Pełny tekst źródłaAlthough recent genetic findings have contribuited to shed light on some aspects of the interaction between anatomically modern humans and archaic hominin forms, such as Neandertals and Denisovans, very little is known about the interaction between our ancestors and other extinct species - such as the enigmatic Homo floresiensis - with which they co-existed for thousands of years. Here we analyzed 10 new high coverage genomes (~40x) from a pygmy population in the Island of Flores (Eastern Indonesia). This village is near where remains of H. floresiensis were found and its people have been reported to have morphological similarities to Homo florensiensis. We used a newly developed approach to identify DNA inherited from archaic hominin ancestor, which does not rely on ancient genomes. Moreover, our data represent to date the first complete genomes from Indonesia. Our analysis revealed the presence of highly divergent genomic regions in the Flores pygmies, that might result from past admixture with H. floresiensis, and contribuited to provide new insights on the landscape of hominin interactions in this part of the world crucial for our evolutionary history – where ancient DNA work may not be tractable. Finally, we applied the same approach to whole-genome sequences from 1,523 geographically diverse individuals, including 35 new Island Melanesian genomes with the goal of identifying sequences inherited from Neandertals and Denisovans. We showed that Neandertal admixture occurred multiple times in different non-African populations, we characterized genomic regions that are significantly depleted of archaic sequence, and identified signatures of adaptive introgression.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe presence of oceans beneath the surface of some of Jupiter's (e.g. Europa) and Saturn's (e.g. Titan, Enceladus) icy satellites, coupled with the existence of geysers that allow their depths to be sampled, has highlighted the strong exobiological potential of these planetary bodies in the solar system. Such discoveries have motivated the development of future space missions (Dragonfly for Titan and mission concepts for Europa and Enceladus) to understand the surface chemistry of these ocean worlds, and by extension to search for traces of prebiotic chemistry or past or present life. The search for such signatures requires a chemical analyzer on board the probes that will be sent into the outer solar system. Many analytical techniques can be used, but gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) appears to be one of the best techniques for answering these questions, thanks to its heritage in space exploration, its ability to analyze a wide range of organic compounds, and its potential for detecting biosignatures, especially by studying the enantiomery of chiral species.The aim of this thesis is to prepare for future in situ chemical analysis of these icy moons, both by improving our scientific knowledge and by technically optimizing our instruments. The main purpose is to evaluate and optimize the analytical capabilities of GC-MS and associated sample preparation methods, in order to detect organic molecules and biosignatures within the analytical constraints known and/or expected on these planetary bodies (richness in organic matter in samples from Titan, and presence of water and salts in samples from the surface of Europa and Enceladus, etc.). In the case of Europa and Enceladus, the study of hypersaline terrestrial samples has highlighted the ability of GC-MS and associated pretreatment methods to find organic molecules of interest for exobiology, despite the presence of salts. In order to assess the impact of salt on these methods, a desalination protocol was developed and implemented. In addition to the analytical aspect, my work has enabled the selection and characterization of the performance of the chromatographic columns (general and chiral) that will be integrated into the DraMS instrument on board the Dragonfly probe (e.g. Dragonfly Mass Spectrometer, DraMS). For these different aspects, this work was based on the study of synthetic analogous samples (tholins for Titan) as well as natural ones (hypersaline lake for Europa and Enceladus)

Pełny tekst źródłaResults of a highly vectorized and multitasked model of the world ocean circulation were analyzed. This model which uses realistic physics, geometry, and forcing on a high-resolution grid, was run on the NCAR Cray X-MP/48 using a robust-diagnostic strategy. Twenty years of model integration using one-half degree horizontal resolution and 20 levels of vertical resolution were accomplished after 200 wall-clock hours at a maximum FORTRAN performance speed of 450 megaflops. Seven key regions of the world ocean were analyzed using an ocean model processor. A representation of the global ocean circulation emerged that compared well with observations and that included strong advective features, fronts, and subtropical meanders. A diagnostic analysis program was developed to analyze meridional heat and volume transports. The results in all basins appear to be reasonable when compared to the results of other studies. For example, an anomalous northward heat transport of 3.8 x 10 to the 14th power W at 30 deg in the South Atlantic compares favorably with the estimate of 4.2 x 10 to the 14th power W at 32 deg S by Bennett (1978) using hydrographic data. The results of simulations conducted in this study can be compared and contrasted against the results of future eddy-resolving simulations.

Pełny tekst źródłaLos microplasticos se han convertido en un gran problema medioambiental. La sobreproducción y el uso excesivo del plástico ha dificultado mucho su tratamiento y esto provoca que sea el sector con un mayor crecimiento en la generación de residuos. Los desechos plásticos, a través de varios procesos se degradan o rompen en partículas más pequeñas dando lugar a los microplasticos. También se pueden encontrar otro tipo de microplasticos, esos originados y fabricados en ese tamaño de forma intencionada. Aunque ya se han publicado varios artículos científicos demostrando la presencia de microplasticos en zonas localizadas, ninguno de ellos muestra una visión global acerca de este problema medioambiental. En esta tesis presentamos el desarrollo de una nueva metodología de muestreo de microplásticos además de la retención de otros contaminantes orgánicos suspendidos en agua de mar. Para ello, hemos colaborado con la Fundación de Navegación Oceánica de Barcelona (FNOB), entidad organizadora de la Barcelona World Race (BWR) y con el Grupo Sailing Technologies. A través de esta colaboración, hemos desarrollado un nuevo dispositivo de muestreo instalado en uno de los barcos participantes en la BWR 2015 que es capaz de colectar microplasticos y contaminantes orgánicos de agua superficial en varias localizaciones del mundo pasando por cuatro océanos (Mar Mediterráneo y Océanos Atlántico, Pacífico y Índico). Hemos realizado la caracterización de los microplasticos muestreados durante la BWR 2015. El análisis de su morfología, composición y distribución nos ha permitido conocer el nivel de contaminación y el impacto de tener este tipo de micropartículas en los océanos. También hemos demostrado el efecto concentrador que poseen los microplasticos. Hemos desarrollado un método analítico reproducible para la extracción y cuantificación de varias familias de contaminantes orgánicos de distintos tipos de micropartículas poliméricas. Por último, se desarrolla una metodología para la elución de los cartuchos SPE usados en la BWR 2015. Además, se ha realizado un análisis PCA y se han agrupado las muestras en función de varios parámetros como las corrientes, la localización o su posición respecto al ecuador. En conclusión, esta tesis proporciona información sobre el estado global de los océanos en relación con los microplasticos y sus consecuencias. El estudio del efecto de los microplasticos en los océanos de forma global es de ayuda para comprender la situación medioambiental actual.
Microplastics have become a huge environmental concern in recent years. The overproduction and excessive use of plastic have made difficult a proper manage and that is why it has become the fastest growing segment of the waste stream. Plastic debris, through several physical, chemical and biological processes can degrade or breakdown resulting in microplastics. In addition to these it can also find other type of microplastics which are those originally and intentionally manufactured in that size. Although several research studies have been published demonstrating the presence of microplastics in localised coastal regions, any of them show a global scenario about this environmental concern. Here we present the development of a new methodology for microplastics sampling and retention of pollutants present in seawater. In this sense, we have collaborated with the Barcelona World Race (BWR) organization and the “Fundació de Navegació Oceànica de Barcelona” (FNOB). Throughout this collaboration, we have developed a device, named COA device, installed in a racing boat of the BWR 2015 which collects microplastics and pollutants on superficial seawater from the different locations of the world going through four oceans (Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans). Furthermore, we performed the characterization of the microparticles collected during the BWR 2015. The analysis, based on microscopic techniques, of their morphology, composition and distribution has allowed us to know better the level of pollution of the marine environment and which is the global impact of having that particles in the oceans. In addition to that, we demonstrate the microplastics concentration effect of persistent organic pollutants. We also developed a reproducible analytical methodology based on a new approach for the release and quantification of different families of pollutants from polymeric microparticles. Finally, different analytical methods have been optimized for the analysis of several pollutants solved in seawater. The elution of pollutants retained in the SPE cartridges used in the BWR 2015 has been performed. In conclusion, this thesis provides information about the overall status of the oceans in terms of microplastics and their consequences at present. The study of the role of microplastics in seawater in a global way have been helpful to understand the actual environmental situation.

This work analyzed Atlantic Meridional Mode (AMM) influence on ocean circulation of Tropical Atlantic (TA) during extreme precipitation years. Were used temperature and current velocity data of SODA reanalysis, the dipole index and standardized precipitation anomalies in Fortaleza between 1980 and 2008. Positive and negative composites were chosen using years presenting, positive index and standardized precipitation anomalies below -0.5 (four drier years), and negative index and standardized precipitation anomalies above 0.5 (eight rainiest years), respectively. Surface and subsurface means and two meridional sections were performed on TA to make composites of each variable. In drier years, positive temperature anomalies prevail on east and northeast Brazilian coast and NEA region presents highest intensification of positive anomalies, which can cause droughts in Fortaleza. The opposite occurs in rainiest years. Small transport values were found for Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) because the chosen section is close to its forming region. Higher EUC transport was find during AMM negative phase (rainiest years), the opposite of what was expected, being higher in March and April in both events. The North Brazilian Undercurrent/North Brazilian Current (NBUC/NBC) presents weakening during rainiest years and presents the biggest differences when the extreme precipitation years are compared, being always stronger in drier years. In drier years, with the NBUC/NBC intensification and positive temperature anomalies on east and northeast Brazilian coast, more heat is transported from the South hemisphere to the North hemisphere, which can increase the northern region temperatures. This temperature rise displaces the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) northward, causing droughts in Fortaleza. The opposite occurs in rainiest years. Since the transports was similar in extreme precipitation years, it was not possible to find relationship between North Equatorial Countercurrent (NECC) and EUC with the occurrence of extreme precipitation years. Equatorial upwelling strengthens over the months in drier years due to east-west temperature gradient intensification. In drier years, downwelling in northeast Brazilian coast is enhanced by northeast trade winds intensification.
Neste trabalho foi analisada a influência do Modo Meridional do Atlântico (MMA) na circulação oceânica do Atlântico Tropical (AT) para os anos extremos de seca e de chuva em Fortaleza. Para isso, foram utilizados dados de temperatura e de velocidade de correntes da reanálise do SODA, os índices de dipolo e as anomalias normalizadas de precipitação em Fortaleza entre 1980 e 2008. Por composição, foram construídos anos positivos (4 anos) e negativos (8 anos) e foram escolhidos os que apresentaram, respectivamente, índices positivos e anomalias normalizadas de precipitação abaixo de -0.5, e índices negativos com anomalias de precipita-ção normalizadas acima de 0.5. Foram realizadas médias dos 200 primeiros metros no AT e duas seções meridionais no AT oeste para os compostos de cada variável estudada. Nos anos extremos de seca, as anomalias positivas de temperatura prevalecem na costa leste e nordeste do Brasil e a região Noroeste do Atlântico Equatorial (NAE) apresenta maior intensificação dessas anomalias positivas, o que diminui as chuvas em Fortaleza. O contrário ocorre nos anos extremos de chuva. Os baixos valores de transporte encontrados para a Subcorrente Equatorial (SCE) ocorrem porque a seção escolhida está próxima à sua região de formação. No geral, os maiores transportes da SCE foram encontrados durante os anos negativos do MMA (extremos de chuva), o contrário do esperado, sendo maiores nos meses de março e abril em todos os eventos estudados. Já o sistema Subcorrente Norte do Brasil/Corrente Norte do Brasil (SCNB/CNB) foi o que apresentou maior diferença quando a comparação é realizada entre os anos extremos de precipitação, estando sempre mais intenso nos anos extremos de seca devido à intensifica-ção dos alísios de sudeste. Com a intensificação do SCNB/CNB nos anos de MMA positivo e com as anomalias positivas de temperatura na costa leste e nordeste do Brasil encontradas nessa fase, ocorre maior transporte de calor do Hemisfério Sul para o Hemisfério Norte por essas correntes, o que pode levar a um aumento das temperaturas na região norte do oceano AT. Esse aumento de temperatura pode atrair a Zona de Convergência Intertropical (ZCIT) para si, causando chuvas acima da média na região e abaixo da média em Fortaleza. O contrário acontece nos anos de MMA negativo. Como os transportes de volume da Contra Corrente Norte Equatorial (CCNE) e da SCE são similares quando se comparam as fases extremas do MMA, não foi possível determinar com segurança a relação dessas correntes com a ocorrência de anos extremos de precipitação. A ressurgência equatorial é intensificada no decorrer dos meses durante os anos extremos de seca devido ao aumento do gradiente de temperatura leste-oeste e consequente fortalecimento dos ventos de leste equatoriais nessa fase. O contrário ocorre nos anos extremos de chuva. Na costa nordeste do Brasil, os processos de subsidência são mais intensos nos anos extremos de seca devido à intensificação do transporte de Ekman em direção à costa na região.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis dissertation examines the art and material culture of the Anglo-American cotton trade in the nineteenth century to consider how these transnational processes influenced different modes of production: artistic, industrial and textile. The Anglo-American cotton trade's importance in the nineteenth century rested on the Atlantic slave trade and its aftereffects. Therefore this study foregrounds the centrality of African American history and culture to the trade's structures of exchange, encounter and transmission as they inflected nineteenth-century British and American artistic production and industrial expansion. In four chapters beginning in 1840 and ending at the beginning of the twentieth century, I juxtapose the work of contemporary artists with historical case studies. I argue that these contemporary artists – Leonardo Drew, Lubaina Himid and Yinka Shonibare – offer new interpretive frameworks for approaching the transactional and transnational contexts of nineteenth-century British, American and African American art and material culture.
Chapter one focuses on the relationship between plantations in the American South and New England, using prints, paintings and textiles that reveal the plantation and factory to be connected landscape. I trace how cotton's movement shaped constructions around place, and materialized connections between communities of labor in antebellum America. Chapter two opens with Lubaina Himid's Cotton.com (2002) and expands the historical relationship of plantation and factory out across the Atlantic. Centralizing Eyre Crowe's Slaves Waiting for Sale, Richmond, Virginia (1861) and the export of printed cotton from Manchester, it examines the convergence of the trade in cotton with the trade in slaves. It considers how these market relations shaped the commodification of the enslaved body, British experiences of factory labor, and Manchester production of printed cloth for consumers across the globe. Chapter three begins with Leonardo Drew's Number 25 to consider the tensions between materiality and abstraction in the production and commodification of cotton and art objects. I then examine paintings by Edgar Degas, A Cotton Office in New Orleans (1873), and Winslow Homer, The Cotton Pickers, (1876) to explore how these artists negotiated the status of cotton as a global commodity and grappled with the changing networks, of labor, production and commerce in postbellum America. Eyre Crowe's painting of factory workers in Lancashire, The Dinner Hour, Wigan (1874) concludes this section, which examines how the international market for cotton was influencing the representation and experience of industry in north west England. My final chapter, commencing with an installation by Yinka Shonibare MBE Scramble for Africa (2003), focuses on the commercial logic and visual rhetoric of three Southern international exhibitions. I examine how these exhibitions constructed the South – through visions of cotton plantations and black cotton pickers – as a space for domestic colonial expansion. Alongside this I look at the ways Africa was being constructed as a new cotton market – both as a site of cultivation and a site of consumption. In both sections I underscore how the language of commerce, colonialism and cotton shaped particular constructions of space and meanings around the African, and African American body. I conclude with the work of Meta Warrick Fuller to briefly examine how black Americans dismantled these tropes of exclusion, signified by cotton, to project claims for equality.
The project argues that the art works under examination here draw on an economic language to visualize particular ideas and constructions around labor, production and race in three ways. It traces the contours of a market-driven aesthetic in the ways cotton was used to illustrate or materialize connections to a circulating economy of goods. It describes how cotton's movement shaped the construction of imagined geographies around sites of labor and spaces of consumption. And it sketches out the speculative vision that emerged throughout the nineteenth century in the material and metaphorical associations of cotton, commerce and African American identity. In revealing the representational possibilities of cotton in this way, this dissertation looks at understudied objects to consider the nuanced ways that local cultural forms have, historically, intersected with global processes in the Atlantic world. It centralizes the experience of African Americans, within an Anglo-American culture of exchange and its relationship to a global network of trade and transmission. In doing so it seeks to reframe the ways we might approach historical processes of visuality and perception in the long nineteenth century in order to create a more global, or at least transnational, perspective on the art of this period.

Participants were 15 professional sailors, ranging in age from 23-49 years (M age = 35.9 years; SD = 7.4), who competed in the 2005/06 VOR. After receiving approval from the Temple University Institutional Review Board, the researcher recruited participants who were subsequently required to provide informed consent to participate in the study. Using a semi-structured interview format, face-to-face interviews were completed with three sailors in Miami, FL, and with nine sailors in Valencia, Spain (three interviews with individual participants, one interview with two participants, and a focus group with four participants). Three interviews were completed via telephone. All interviews were transcribed verbatim. Each transcript was then analysed through an inductive open coding process. Data analysis revealed nine major themes (Background, Skiffs on Steroids, Boat Breakdowns, Managing Self, Pressure, Tragedy, Extreme, Team, and Reflecting) with associated subthemes, and three dimensions (Resonance, Edgework, and Performance Capacities) with associated subdimensions. A framework for understanding the experiences of the sailors was conceived in the form of a model depicting the dimensions of resonance (a passion for adventure and the VOR in particular), edgework (a desire and ability to perform in high-risk, life threatening situations), and performance capacities (team, individual, and boat). The model suggests an interplay between the dimensions of edgework and resonance, against which is set the performance dimension. This study is the first to take a glimpse inside the experiences of professional ocean racing sailors who compete in fully crewed around-the-world races. Findings confirm the widely held belief that the VOR is an extreme and unique event in the world of sport.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis study focuses on the Chinese community of Manila from 1570 to 1770, revealing that the community was not an insular, ethnic enclave unified in its efforts and aspirations but one made up of different groups with varying goals. Not all Chinese saw the Spanish presence as conducive to their livelihoods but certain sectors of the community did. I argue the collaboration of these elements within the Chinese community was essential in maintaining the Spanish presence in Manila. Those whose interests most closely aligned with Spanish aims included a small group of wealthy Chinese merchants involved in supplying the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade with merchandise (mainly silk), merchants and artisans in the Chinese quarter called the Parián and Chinese leaders who acted as middlemen linking the needs of the regime with Southern Fujianese workers to supply the city with services, food, and labor. In return, Spaniards provided New Spanish silver, government monopolies and recognition of the authority of Chinese elites over laborers. In that way, the Spanish empire in the Asia-Pacific region was a collaborative enterprise, constructed in the cooperation of various interest groups.
When the abuses of Spanish authorities threatened the lives of those they ruled, Chinese intermediaries could not maintain their claims of mitigating the demands of the regime on behalf of Chinese workers and lost control of those under their supervision. In 1603, 1639, and 1662, Chinese laborers raised the banner of revolt. These moments of violent rupture with the colonial order indicate that mediation was crucial to preserving the Spanish presence in Manila. Coercion could put down threats to control but on its own could not hold colonial society together.
The Chinese, with others, created the ties that bound colonial society together through kinship and credit networks for mutual aid. Compadrazgo (coparenthood), padrinazgo (godparenthood), and marriage connected Chinese to colonial society and provided a means of profit, protection and recruiting labor. These links persisted into the nineteenth century and helped the Chinese shape the ecology of Manila to their purposes, albeit within the confines of Spanish sovereignty.

Pełny tekst źródłaDecisions have both short and long-term consequences. Sometimes we cannot see the consequences and do not know the outcomes, but we take a step and make a choice. Some after-effects are irrevocable, and some are fixable. Some decisions affect us immediately and exclusively while others have consequences that are global. When we make decisions, we sometimes doubt our decisions and ask ourselves what might have happened if another choice was made. We make choices daily, small or great, for good or bad. After World War II, South Korean president Rhee Syngman put many alleged Communists in a rehabilitation program known as the National Guidance League. Many of them were executed between 1945 and 1953 to prevent them from joining the Communist north. Rhee's decision affected many families including my own. What we choose to do has intentional and unintentional consequences. Extreme choices produce dire consequences that can subsequently influence future generations and, on a larger scale, an entire nation for decades.

Pełny tekst źródłaResponses of marine organisms to environmental hypercapnia, i.e. to an excess of CO2 in the aquatic environment, can be extremely variable and the degree of sensitivity varies between species and life stages. Sea urchins are key stone species in many marine ecosystems. They are considered to be particularly vulnerable to ocean acidification effects not only due to the nature of their skeleton (magnesium calcite) whose solubility is similar or higher than that of aragonite, but also because they lack an efficient ion regulatory machinery, being therefore considered poor acid-base regulators. Populations from polar regions are expected to be at an even higher risk since the carbonate chemical changes in surface ocean waters are happening there at a faster rate.
The goal of this work was to study the effects of low seawater pH exposure of different life stages of sea urchins, in order to better understand how species from different environments and/or geographic origins would respond and if there would be scope for possible adaptation and/or acclimatization.
In a first stage we investigated the effects of ocean acidification on the early stages of an intertidal species from temperate regions, the Atlantic Paracentrotus lividus sea urchin, and of a sub-Antarctic species, Arbacia dufresnei. The fertilization, larval development and larval growth were studied on specimens submitted through different pH experimental treatments. The fertilization rate of P. lividus gametes whose progenitors came from a tide pool with high pH decrease was significantly higher, indicating a possible acclimatization or adaptation of gametes to pH stress. Larval size in both species decreased significantly in low pH treatments. However, smaller A. dufresnei echinoplutei were isometric to those of control treatments, showing that size reduction was most likely due to a slower growth rate. In the pH 7.4 (predicted for 2300) treatment, P. lividus presented significantly more abnormal forms than control ones, but A. dufresnei did not. The latter does not seem to be more vulnerable than temperate species, most likely due to acclimatization/adaptation to lower pH seasonal fluctuations experienced by individuals of this population during spring time.
In a second stage, adult physiological responses of P. lividus and A. dufresnei to low pH seawaters were studied. Intertidal field P. lividus specimens can experience pH fluctuations of 0.4 units during low tidal cycles, but their coelomic fluid pH will not change. During experimental exposure to low pH, the coelomic fluid (extracellular) pH of both species decreased after weeks of exposure to low seawater pH. However, it owned a certain buffer capacity (higher than that of seawater) which did not seem to be related to passive skeleton dissolution. In laboratory studies, the feeding rate of P. lividus, the RNA/DNA ratio (proxy for protein synthesis and thus metabolism) of both the gonads and the body wall of the studied species and the carbonic anhydrase activity in the body wall (an enzyme involved in calcification and respiratory processes) of A. dufresnei did not differ according to seawater pH. The same was true for spine regeneration (a proxy for calcification) of both species. This shows that both P. lividus and A. dufresnei are able to cope when exposed to mild hypercapnia (lowest investigated pH 7.4) for a mid-term period of time (weeks). In a different set of experiments, pH effects were tested on P. lividus individuals together with two temperatures (10ºC and 16ºC). The pH decrease of the coelomic fluid did not vary between temperatures, neither did its buffer response. The oxygen uptake rates of P. lividus (as a proxy for global metabolic state of the whole organism) increased in lower pH treatments (7.7 and 7.4) in organisms exposed to lower temperatures (10ºC), showing that this was upregulated and that organisms experienced a higher energetic demand to maintain normal physiological functions. For instance, gonad production (given by the RNA/DNA ratio) was not affected neither by temperature, nor pH.
Finally, possible morphological and chemical adaptations of cidaroid (“naked”) spines, which are not covered by epidermis, to low magnesium calcite saturation states were investigated. Deep sea field specimens from the Weddell Sea (Antarctica), Ctenocidaris speciosa were studied. Cidaroid spines have an exterior skeleton layer with a polycrystalline constitution that apparently protects the interior part of the monocrystaline skeleton, the stereom (tridimensional magnesium calcite lattice). The cortex of C. speciosa was by its turn divided into two layers. From these, it presented a thicker inner cortex layer and a lower Mg content in specimens collected below the aragonite saturation horizon. The naked cortex seems able to resist to low calcium carbonate saturation state. We suggest that this could be linked to the important organic matrix that surrounds the crystallites of the cortex.
Some echinoid species present adaptive features that enable them to deal with low pH stresses. This seems to be related to the environmental conditions to which populations are submitted to. Therefore, organisms already submitted to pH daily or seasonal fluctuations or living in environments undersaturated in calcium carbonate seem to be able to cope with environmental conditions expected in an acidified ocean. Under the realistic scenario of a decrease of ca. 0.4 units of pH by 2100, sea urchins, and echinoderms in general, appear to be robust for most studied processes. Even thought, this general response can depend on different parameters such as exposure time, pH level tested, the process and the life stage considered, our results show that there is scope for echinoids to cope with ocean acidification.

Ecological processes at deep-sea hydrothermal vents on fast-spreading mid-ocean ridges are punctuated by frequent physical disturbance. Larval dispersal among disjunct vent sites facilitates the persistence of sessile invertebrate species in these geologically and chemically dynamic habitats despite local extinction events. Regional population extension and rapid recolonization by the siboglinid tubeworm Riftia pachyptila have been well documented along the East Pacific Rise and the Galápagos Rift. To analyze spatial and temporal population genetic patterns and the processes governing them at ephemeral and disjunct habitats, a suite of 12 highly variable microsatellite DNA markers were developed for this species. Eight of these loci were used to assess the regional and within-ridge genetic structure of recent colonists and resident adults collected from nine sites in the eastern Pacific Ocean over period of three to seven years. A significant seafloor eruption during the seven-year sampling period allowed investigation into the role of local extinction in population genetic diversity at the Tica vent site at 9°N EPR, while collections within two and five years of an eruption that created the Rosebud vent field at 86°W GAR provided insights into genetic diversity input over population establishment. For the first time, this thesis demonstrated significant genetic differences between Riftia populations on the East Pacific Rise and Galápagos Rift. Moreover, the separate treatment of colonist and resident subpopulations revealed a high potential for local larval retention at vent sites. This mechanism for recruitment likely sustains disjunct populations and supports the recolonization of locally extinct areas after disturbance events, while episodic long-distance dispersal maintains genetic coherence of the species.
(cont.) Temporal population genetic consideration at the Tica site on the East Pacific Rise suggests that the 2005-2006 seafloor eruption had little to no discernable effect on local population genetic composition. Yet local populations appear to exhibit a small degree of genetic patchiness, with a high degree of relatedness (half-sibs) among subsets of individuals within both colonist and resident cohorts. This thesis broadens the application of recently developed molecular techniques to study the effect of ridge-crest processes and offers new perspectives into marine dispersal, gene flow, and population differentiation.

Pełny tekst źródłaTropical cyclone track forecast has improved over the past two decades but little improvement have been done in intensity changes forecast. This thesis focuses on the intensity changes of tropical cyclones in the southwest Indian ocean through the original aspect of lightning activity. A climatology of lightning activity in the southwest Indian ocean using data from the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) is first proposed. Results showed that the WWLLN was able to locate and capture the lightning activity in the basin and that tropical cyclones can be considered as a major source of lightning flashes in some oceanic parts of this region. From this result, study of lightning activity in tropical cyclones of the southwest Indian ocean has been done considering the basin configuration. Thus, three regions were defined: open ocean, region near the eastern coast of Madagascar and the Mozambique Channel. The location and intensity of lightning activity depend on the region and the intensity stage. Lightning flashes seem to be a proxy of intensification or weakening under some conditions. The third step of this thesis was to simulate in an idealized framework a mature tropical cyclone. The model was first able to reproduce the sporadic behavior of lightning activity as observed. Budgets have shown that the presence of three distinctive phases characterized by different dynamical, microphysical and electrical behaviors. Finally, another purely numerical work tried to identify some proxies of lightning activity according two approaches : a global analysis anda per-cell analysis. In both cases, the best proxies are the total graupel mass, the updraft volume and the product of precipitating and non-precipitating ice mass fluxes

Pełny tekst źródłaOur research deals with the Italian cartography of Oceania, between 1790 and 1850. Its development is followed through dialogues and conflicts with the other European countries, mainly with France, intimately binding them with discussions over first place names on maps (the invention of Oceania, Micronesia, Melanesia, Mondo Marittimo), including the very first classifications of peoples stated by the same geographers who wanted to add classifications to geographical names, thus allowing to distinguish between peoples, human diversities, races: Pinkerton, Malte-Brun, Dumont d’Urville, Galanti, Balbi, Borghi, de Luca and Marmocchi. There’s a succession of three sections. In the first section, we are studying the works of the cabinet geographers in England and France before examining in detail the Italian schools. Conversely, we are watching these geographers who were navigator-explorers, starting first with sixteenth-century Italy then having a short overview of the attempts made to name the whole of Oceania (“The fifth part of the globe”, etc.) and its regions. The study of the Italian schools is taking us into the cities of Milan, Venice, Rome, Florence and Naples, as well as into these navigator-explorers’ places of exchange (academies, literary societies), taking into account who the major publishers or geographer publishers were. The second section is dedicated to the links between the geographers on a European level: the relationship between the Italians and their neighbors, mostly French and English, sometimes German. We are also looking at the way knowledge spreads and is debated upon with Adriano Balbi shaping a sort of breadcrumbs trail: first, chronology of publications and new names, with the special cases of the inventions of Ulimaroa, Ocean Lands, Notasia, and the withdrawal of Magellania, next the discussions on the names Oceanica-Oceania, Maritime World-Mondo Marittimo then, Balbi’s choices, the Italian inventions of « Meganesia, Micronesia », the discussions on the classification of the peoples, from Balbi to Dumont d’Urville and the way most of the Italian schools kept away from Dumont d’Urville’s pattern for a good 20 years. The third section documents and details the Italian geographers’ appropriations: Meganesia, Micronesia, Mondo Marittimo. This study shows the extreme interlocking of dialogues and conflicts among the Italian geographers themselves but also with their French and English counterparts. Regarding the appropriation of the word « Micronesia », it also leads us to observe closely the part played by Dumont d’Urville at the time, his very specific way to impose his views, excluding the other geographers’ opinions. We shall see that there is no doubt whatsoever about the motives leading to his famous 1832 map of Oceania so often considered as a map-based suggestion while we can doubtlessly show that it was the product of a theory on races. This clarification will be notably enhanced by the added study of a long text written by Dumont d’Urville, a manuscript drafted in 1825-1826, which remained incomplete and unpublished but reviewed and transcribed in this research. Our conclusion allows us to stay in the Italian cartographic world, to grasp the way a map may well impose a point of view, leading us from Oceania to Italy. Indeed, three of the four main Italian geographers we followed were also prominent protagonists in a cartography serving the political building up of a united Italy (Risorgimento) and we shall comment upon the power that a map may occasionally play
La nostra ricerca si concentra sulla cartografia italiana dell'Oceania tra il 1790 e il 1850, ma segue il suo sviluppo attraverso dialoghi (e conflitti) con altri paesi europei, e in particolare con la Francia, e collegando intimamente le discussioni sui primi toponimi collocati sulle carte geografiche (le invenzioni di Oceania, Micronesia, Meganesia, Mondo Marittimo, ecc.) con le prime classificazioni dei popoli formulate dai questi stessi geografi che volevano aggiungere ai nomi geografici delle classificazioni che consentissero di distinguere i popoli, le varietà umane, le “razze”: Pinkerton, Malte-Brun, Dumont d’Urville, Galanti, Balbi, Borghi, de Luca and Marmocchi. Tra parti si succedono. Nella prima, osserviamo il lavoro dei geografi di gabinetto in Inghilterra e in Francia prima di osservare nei minimi particolari le scuole italiane. In contrappunto, osserviamo i geografi che furono navigatore-esploratori, a partire dall'Italia del XVI secolo, poi una rapida rassegna dei tentativi di dare un nome all'intera Oceania (la "quinta parte del mondo" ecc.) e le sue regioni. Il studio delle scuole italiane ci porta elle città: Milano, Venezia, Roma, Roma, Firenze e Napoli, nonché ai loro luoghi di scambio (accademia, gabinetto letterario), guardando pure chi furono i grandi editori o geografi-editori. Finiremo questa prima parte con in confronto alle teorie proposte in Francia, Inghilterra e Italia per la classificazione dei popoli, in generale e in Oceania in particolare, a seconda che il tipo di discriminazione scelto fosse la lingua, le "nazioni" od ancora le "razze". La seconda parte è dedicata ai rapporti tra geografi a livello europeo: i rapporti che gli italiani intrattengono con i loro vicini, soprattutto francesi e inglesi, e talvolta tedeschi, ed si osserviamo la maniera in cui la conoscenza è diffusa e discussa, con Adriano Balbi come filo conduttore: cronologia delle pubblicazioni, delle denominazione, i casi particolari delle invenzioni di Ulimaroa, Terres Océaniques, Notasie, e l'abbandono di Magellania, poi gli scambi sui termini Oceanic-Oceania, il Mondo Marittimo e le scelte di Balbi, la creazione italiana di Meganesia e Micronesia, le discussioni sulla classificazione dei popoli da Balbi a Dumont d'Urville, e su come la maggior parte delle scuole italiane rimane al di fuori del modello di Dumont d'Urville per venti anni. La terza parte ritorna minutamente sulle invenzioni e l’accaparamento dei geografi italiani: Meganesia, Micronesia, Mondo Marittimo. Questa osservazione mostra l'estremo intreccio di dialoghi, o di conflitti, tra i nostri geografi italiani, tra loro e con i loro vicini francesi e inglesi. Essa ci conduce anche, per quanto riguarda l'appropriazione del termine "Micronesia", a guardare da più vicino il ruolo di Dumont d'Urville a questa epoca, il suo modo bene particolare di imporre i suoi punti di vista e di allontanare quelli degli altri geografi, e vedremo che ormai non c'è nessun dubbio per quanto riguarda alle motivazioni che l’hanno condotto alla sua famosa mappa dell'Oceania del 1832, così considerata spesso come una semplice proposta cartografica, mentre ora possiamo misurare fino a che punto fosse interamente il prodotto di una teoria sulle "razze". Questa chiarificazione sarà soprattutto rinforzata par lo studio che aggiungiano a un lungo testo di Dumont d'Urville, un manoscritto che aveva redatto nel 1825-1826, rimasto incompiuto e inedito, che abbiamo analizzato e trascritto.La nostra conclusione ci fa rimanere nell'universo cartografico italiano, e nella maniera in cui una mappa può imporre un punto di vista, ma passando dall'Oceania all'Italia. Infatti, tre dei principali geografi italiani che ci avranno accompagnati durante l'esame delle mappe dell'Oceania furono anche degli attori di primissimo piano nel una cartografia al servizio della costruzione politica di un'Italia unitaria (il Risorgimento) e ci commenteremo questa autorità che la carta può imporre a volte
