"Biodynamic modelling of toxic metal accumulation by the lugworm Arenicola marina, a keynote deposit feeding polychaete in European estuaries: ecotoxicological and regulatory implications" (DYNOLUG)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2010,
"It is proposed to model the bioaccumulation of the toxic trace metals zinc (Zn) (essential), cadmium (Cd) and silver (Ag) (both non-essential) by an infaunal benthic invertebrate, the lugworm Arenicola marina, a keynote species in European estuaries, from solution and diet (sediment) using biodynamic modelling. The predictions of a model constructed from biodynamic accumulation parameters (uptake ...

"COccolithophores Morphology, BIogeography, geNetic and Ecology database" (COMBINE)
Date du début: 18 août 2008, Date de fin: 17 juil. 2010,
"Coccolithophores are unicellular calcifying algae that form a major component of the oceanic phytoplankton. They play a key role in the global carbon cycle as a pump of inorganic carbon to the deep ocean and to the sediment, and are responsible for a considerable part of the ocean/atmosphere exchange of climate relevant gases (CO2, DMS). In the context of global climate change, and especially oc ...

Polypterids – development and evolution of a ’living fossil’ (POLYPTERUS EVO-DEVO)
Date du début: 15 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 14 févr. 2010,
"Polypterids or bichirs are a small group of African freshwater fishes often regarded as 'living fossils' because of their large number of primitive characters. Bichirs form the most basal branch of extant actinopterygians and have played an outstanding role in any study on the evolution of the major vertebrate clades. As a first step towards a modern treatment of these extraordinary ray-finned fi ...

Investigating the fern diversity of the Mascarene Islands using phylogeographic approaches (Mascarenes ferns)
Date du début: 1 juin 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2009,
The South West Indian Ocean islands are an official hotspot of biodiversity and endemism (Myers et al., 2000). Among these islands, the Mascarenes consist of three main islands: La Reunion, Mauritius and Rodrigues. These islands differ in size, elevation profile, age, distance to the next larger land mass (Madagascar) and biodiversity. The Mascarenes are particularly rich in plants species, with a ...
