Diet of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from the Gulf of Cadiz: Insights from stomach content and stable isotope analyses [Dataset]
No full textThe ecological role of species can vary among populations depending on local and regional differences in diet. This is particularly true for top predators such as the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), which exhibits a highly varied diet throughout its distribution range. Local dietary assessments are therefore critical to fully understand the role of this species within marine ecosystems, as well as its interaction with important ecosystem services such as fisheries. Here, we combined stomach content analyses (SCA) and stable isotope analyses (SIA) to describe bottlenose dolphins diet in the Gulf of Cadiz (North Atlantic Ocean). Prey items identified using SCA included European conger (Conger conger) and European hake (Merluccius merluccius) as the most important ingested prey. However, mass-balance isotopic mixing model (MixSIAR), using δ13C and δ15N, indicated that the assimilated diet consisted mainly on Sparidae species (e.g. seabream, Diplodus annularis and D. bellottii, rubberlip grunt, Plectorhinchus mediterraneus, and common pandora, Pagellus erythrinus) and a mixture of other species including European hake, mackerels (Scomber colias, S. japonicus and S. scombrus), European conger, red bandfish (Cepola macrophthalma) and European pilchard (Sardina pilchardus). These contrasting results highlight differences in the temporal and taxonomic resolution of each approach, but also point to potential differences between ingested (SCA) and assimilated (SIA) diets. Both approaches provide different insights, e.g. determination of consumed fish biomass for the management of fish stocks (SCA) or identification of important assimilated prey species to the consumer (SIA).The study was funded by Fundación Loro Parque, CEPSA (Compañía Española de Petroleos S.A.), EcoCet Project [CGL2011-25543] J.G. and R.dS. were funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness through the Severo Ochoa Programme for Centres of Excellence in R+D+I [SEV-2012-0262].

Téléphone mobile et écriture : figures de la ré-novation
No full textInternational audienceRelationships between mobile phone and writing are interrogated in this article. Based on a diachronic study of the narrative about the device, the advertisements and the visual layouts of screen writing. Line Renaud studies the surge of writing and reading activities on this technical system. Mobile phone is increasingly presented, conceived and recognised as a tool and medium of visual inscriptions. The author shows that the bias on the relationship between speech and writing is creeping into these series of transformation and that the development of mobile writing is resting on a figuration based on re-novation.Este artículo pretende interrogar las relaciones entre el móvil y la escritura. Desde un estudio diacrónico del discurso del soporte, de las publicidades y de las composiciones visuales de los escritos de la pantalla, Lise Renaud interroga el auge de las actividades de escritura y de lectura vía este dispositivo técnico. El teléfono móvil se vuelve cada vez más presentado, concebido y reconocido como una herramienta y soporte de inscripciones visuales. El autor muestra que los prejuicios de la relación palabra-escritura se insinúan en estas series de transformaciones y que el desarrollo de las escrituras en el móvil se arraiga en una figuración basada en la “re-novación”.Cet article se pose comme une interrogation des relations entre le téléphone mobile et l’écriture. À partir d’une étude diachronique des discours du support, des publicités et des compositions visuelles des écrits d’écran, Lise Renaud étudie la montée en puissance des activités d’écriture et de lecture sur ce dispositif technique. Le téléphone mobile devient de plus en plus présenté, conçu et reconnu comme un outil et support d’inscriptions visuelles. L’auteur montre que les préjugés du rapport parole-écriture s’insinuent dans ces séries de transformations et que le développement des écrits sur mobile s’appuie sur une figuration basée sur la ré-novation
Sur les frontières de la République d’Arménie
No full textAlthough the " iron curtain" has disappeared, and diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey are strengthening since the agreement of the 10th October 2009 was signed, Armenia remains a completely landlocked country. More than 80% of its borders are closed by its Turkish-speaking neighbours, Azerbaijan, Nakhchivan and Turkey. And for good reason, as their lines were changed considerably by the war from 1988 to 1994 between the Armenians and the Azeris, whilst Europe had its eyes fixed on the chaos in Yugoslavia. In order to describe its territory accurately, and explain the complexity of its geopolitical situation, the author chose to travel by train from La Rochelle to Erevan, and continue around the borders by bicycle.Bien que le " Rideau de fer" soit tombé et que les relations diplomatiques arméno-turques tendent à se normaliser depuis l’accord signé le 10 octobre 2009, l’Arménie reste un pays très enclavé. Plus de 80% de ses frontières sont fermées par ses voisins turcophones d’Azerbaïdjan, du Nakhitchevan et de Turquie. Et pour cause, leur tracé a été bouleversé par la guerre que se sont livrée Arméniens et Azéris entre 1988 et 1994, alors que l’Europe avait les yeux braqués sur le chaos yougoslave. Pour appréhender au plus près son territoire et rendre compte de la complexité de sa situation géopolitique, l’auteur a préféré le train pour rejoindre Erevan depuis La Rochelle, et le vélo pour longer ses frontières.De Sinety Renaud.

L’Histoire de Saint sacrement de Miracle d’Étienne Ydens (1605), œuvre de dévotion ou œuvre polémique ?
No full textpeer reviewedDuring his research on the printed tradition of the history of the Miracle of Blessed Sacrament written in the seventeenth century by canon Étienne Ydens († 1615), Renaud Adam not only studied the personality of the author, but also the way the story of the Eucharistic miracle in Brussels had been adopted for politico-religious purposes. The canon of Saint Gudule used the text on the profanation of the hosts dating from the last third of the fourteenth century, to attack Protestantism and the - according to him equally dangerous - witchcraft. The study of the seventeenth century editions showed that the tone of the work gradually became less controversial, proving that Protestantism and witchcraft were considered a less significant threat than at the time of the redaction of the story by Ydens.L’étude de la tradition imprimée de l'histoire du Saint sacrement de Miracle du chanoine Étienne Ydens († 1615) au XVIIe siècle est l’occasion, pour Renaud Adam, de revenir non seulement sur la personnalité de son auteur, mais également sur l’instrumentalisation du récit du miracle eucharistique bruxellois à des fins politico-religieuses. Le chanoine de Sainte-Gudule a ainsi profité du récit de la profanation des hosties dans le dernier tiers du XIVe siècle pour s’attaquer de front à la religion protestante et à la sorcellerie, tout aussi dangereuse à ses yeux que le protestantisme. L’examen des éditions parues au cours du XVIIe siècle a montré que le caractère polémique de l’œuvre s’est progressivement atténué au fil du temps, preuve que le protestantisme et la sorcellerie n’ont plus constitué une menace aussi importante qu’à l’époque de la rédaction d’Ydens
Les hommes, les oeuvres, les lieux. Passages de l'art dans le “Journal” de Renaud Camus
No full textEl propósito de este artículo es analizar la relación entre las estructuras de la escritura cotidiana de Renaud Camus, por un lado, y su tratamiento de los motivos artísticos, por otra. En el “Diario de Camus”, que el autor ha publicado casi ininterrumpidamente desde principios de los años ochenta, la evocación o descripción de obras de arte ocupan un lugar central en la medida en que cada obra es tratada siempre como una red. Esta "expansión" del objeto no sólo permite convertirlo en elemento estructurador del texto, sino también vincularlo a otras sensaciones, a otros tiempos, en definitiva, a otras capas de la experiencia. El artículo esboza una poética del objeto artístico como red a través de una serie de microlecturas.
Por último, se centra en el papel clave que desempeña el efecto marco. El efecto marco, es decir, la restricción del campo que al mismo tiempo suscita, aumenta y preserva la obra de arte y su apreciación subjetiva.This article deals with the relationships between, on the one hand, the techniques of Renaud Camus's diary writing, and bis specific treatment of artworks, on the other hand. ln "Camus's Diary", which the author has been publishing with almost no interruption since the early 1980s, the direct or indirect representation of a large number of works of art plays a key role given the fact that each work takes actually the form of a small network. Such an "expansion" of the object enables it to become a structuring device of the whole text, white it offers also many opportunities to link it with other sensations, other periods, in short with other layers of the author's experience. The article tries to elaborate a poetics of the work of art as network through a series of close readings. In this regard, it tends to foreground dramatically the function of the "frame", i.e. any device that restricts the field surrounding the work of art and whose function is to create, to intensify, and to maintain the aesthetic object as well as its subjective impact on the beholder.Le propos de cet article est d'analyser les relations entre les structures de l'écriture journalière de Renaud Camus d'une part et son traitement des motifs artistiques d'autre part. “Dans le Journal”, que l'auteur publie presque sans discontinuer depuis le début des années 1980, l'évocation ou la description d'oeuvres d'art occupe une place capitale dans la mesure où chaque oeuvre est toujours traitée en réseau. Cette «expansion» de l'objet permet non seulement d'en faire un élément structurant du texte, mais aussi de le rattacher à d'autres sensations, à d'autres époques, bref à d'autres couches du vécu. L'article esquisse une poétique del 'objet d'art comme réseau à travers une série de microlectures.
Ils' intéresse enfin au rôle clé que joue l 'effet de cadre, c'est-à-dire la restriction de champ qui à la fois suscite, augmente et conserve l'oeuvre d'art en même temps que son appréciation subjective.peerReviewe
Impact of maritime traffic and whale-watching on apparent survival of bottlenose dolphins in the Strait of Gibraltar
No full textEste artículo contiene 10 páginas, 4 figuras, 1 tabla.1. The Strait of Gibraltar is an important habitat for cetaceans due to its high marine
productivity. However, it is also the second most navigated channel in the world,
subjecting cetaceans to a high level of vessel traffic, including an established
whale-watching fleet. Both maritime traffic and whale-watching activities have
been shown to impact the behaviour of cetaceans, but little is known about their
impact on the demography and dynamics of cetacean populations.
2. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impacts of both ferry traffic and whalewatching
vessels on the apparent survival probability of a bottlenose dolphin
(Tursiops truncatus) population that occurs in the Strait.
3. A Bayesian hierarchical mark–recapture modelling approach was applied to 8 years
of photo-identification data (2002–2009). Apparent annual survival probability
was negatively correlated with ferry traffic, which explained >70% of temporal
variation in survival, in contrast to whale-watching, the effect of which was almost
negligible. Despite these results, other natural and human-related factors are
likely to drive apparent survival in the study area.
4. Abundance increased between 2002 and 2005, and then decreased between
2006 and 2009, while local per-capita recruitment decreased from 2004 until the
end of the study period. These shifts correlated temporally with the construction
of a large harbour on the Moroccan coast, which increased maritime traffic significantly,
including a 40% increase in ferry traffic that regularly transited the Strait.
5. These results highlight the need to better understand the impact of maritime traffic
on the demography of the dolphin population in the Strait, in order to implement
evidence-based conservation regulations in a region of high cetacean
occurrence.Funds were partially provided by the Spanish Ministry of Economy
