The ABYSS project aims at describing deep-sea benthic biodiversity spanning several branches of the tree of life with eDNA metabarcoding tools. To accommodate both micro- and macro biologists, we designed a bioinformatic pipeline based on Illumina read correction with Dada2 allowing analysing metabarcodes from prokaryotic and eukaryotic life compartments.

Frise chronologique des millésimes de modes d'occupation des sols produits par les régions françaises et par le programme Corine Land Cover.

Présentation des entreprises, cartographie du risque et consignes en cas d'alerte pour les populations des communes de la Presqu'île d'Ambès. Plaquettes 4 ou 8 pages (avec cartographie)

Here, our study aimed to first assess the influence of plastic on the bacterial community belonging to water, plastic and the microbiome of the giant clam and on the organism's physiology of this putative sentinel species. Our second objective was to identify bacteria whose abundance varies significantly with plastic concentration. Overall, this study will fill the gap towards a better understanding of the impact of plastic pollution on bacterial community assemblages in both inert and living environments.

Whole genome pooled sequencing of individuals from 4 populations and 3 different color phenotype in order to uncover the genetic variants linked to color expression in the pearl oyster P. margaritifera.

ddRAD genotyping was used to evaluate population connectivity and putative loci under selection in honeycomb worm from 13 sites spanning its distribution in the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts.

L’objectif général de ce projet de thèse est d’analyser et d’évaluer les données sources (actuelles et potentielles) des matrices de changements d’occupation du sol afin d’améliorer la robustesse de l’inventaire. Il s’agit d’expertiser par une démarche scientifique la pertinence des travaux réalisés annuellement pour l’inventaire UTCATF. En particulier, il s’agit de comprendre les causes des incertitudes des données sources ; compiler les données disponibles et leurs métadonnées ; étudier qualitativement les dynamiques paysagères décrites ; et redéfinir un cadre méthodologique permettant d’estimer des taux de changements plus pertinent.

The eleven collected wild strains of T. lutea were compared phenotypically, in particular with regard to their pigment and lipid profiles. The genome of each T. lutea strain was also sequenced to investigate the genetic structure and genome organisation of this species. Collected data were summarized in a genome browser to provide easy-to-use support for the scientific community (https://genomes-catalog.ifremer.fr). This provides an important resource- to understand, exploit and predict the biodiversity of this species.

Individuals from five populations of Sabellaria alveolata (Scotland, France-Saint Michel Bay, France-Biarritz, Portugal, and Morocco) were maintained under common garden conditions to investigate the gene expression response to temperature stress in the honeycomb worm. Worms were exposed to five sequential temperature treatments, and whole-organism samples were collected for RNA-Seq analysis. Gene expression patterns were analyzed to assess thermal acclimation and adaptation across populations.
