California Red Scale (PRC), Aonidiella aurantii (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) is considered as a key pest. In eastern Spain, it has spread over the last decades to cover a wide range of citrus fruits. Chemical control is difficult and often followed by recurrent infestations in a short period of time, th...

This scientific volume of Habilitation in Diriger des Recherche summarises the work carried out in the four research laboratories where I have carried out my research since the end of the thesis: the Frontier Research Center for Global Change (FRCGC, Yokohama, Japan), the Centre d’Etudes Spatiales d...

This essay intends to point out the conjunction between three thematic areas that the research studies and the actors on the ground would both exclude : young people, rural area, hobbies and cultural practices. Our issue is to understand how both cultural practices of rural youth and the recompositi...

In France, the strong storms of recent decades and their impact on coastlines have led to the emphasis being placed on the causal links that may exist between climate change and the current trends in the coastlines subject to erosion and submersion. However, it seems necessary to put into perspectiv...

Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Abstract: Canada’s boreal forest is the breeding ground for some 288 species of resident and migratory birds. Approximately 65% of the species that are currently of highest conservation priority in the boreal region are associated with wetlands and riparian areas. Althou...

Habitat loss and fragmentation are the leading threats to biodiversity worldwide. In fragmented landscapes, movement of organisms among patches of suitable habitat is critical to ecological and evolutionary processes. Movement of organisms allows maintenance of genetic diversity, rescue of declining...

In ‘Taba-Taba’ (2017) and ‘History of grandparents that I have not had’ (2012), Patrick Deville and Ivan Jablonka record the traces of a family past by enduring marelle games between history and history. These stories renew the reflection on France, modulating it (by means of a Kaleidoscope of time...

The Workgroup 3 of the ArchaeDyn programme, gathering 18 researchers, investigates the spatial dynamics of trade and of consumption of products during the different stages of their life cycles. Its main focus is on the spatial analysis of interconnections between quarries, workshops, areas where ite...

International audience Important damages occur in small headwater catchments when they are hit by severe storms with complex spatio-temporal structure, sometimes resulting in flash floods. As these catchments are mostly not covered by sensor networks, it is difficult to forecast these floods. This i...

International audience In Vietnam, the remarkable economic growth that resulted from the doi moi (renovation) reforms was based largely on the rural households that had become the new basic unit of agricultural production in the early 1990s. The technical, economic, and social changes that accompani...

Improved understanding of how our coasts will evolve over a range of time scales (years‐decades) is critical for effective and sustainable management of coastal infrastructure. A robust knowledge of the spatial, directional and temporal variability of the inshore wave climate is required to predict...

A first attempt was made to quantify the impact of the assimilation of Surface Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) swath altimeter data in a global 1/12° high resolution analysis and forecasting system through a series of Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs). The OSSE framework (Nature Run and...

European cities are experiencing a major recomposition of their territories. The local political will resulting from decentralisation, the renewal of accompanying urban practices, and the multifaceted investment of cities by promoters explain that this recomposition is based on a large number of dif...

In the time when Europe needs to strengthen its territorial cohesion and its global competitiveness, this chapter questions the integration and unity of the European urban system inherited from the long-term history as well as from the shortest-term division and reunification occurring during the se...

Species communities vary as a result of many processes: filtering of species by environments, interspecific interactions, dispersal, and stochastic processes. Empiricists often try to evaluate their respective roles based on the traces they leave on the spatial structure of communities. Unfortunatel...

My focus is brackish pond aquaculture in tropical regions and adopts an interdisciplinary approach combining a range of methods used in geography, sociology, environmental science, economic and history. Based on two case studies in the Philippines (Pampanga) and Peru (Tumbes), the goal of this thesi...

the cultural approach replaces the broad abstract categories with the diversity of men, groups and places. It respects the conditions of materiality, history and geographicality that post-modern epistemologies impose on human geography. The study of cultural facts starts from the trajectories that i...

The small locality of Mersin, in Southeastern Anatolia, was transformed from a natural quay into the ‘spatial expression’ of Cilicia’s human and geographical opening to the Eastern Mediterranean. This was first and foremost a story of migration and settlement. From the 1860s to the 1890s, nomads and...

The establishment of genuine production governance is a guarantee to maintain the balance between production and consumption. This requires spatial scales adapted to each management to be taken into account at the same time, bearing in mind the multiple times in which the vineyards operate. This gov...

Eukaryotic cell nuclei contain distinct functionally or structurally defined compartments at multiple scale that present a highly ordered spatial arrangement. Several studies in plants and animals have pointed out to links between nuclear organization and genome functions. A key challenge is to iden...

Following further work, this article argues that the analysis of the deployment of gentrification processes cannot now be dissociated from the study of supporting public policies in their favour. On this basis, it focuses first on building a framework for analysing gentrification policies that can,...

The communication describes a method of simulation of a reservoir system based on a markovien probabilist model of inputs involving both temporal and spatial scales. The scope and limits of simulation methods on fictitious data are set out. A schematic example of the application is given. Bernier J....

Agricultural land use pattern is affected by many factors at different scales and effects that are separated by time and space. This will lead to simulation models that optimize or project the cropping pattern changes and incorporate complexities in terms of details and dynamics. Combining System Dy...

This paper addresses the collaborative development of information infrastructure for supporting data-rich scientific collaboration. Studying infrastructure development empirically not only in terms of spatial issues but also, and equally importantly, temporal ones, we illustrate how the long-term ma...

The technological development of recent years has led to the democratisation of space data. For example, applications such as online mapping and SOLAPs that provide access to these data have emerged. Unfortunately, these applications are very limited from a map point of view as they do not allow for...
