sustainability
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Richardson,   Robert B.
Food security in developing countries depends in part on the sustainable use of natural resources. Food security is usually examined through three dimensions, namely the availability, access, and utilization of food. Ecosystems directly and indirectly support each of these dimensions through the provision of critical ecosystem services that facilitate agricultural production, create income- generating opportunities, and provide energy for cooking. However, in some cases, household uses of natural resources undermine particular elements of  food security, hindering national poverty reduction strategies and threatening the sustainability of critical ecosystem functions. I examine the role of ecosystem services in rural food security through the lens of its...

Autores: Desbruyeres, Daniel; Goulletquer, Philippe.
Research needs and interests on biodiversity have drastically increased since the Rio Conference (1992). The main conclusions from the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA, 2001) carried out by the UN and the demonstration of the critical role of biodiversity in maintaining ecosystems services have strengthened research interests on biodiversity. Moreover, the systemic approach generalization, complex system modeling, confluence of thematic prompting new scientific concepts, and multi-scalar – multifunctional approach have induced significant changes to the scientific context. A review of major advances on biodiversity monitoring and research resulting from Ifremer programs will be presented considering deep sea as well as coastal ecosystems and associated...

Management actions to protect endangered species and conserve ecosystem function may not always be in precise alignment.  Efforts to recover the California Ridgway&amp;#8217;s Rail (Rallus obsoletus obsoletus; hereafter, California rail), a federally and state-listed species, and restoration of tidal marsh ecosystems in the San Francisco Bay estuary provide a prime example of habitat restoration that has conflicted with species conservation.  On the brink of extinction from habitat loss and degradation, and non-native predators in the 1990s, California rail populations responded positively to introduction of a non-native plant, Atlantic cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora).  California rail populations were in substantial decline when the non-native Spartina...

L'huître perlière, Pinctada margaritifera (Linné, 1758) var. cumingi (Reeve), productrice de perles noires, fait l' objet d'une aquaculture florissante en Polynésie Française. Afin de pérenniser cette activité, un programme de recherche (le PGRN) a été lancé, en 1990, sur l' atoll de Takapoto. L' un des thèmes de ce programme réside dans l'étude de la capacité trophique d'un lagon soumis à une activité de perliculture. A cet égard, un modèle déterministe expliquant la croissance et la reproduction de P. margaritifera à partir des paramètres du milieu (notamment la nourriture disponible) a été mis au point. La construction de ce modèle a impliqué : ( 1) l'analyse de l'hydrobiologie du lagon; (2) l'étude de la physiologie de P. margaritifera; (3) le sui vi...

From ecosystems to human welfare: the role and conservation of biodiversity
Provedor de dados: Ciência Rural
Autores: Zhang,Zhenguo; Zhou,Jun.
ABSTRACT:  Biodiversity plays a key role in human welfare by providing agricultural, economic, and health benefits. However, following the industrial revolution, the rapid expansion of the human population and subsequent economic activities have caused a dramatic loss in global biodiversity, resulting in significant disturbances to ecosystems and our own living conditions. Accordingly, the conservation of biodiversity has become one of the most important challenges for humanity. The vast numbers of plants, animals, and microorganisms, the enormous genetic diversity of these species and the different ecosystems to which these organisms belong are all part of a biologically diverse planet. A substantial proportion of the world’s biodiversity has been...

Autores: Abrão,F.O.; Barreto,S.M.P.; Geraseev,L.C.; Duarte,E.R.
The presence of anaerobic fungi structures was evaluated in ruminal juice of beef goats and beef cattle raised in the North of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The strains were collected from 18 Anglo-Nubian crossbred male goats and 23 Nellore crossbred steers during the dry period of the year. Physical-chemical characteristics of the juice were evaluated and direct examination with KOH digestion was performed for anaerobic fungi detection. Structures of these fungi were detected in samples of 14 (77.8%) goats and 17 (73.9%) steers. The monocentric fungi frequency (56.5%) was significantly higher in cattle than polycentric fungi frequency (26.1%). This study is the first report of anaerobic ruminal fungi in these ruminants in Brazil and showed high prevalence of...

Researcher since 1974 at CNEXO (National Centre for Exploration of the Oceans), then at IFREMER (French Institute for Exploitation of the Sea), I have at the same time brought to the work of researching the dynamics of exploited ichthyologic populations actions for enhanced improvement and transfer of knowledge to help managers and stakeholders administer these resources and restore them if needed.  This activity led me to play a double role: that of the expert who is asked to set up "a truth judgment" on a given subject or according to a specific question, and that of the scientist faced with the judgment of his peers who strives not to go against his knowledge (i.e., that which is subject to the criticism of the scientific community).

Impact of climatic and anthropogenic changes on living resources in the Bay of Biscaye
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Goulletquer, Philippe.
Fisheries and aquaculture are of major importance to the coastal communities throughout the Bay of Biscaye. Almost half of French fishermen rely on catches from the Bay which achieve and estimated first sale value of more than €525m annually. Moreover, emblematic species such as eels have an additional economic as weil as social value for coastal communities. Similarly, the main French shellfish rearing areas are located within the Bay of Biscaye. They contribute predominantly to the yearly spat (mussel &amp; oyster) recruitment, used to sustain the entire French shellfish industry. These activities have a direct impact on ecosystem functioning and biodiversity. Meanwhile, drastic environmental changes have been reported over the last 30 years, including a...

Invasive Weeds, Wildfire, and Rancher Decision Making in the Great Basin
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Kobayashi,   Mimako; Harris,   Thomas R.; Rollins,   Kimberly S.
In this article, a numerical stochastic dynamic programming model (SDP) is developed to characterize the decision problem of a rancher operating on rangelands in northern Nevada that are affected by invasive annual grasses and wildfire.  The model incorporates decisions about herd size management of a cow-calf operation and fuels treatment to reduce the size of rangeland wildfires.  Currently, high transactions costs to obtain permits to implement land treatments on federally-owned rangelands appear to limit rancher involvement.  The results of the model suggest that ranch income motives alone are likely insufficient for private ranchers to adopt preventative land treatments.  The current treatment cost ($20 per acre at the minimum) appears to be...

Knowledge for Society. How to limit impacts on marine biodiversity ?
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Goulletquer, Philippe.
At the present time, it has been determined that the average fish consumption per inhabitant should double by the year 2030, as it did between 1973 and 2003. Hence, what should we do to better preserve (if not increase) fish stocks that are constantly decreasing? How should aquaculture be considered? Can it meet this growing demand, and if so, what will be its environmental impact? How could developing countries ask aquaculture companies to take care of the extra costs linked to a sustainable aquaculture production?

This monograph is the first to state by a systematic research the rules which control the production of the organic losses in shape of eggs and exoskeletons during the life of Crustacea. The weight and the energy content of the material thrown out are the chief criteria selected to characterize the germinal production, relative to the egg-mass, and the exuvial production, relative to the organic fraction of the exoskeleton. The determination of these parameters, at the level of the organism or of the population, takes into account the systematic position of the animals, the duration of their intermolt periods, fecundity and other indices in relation to environmental factors. The loss of matter and energy with reproduction and molting(studied for different...

Land Use Change and Ecosystem Valuation in North Georgia
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ngugi,   Daniel; Mullen,   Jeffrey D.; Bergstrom,   John C.
This study seeks to forecast land use change in a North Georgia ecosystem, and estimate the economic value of the ecosystem using benefit transfer techniques. We forecast land use change based on a structural time series model and a simple growth rate model.  The study suggests a lower bound willingness to pay value of about USD 16,000 per year to ensure compliance with fishing and drinking water quality standards with regard to fecal coliform bacteria and dissolved oxygen. Conservation efforts are likely to cost less than the cost of defensive behavior or ecosystem restoration.

Autores: Ngugi,   Daniel; Mullen,   Jeffrey D.; Bergstrom,   John C.
A model of land allocation at the aggregate watershed level was developed assuming profit/net benefit maximization under risk neutrality. The econometric land use model was analyzed as an equation by equation SURE model as all the independent variables were the same for both equations. In analyzing effect of land use change on water quality, we took year 2005 as our baseline and postulated three land use scenarios. We applied Benefit Transfer techniques to value water quality changes resulting from land use change and estimated lower bounds for WTP to improve water quality to meet the FCB criterion for drinking water supply and fishing waters and BOD (DO) criteria for fishing waters.

Land Use Change, Benefit Transfer and Ecosystem Valuation in North Georgia
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ngugi,   Daniel; Mullen,   Jeffrey D.; Bergstrom,   John C.
This study seeks to forecast land use change in a North Georgia ecosystem, and estimate the economic value of the ecosystem using benefit transfer techniques. We forecast land use change based on a structural time series model and a simple growth rate model.  The study suggests a lower bound willingness to pay value of about USD 16,000 per year to ensure compliance with fishing and drinking water quality standards with regard to fecal coliform bacteria and dissolved oxygen. Conservation efforts are likely to cost less than the cost of defensive behavior or ecosystem restoration.

L'ostréiculture en baie de Bourgneuf. Relation entre la croissance des huîtres  Crassostrea gigas et le milieu naturel : synthèse de 1986 a 1995
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Barille-boyer, Anne-laure; Haure, Joel; Baud, Jean-pierre.
The oyster growth has been studied for a 10 year period, from 1986 to 1995, in four locations of the bay of Bourgneuf (French Atlantic Coast). The relations between oysters growth and the main molluscs stocks (cultivated oysters and wild mussels) or environmental factors (hydrobiology, currents, climatology) are analysed to understand the functioning of this shellfish ecosystem. As the water renewal time is about two months, primary production is essentially autochtonal. Phytoplankton development is controlled by the nutrients brought by the river Loire. An important part of the microalgac is composed by the microphytobenthos resuspended by west wind. High seston concentrations, measured on the North of the bay (150 mg/1 as an average), have a negative...

MATHEMATICAL MODELS IN CROP PROTECTION
Provedor de dados: Revista de Protección Vegetal
Autores: Levins,Richard; Miranda,Ileana.
In the present work, the models of dynamics ecological populations were described. The development of the models, in order to describe these populations was presented. They have evolved from an independent way to the models that represent the evaluation of epidemiology in humans. The differential equations that describe the relationships prey-predator, crop-pest and migration effect were shown. It was also described the possibility to represent these models by means of equations in difference and computerized simulation systems. The interconnection between a mathematical model and the ecosystem stability according to the biological parameters was showed. Ecological questions that can be answered analyzing the models were approached.

Micronekton distribution in the southwest Pacific (New Caledonia) inferred from shipboard-ADCP backscatter data
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)

Acoustic data are invaluable information sources for characterizing the distribution and abundance of mid-trophic-level organisms (micronekton). These organisms play a pivotal role in the ecosystem as prey of top predators and as predators of low-trophic-level organisms. Although shipboard-ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) acoustic backscatter signal intensity cannot provide an absolute biomass estimate, it may be a useful proxy to investigate variability in the distribution and relative density of micronekton. This study used acoustic recordings data spread across 19 years (1999–2017) from 54 ADCP cruises in New Caledonia’s subtropical EEZ (exclusive economic zone) to assess seasonal and interannual variabilities and spatial distribution of...

Modeling energy flow in a large Neotropical reservoir: a tool do evaluate fishing and stability
Provedor de dados: Neotropical Ichthyology
Autores: Angelini,Ronaldo; Agostinho,Angelo Antonio; Gomes,Luiz Carlos.
Recently, there is an increasing perception that the ecosystem approach gives important insights to support fisheries stock assessment and management. This paper aims to quantify energy flows in the Itaipu Reservoir (Brazil) and to simulate increase of the fishing effort of some species, using Ecopath with Ecosim software, which could allow inferences on stability. Therefore, two steady-state Itaipu models were built (1983-87 and 1988-92). Results showed that: a) there are no differences between models, and results on aging trends do not vary over time indicating that fishery does not alter the ecosystem as a whole; b) results of fisheries simulations are approximate to mono-specific stock assessment for the same species and periods; c) many authors...

Multidisciplinary ocean observing activities provide critical ocean information to satisfy ever-changing socioeconomic needs and require coordinated implementation. The upper oxycline (transition between high and low oxygen waters) is fundamentally important for the ecosystem structure and can be a useful proxy for multiple observing objectives connected to eastern boundary systems (EBSs) that neighbor oxygen minimum zones (OMZs). The variability of the oxycline and its impact on the ecosystem (VOICE) initiative demonstrates how societal benefits drive the need for integration and optimization of biological, biogeochemical, and physical components of regional ocean observing related to EBS. In liaison with the Global Ocean Oxygen Network, VOICE creates a...

New applications of hydroacoustic methods for monitoring shallow water aquatic ecosystems: the case of mussel culture grounds
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Brehmer, Patrice; Gerlotto, François; Guillard, Joelle; Sanguinede, Fabien; Guennegan, Yvon; Buestel, Dominique.
The development of acoustics tools and methods for monitoring anthropized ecosystems represents a new field for the application of acoustics. Monitoring such an environment was not possible with single vertical echo sounders, due to the fact that the artificial structures and the natural targets were not distinguishable. Monitoring data were collected along the French Mediterranean coastline, during five short surveys of mussel culture longline areas. Both the Reson Seabat 6012 multibeam sonar (455 kHz) and the Simrad SR 240 omnidirectional sonar (23.75 kHz) were used for target detection. The former tools allow accurate allocation of the different types of echoes to artefacts, fish schools and scattered fish. The school characteristics collected included...

Phytoplankton competition and coexistence: Intrinsic ecosystem dynamics and impact of vertical mixing
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Perruche, Coralie; Riviere, Pascal; Pondaven, Philippe; Carton, Xavier.
This paper aims at studying analytically the functioning of a very simple ecosystem model with two phytoplankton species. First, using the dynamical system theory, we determine its nonlinear equilibria, their stability and characteristic timescales with a focus on phytoplankton competition. Particular attention is paid to the model sensitivity to parameter change. Then, the influence of vertical mixing and sinking of detritus on the vertically-distributed ecosystem model is investigated. The analytical results reveal a high diversity of ecosystem structures with fixed points and limit cycles that are mainly sensitive to variations of light intensity and total amount of nitrogen matter. The sensitivity to other parameters such as remineralisation, growth...

The scientist community, the fishing organisations and all involved parties show a growing interest in an integrated project management of the sea space exploited by fishing communities. A key to reach such a target is to make available reliable and precise scientist data on the different components of the fishing systems.  For about twenty years, and in its mission to support the development of an integrated management for a sustainable use of marine resources, Ifremer has been organising monitoring campaigns of fishery resources along the shores of France. These campaigns aim at providing abundance indicator on species of interest. They consequently provide an essential knowledge base to characterize and trace the status of exploited fish and...

The integration of fishing management into the ecosystemic approach has been recommended for many years by international consultative bodies; it is also written into international conventions and agreements. The implementation of the ecosystemic approach involves the development of programmes for monitoring exploited ecosystems in order to measure the effects of management steps. Plotting the results of these observations for operational reasons requires formalizing summary performance indicators.  IFREMER has carried out halieutic observation campaigns for some twenty years along the coasts of France from oceanographic ships and chartered ships. The objective of these campaigns is to produce abundance indices of species that are of halieutic interest....

Production of shellfish production models
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Bacher, Cedric.
The first definition we could give to model is quite general : a model is any representation of the real world or what it is supposed to be at a given moment ; it clearly depends on the knowledge about reality or part of it ; as an abstraction it is necessary based on concepts and assumptions. This paper deals with mathematical modls only and among them, those which try to simulate biological mechanisms (for about 15 years however, other mathematicial approaches have been developping such as adaptative strategies, adapted from economics). Simulation alloxs to study dynamical behaviour of the elements of the ecosystem (which we denoted the real world) defined by the modeliser. Then two main purposes may be reached by the model :  - prediction and management...

Resilience and Restoration of Lakes
Provedor de dados: Ecology and Society
Autores: Carpenter, Stephen R; University of Wisconsin-Madison; srcarpen@wisc.edu; Cottingham, Kathryn L; ; cottingh@nceas.ucsb.edu.
Lake water quality and ecosystem services are normally maintained by several feedbacks.  Among these are nutrient retention and humic production by wetlands, nutrient retention and woody habitat production by riparian forests, food web structures that cha nnel phosphorus to consumers rather than phytoplankton, and biogeochemical mechanisms that inhibit phosphorus recycling from sediments.  In degraded lakes, these resilience mechanisms are replaced by new ones that connect lakes to larger, regional economi c and social systems.  New controls that maintain degraded lakes include runoff from agricultural and urban areas, absence of wetlands and riparian forests, and changes in lake food webs and biogeochemistry that channel phosphorus to blooms of nuisance...

RESOURCE EXPLOITATION, BIODIVERSITY AND ECOLOGICAL EVENTS
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tsur,   Yacov; Zemel,   Amos.
We study the management of a natural resource that supports ecosystems as well as human needs.  The reduction in the resource base poses a threat of occurrence of catastrophic ecological events, such as the sudden collapse of the natural habitat, that lead to severe loss of biodiversity.  The event occurrence conditions involve uncertainty of various types, and the distinction among these types affects the optimal exploitation policies.  When uncertainty is due to our ignorance of some aspects of the underlying ecology, the isolated equilibrium states characterizing optimal exploitation for many renewable resource problems become equilibrium intervals, giving rise to hysteresis phenomena.  Events triggered by genuinely stochastic environmental conditions...

Seagrass ecosystems
Provedor de dados: IBSS Repository
Autores: Phillips, R. C.; Milchakova, N. A.
The seagrass ecosystem is defined as a unit of biological organization comprised of interacting biotic and abiotic components. The structural components are shelter and food and feeding pathways and biodiversity. Functional components include the rate of nutrient cycling, the rate of energy flow, and biological regulation. Healthy intact seagrass ecosystems provide services since they relate to the health, stability and well-being of the environment in which they live, but also to that of human populations.

Selecting a Land Conservation Reserve for Local or Regional Ecosystem Health with Development: Amphibian Metapopulation and Residential Development
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jiang,   Yong; Swallow,   Stephen K.; Paton,   Peter.
Establishing habitat corridors has been an important strategy in many conservation practices.  Nonetheless, the existing literature has ignored the role habitat corridors could play in reserve network design.  Based on modern ecological theory, the effectiveness of a reserve system largely depends on its connectivity, but it is less clear how recent spatial modeling of reserve network design improves the connectivity of the reserve system as required by population persistence in a highly fragmented, heterogeneous landscape.  This study explicitly incorporates the idea of habitat corridor into optimal reserve design, an approach which might significantly reduce the uncertainty brought by land use change or a source-sink habitat matrix.  More importantly, by...

Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Sanchez, Frédéric; Geffroy, Solene; Norest, Manon; Yau, Sheree; Moreau, Hervé; Grimsley, Nigel.
Ostreococcus tauri is an easily cultured representative of unicellular algae (class Mamiellophyceae) that abound in oceans worldwide. Eight complete 13–22 Mb genomes of phylogenetically divergent species within this class are available, and their DNA sequences are nearly always present in metagenomic data produced from marine samples. Here we describe a simplified and robust transformation protocol for the smallest of these algae (O. tauri). Polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatment was much more efficient than the previously described electroporation protocol. Short (2 min or less) incubation times in PEG gave &gt;104 transformants per microgram DNA. The time of cell recovery after transformation could be reduced to a few hours, permitting the experiment to be...

Sustainable Development of the Boreal Forest: Interaction of Ecological, Social, and Business Feedbacks

Autores: Chapin, F. Stuart; University of Alaska; fffsc@aurora.uaf.edu; Whiteman, Gail; Queen's University; whiteman@nsi-ins.ca.
Humans are an integral component of ecosystems, just as the products of ecosystems are critical to social systems. To understand the future state of the boreal forest, we must understand the ecological, social, economic, and business interactions that link ecological and social systems into a common regional system, as well as the feedbacks that govern changes in these interactions. We analyze the negative feedbacks that promoted a sustainable interaction between ecological and social systems prior to the development of business systems, which are dominated by positive feedbacks that have reduced the sustainability of the boreal system. We suggest a minimum set of interactions that are required to improve the sustainability of a business-based boreal system.

The Economic Impact of Global Climate Change on Mediterranean Rangeland Ecosystems: A Space-for-Time Approach
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Fleischer,   Aliza; Sternberg,   Marcelo.
Global Climate Change (GCC) can bring about changes in ecosystems and consequently in their services value.  Here we show that the urban population in Israel values the green landscape of rangelands in the mesic Mediterranean climate region and is willing to pay for preserving it in light of the expected increasing aridity conditions in this region.  Their valuation of the landscape is higher than that of the grazing services these rangelands provide for livestock growers.  These results stem form a Time-for-Space approach with which we were able to measure changes in biomass production and rainfall at four experimental sites along an aridity gradient.

Abstract: As a focus for conservation efforts, biodiversity has received increased attention in the last fifty years. Searching for patterns in biodiversity, researchers have suggested studies including: ecological communities, cladistics classifications, hierarchical compositions of different levels of organization, and groups of taxonomically related species. Here, we propose that the study of the biodiversity of interactions may present a new perspective in the efforts to conserve biodiversity, especially in endangered ecosystems like the tropical savannas. We suggest that Cerrado, like other tropical savannas, is a particularly important ecosystem in which we can direct efforts to explain what determines the major part of variation in the outcomes of...

TRANSMER, hydrodynamic model for medium- and long-term simulation of radionuclides transfers in the English Channel and southern North Sea
Provedor de dados: Institutional Archive of Ifreme (ArchiMer)
Autores: Bailly Du Bois, Pascal; Dumas, Franck.
TRANSMER hydrodynamic model simulates dispersion of dissolved substances in seawater at the scale of the English Channel and the south of the North Sea with a mesh size of one kilometre and a time step of 30 minutes. This model evaluates the medium- and long-term consequences of releases of soluble pollutants in the marine ecosystem under normal or accidental conditions, at a very low computation cost (it takes less than one hour to simulate one year). It has been qualitatively and quantitatively validated by 1400 measurements of 125Sb in seawater in the English Channel and the North Sea. Budgets of measured and simulated radionuclide quantities are balanced for theses seas. The correlation factor between individual measurements in seawater and calculation...

Океанографические условия и экологические проблемы Керченского пролива
Provedor de dados: IBSS Repository
Autores: Еремеев, В. Н.; Иванов, В. А.; Ильин, Ю. П.
Изложены основные особенности океанографического режима Керченского пролива, в том числе ветрового волнения, колебаний уровня моря, системы течений и водообмена, ледового режима, гидрохимических условий, транспорта наносов. Выделены существующие и потенциальные экологические проблемы, связанные с зарегулированием водообмена через пролив. Это дает основу для предварительного качественного анализа возможных последствий антропогенного вмешательства в сложную морскую экосистему, в частности – строительства дамбы в Тузлинской промоине.

Проблема переноса водных организмов судами и некоторые подходы к оценке риска новых инвазий
Provedor de dados: IBSS Repository
Autores: Александров, Б. Г.
Сделан обзор проблемы переселения водных организмов в Мировом океане с балластными водами судов. Представлены предварительные результаты базовых биологических исследований в акватории Одесского порта в рамках Международной программы (IMO/GEF/UNDP) «ГлоБалласт» по выявлению экзотических видов. Анализируется метод оценки риска инвазий с балластными водами судов в портовые акватории. Обосновываются некоторые рекомендации по его совершенствованию. Обсуждаются некоторые подходы к прогнозированию видового состава вероятных вселенцев на примере экосистемы северо-западной части Черного моря.

Современные междисциплинарные модели экосистемы Черного моря
Provedor de dados: IBSS Repository
Autores: Иванов, В. А.; Любарцева, С. П.; Михайлова, Э. Н.; Шапиро, Н. Б.
Обсуждается наш опыт моделирования экосистемы Черного моря. Трехкомпонентная модель экосистемы (планктон, биоген, детрит) объединяется с трехмерной гидротермодинамической моделью для исследования причинно-следственных связей между вынуждающими физическими силами и биогеохимической изменчивостью в приустьевой зоне Дуная. С учетом механизма физического переноса, фотосинтеза, смертности планктона, оседания и реминерализации детрита решаются уравнения типа адвекция-диффузия-реакция. Чтобы изучить влияние метеорологических условий на состояние экосистемы, было проведено три численных эксперимента: при отсутствии ветра и слабом (5 м/с) северо-восточном и северо-западном ветре. Была разработана объединенная трехмерная крупномасштабная модель Черного моря,...
