| We explored the relative importance of ecosystem diversity, socioeconomic, environmental, and geographical factors in determining the pattern and diversity of people’s plant use in Ecuador, based on existing ethnobotanic investigations and a large database of georeferenced plant collections. For each of 40 communities, we determined the number of plants used and their distribution among 12 use categories. Plant species richness of the ecosystem surrounding each village was determined using herbarium data and rarefaction. Variation in socioeconomic, environmental, and geographical indicator variables at the community level was summarized using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Data were then analyzed using multiple regression and ordination... |

| Le gouvernement français s’est engagé à travers différentes conventions et textes institutionnels à stopper d’ici 2010 la perte de la biodiversité. Pour atteindre cet objectif, le Ministère de l’Ecologie, de l’Energie, du Développement Durable et de la Mer (MEEDDM) a mis en place le Système d’Information sur la Nature et les Paysages (SINP), afin de rassembler et structurer l’information sur le patrimoine naturel et la biodiversité. Le volet marin de ce système, le SINP mer, a également pour vocation de valoriser ces informations, soit de présenter des indicateurs permettant de répondre aux enjeux de conservation de la biodiversité marine à partir des données contenues dans le système. Ce document présente la première phase de travail sur les indicateurs... |

| Some species of seagrasses (e.g., Zostera marina and Posidonia oceanica) have declined in the Mediterranean, at least locally. Others are progressing, helped by sea warming, such as Cymodocea nodosa and the non-native Halophila stipulacea. The decline of one seagrass can favor another seagrass. All in all, the decline of seagrasses could be less extensive and less general than claimed by some authors. Natural recolonization (cuttings and seedlings) has been more rapid and more widespread than was thought in the 20th century; however, it is sometimes insufficient, which justifies transplanting operations. Many techniques have been proposed to restore Mediterranean seagrass meadows. However, setting aside the short-term failure or half-success of... |
