Phenotypic plasticity, the ability of a single genotype to be expressed as a range of phenotypes in response to environmental variation, is a widespread phenomenon. Documented increasingly among the larval stages of marine organisms, phenotypic plasticity in the veliger larvae of the marine snail Littorina scutulata was investigated in response to predatory, nutritional, and gravitational stimuli. Veligers developed rounder shells, smaller apertures, and reinforced aperture margins in respo...

L’objectif de ce travail est de reconstruire en 3D des objets archéologiques en environnement sousmarin. Une méthode de fusion est proposée afin d’obtenir une carte 3D à partir de données sonar et du système de stéréovision sous marin.Le manuscrit est décomposé en deux parties principales : Dans une première partie, la reconstruction d’objets 3D est réalisée à partir d’un système utilisant une paire de caméras stéréoscopiques. La seconde partie utilise les données 3D de l’environnement sous mari...

Effective conservation requires people to make choices about how they interact with the environment. Social characteristics influence the likelihood of establishing conservation actions with strong compliance (hereafter “feasibility”), but are rarely considered in conservation planning. Our study makes two contributions to understand feasibility. First, we explicitly test the associations between social characteristics and the presence and form of resource management. Second, we compare the abil...

The outcomes of marine conservation and related management interventions depend to a large extent on people's compliance with these rule systems. In the South Pacific, community-based marine resource management (CBMRM) has gained wide recognition as a strategy for the sustainable management of marine resources. In current practice, CBMRM initiatives often build upon customary forms of marine governance, integrating scientific advice and management principles in collaboration with external partne...

Ce travail a pour objectif d'analyser l'utilisation des fibres de lin en substitution aux fibres de verre dans les composites destinés au secteur du nautisme. Cette substitution nécessite une meilleure compréhension du cycle de vie des composites depuis la sélection des matériaux, incluant le procédé de mise en œuvre et jusqu'à leur vieillissement hydrique, principalement sous conditions réelles en service (exposition à l'eau, à la température et aux sollicitations mécaniques). Une étude prélimi...

碩士 / 國立交通大學 / 應用化學系 / 87 / (I) The total synthesis of 2-isocyanoallopupukeanane, a metabolite secreted by nudibranch mollusks, was accomplished in nineteen steps from cyclopentadiene in ca. 5% overall yield. A highly stereoselective synthesis of this unique compound by sigmatropic reaction is the subject of our synthetic strategy. (II) Kainic acid, one of the representative agonists of excitatory amino acid receptors, has attracted considerable interest due to its unique structure and...

The turbulence structure over the sea was studied with the emphasis on humidity. The data sets used came from the island of Östergarnsholm outside Gotland in the Baltic Sea. The study included spectral and quadrant analyses of the wind, temperature and humidity parameters from one measuring level. The wave state of the sea was deduced from data from a wave rider buoy anchored 4 km from the site.Two turbulence instruments for humidity were compared, the MIUU instrument (hot wire) and an open pass...

La prise de conscience récente de la menace qui pèse sur les océans, réceptacle final de la pollution plastique, a donné lieu à une effervescence dans le domaine scientifique. On estime que plus de 5,25 milliards de particules plastiques flottent dans les océans. Ces travaux de thèse s’inscrivent dans le cadre de cette préoccupation environnementale de premier ordre, en apportant de nouvelles connaissances sur le compartiment bactérien qui se développe sur les débris plastiques en mer, appelé « ...

Magister Scientiae - MSc (Biotechnology) / Marine sponges are known to harbour diverse microorganisms which have been proposed to be involved in the synthesis of most of the natural compounds derived from sponges. However, only about 1% of these microorganisms can currently be identified through culturebased approaches, limiting the discovery of novel natural compounds. To overcome this limitation, a metagenomics approach has been introduced for the discovery of natural compounds from symbiotic ...

Une perte des forêts marines de grandes algues brunes a été observée dans les récentes décennies, causant un changement des écosystèmes et une réduction de la biodiversité. Dans le cadre du projet MMMPA, ce travail de thèse vise à répondre à certaines importantes questions liées à la conservation et à la restauration des forêts d'algues, au rôle des Aires Marines Protégées (AMPs) et les poissons herbivores. Les résultats des expériences sur le terrain ont montré que les poissons herbivores indig...

Farkas, Juraj

The aim of this dissertation, based on three papers, is to utilize novel analytical techniques to examine the potential of non-traditional geochemical proxies, such as calcium and boron isotopes, to address questions related to earth system science. The first paper presents analytical protocols for high-precision calcium isotope measurements using thermal (TIMS) and plasma ionization mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS). These are applied to determine calcium isotope abundances of the Late Mesozoic bel...

Although more than 1300 marine reserves have already been established around the world, they still present a relatively new tool for environmental conservation and fisheries management. In accordance with this new approach towards marine protection, conservationists currently call for rapid establishment of a reserve network, which would encompass 10% to 30% of the oceans. Representative habitats from coastal areas as well as high seas would be included. Such a network should serve as a haven fo...

Les dinoflagellés forment un groupe complexe de protistes avec une grande diversité de morphologies, physiologies, et cycles de vies qui leur confèrent une forte capacité d'adaptation à l'ensemble des milieux (marins et dulçaquicoles) et habitats (pélagiques et benthiques) aquatiques rendant difficile l¿étude de leur diversité et de leur écologie. L'objectif de cette thèse a été la recherche de patrons globaux de biodiversité et de structuration des communautés de dinoflagellés pélagiques marins...

Cette thèse a pour thème central l'étude de deux problèmes soulevés dans les pêcheries modernes, la dégradation des habitats et le manque d'informations, qui comptent parmi les causes les importantes de la surexploitation des ressources halieutiques. Les deux premiers chapitres sont consacrés à l'examen du problème de la dégradation des habitats marins liée notamment aux activités de pêche destructrices. Le modèle de Gordon-Schaefer est prolongé afin de tenir compte de l'impact négatif de la pêc...

PETERSEN, CHRISTOPHER WILLIAM.

This study investigates two aspects of tropical reef fish mating systems: the prevalence of paternal care in those species that exhibit some form of parental care, and the evolutionary stability of simultaneous hermaphroditism. Studies of three species of tropical reef fishes from the Gulf of California were used to investigate these two different types of mating systems. Two species of demersal egg guarders with paternal care, Malacoctenus hubbsi and Abudefduf troschelii, were studied to determ...
