Full textAu courant de la période industrielle, la ville de Québec a connu une croissance démographique rapide alimentée, entre autres, par une immigration européenne massive. Celle-ci contribua d’une façon notable aux changements socioéconomiques de la capitale durant cette période. Parmi les migrants, les Irlandais catholiques furent nombreux à transiter ou à s’établir à Québec et y laissèrent des traces encore visibles aujourd’hui. Or, bien que l’histoire de la diaspora irlandaise en sol nord-américain ait fait l’objet de plusieurs recherches, le cas de la ville de Québec, tout comme sa période d’industrialisation, reste encore peu étudié à ce jour. Grâce à l’utilisation des recensements nominatifs canadiens de 1852 à 1911 et des actes de mariage, cette étude a comme objectif d’analyser le niveau d’intégration de la communauté irlandaise de Québec sur les plans économique, social et spatial, et ce, à micro-échelle. Ainsi, en observant les emplois et la mobilité socioprofessionnelle des travailleurs, les unions exogames et l’évolution de l’établissement irlandais sur le territoire à l’étude, la présente recherche permet d’établir un constat positif : les Irlandais catholiques ont su s’intégrer à la société urbaine de Québec. Néanmoins, considérant la forte diminution démographique de la communauté au tournant du siècle, l’intégration s’est effectuée davantage à l’échelle des ménages que pour l’ensemble de la communauté.
During the industrial period, the city of Quebec experienced rapid population growth fueled, among others, by massive European immigration. This contributed significantly to socio-economic changes in the capital during this period. Among the migrants, many Irish Catholics passed through or settled in Quebec City and left marks still visible today. However, although the history of the Irish diaspora in North America has been the subject of several studies, the case of Quebec City, especially during the industrial period, is as yet little studied. With the help of Canadian censuses from 1852 to 1911 and marriage records, this study aims to analyze the degree of integration of the Quebec Irish community in economic, social and spatial components, at micro-scale. Through the observation of employment and socio-professional mobility of the workers, exogamous unions and the evolution of Irish Catholics establishment on the territory, this study shows that overall Quebec Irish catholic have been able to integrate themselves in Quebec urban society. However, considering the important population decline at the turn of the century, this integration is more visible at the household level than at the community level.

Full textLe rapport entre le Québec et l’Irlande constitue la base d’une enquête sur la manière dont les stratégies et les pratiques de traduction ont filtré l’irlandicité vis-à-vis d’une sensibilité québécoise. Cette thèse analyse le rapport entre la performativité, l’identité, et l’appropriation dans le théâtre québécois. Comme constructions, l’identité et la traduction exigent de repenser la façon dont l’idéologie que nous attachons à l’identité, à la traduction, et au langage sur scène influence les moyens par lesquels nous comprenons les rapports culturels en Irlande et au Québec. La présence performative de l’altérité, construite au moyen du français québécois offre une opportunité pour interroger l’imaginaire québécois filtré à travers le théâtre irlandais. La force performative des traductions de Pygmalion de Bernard Shaw, La Reine de beauté de Leenane de Martin McDonagh, Howie le Rookie de Mark O’Rowe, et Limbes (Purgatoire, Calvaire et La Résurrection) de W.B. Yeats, témoigne de l’attraction et l’affinité des traducteurs québécois pour un large éventail de sujets qui, dans la culture de départ, interroge directement ou indirectement l’irlandicité tout au long du XXe siècle. Chaque chapitre analyse des textes sources par rapport à leurs traductions mais examine également les facteurs atténuants de la réception de ces pièces par des spécialistes du théâtre au Québec et en Irlande, en offrant une perspective culturelle transnationale et comparative. Les questions critiques abordées dans cette thèse incluent le rapport de Bernard Shaw avec son lieu de naissance irlandais, la relation souvent tendue de Martin McDonagh avec l’Irlande qui résulte de la réception internationale de ses pièces, de la subversion de la forme narrative par Mark O’Rowe à travers la pièce monologue, et de l’appropriation du théâtre Noh par Yeats. Cette thèse place ces oeuvres dans un nouveau contexte analytique en examinant les processus et les moyens par lesquels les oeuvres sont situées de façon linguistique et dramaturgique dans la traduction québécoise. Le théâtre irlandais en traduction au Québec met en scène l’agencement potentiel de l’altérité irlandaise par une mise en parallèle du français québécois et de l’hibernoanglais, car elles subvertissent les normes linguistiques. Ce rapport aide à combler le vide dans le discours traductologique et théâtral. Comparer les traductions québécoises aux textes sources ne constitue pas une mise en valeur des traductions ; toutefois, celles-ci ne représentent pas non plus une version diminuée de l’originalité du champ littéraire québécois. Les traductions québécoises du théâtre irlandais ne fonctionnent pas en tant que monolithe culturel; elles ne représentent pas une version figée de l’irlandicité ou de la québécité. Chacune traite le français québécois en fonction des stratégies de traduction proactives afin de souligner les perspectives différentes qui parlent de l’expérience francophone en Amérique du Nord. En problématisant la notion de performativité en ce qui concerne l’identité et sa performance, nous pouvons voir comment l’objectif ultime de la mise en scène, la performance, suggère un processus d’authentification plutôt que celui d’une représentation intrinsèquement inférieure au texte source parce que le premier offre une version figée et potentiellement stéréotypée d’identités qui sont le produit d’influences culturelles et linguistiques qui se chevauchent et se superposent. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, j’analyse, à partir de la traduction québécoise d'oeuvres irlandaises, le rapport à l’irlandicité et à l’esthétique du champ théâtral irlandais qui reflète le même genre d’évolution d’une société ayant expérimenté des changements à grande échelle par rapport à l’identité culturelle et linguistique.
The relationship between Quebec and Ireland forms the basis for an inquiry into how translation strategies and practices have filtered Irishness through a Québécois sensibility. This thesis analyses the relationship between performativity, identity, and appropriation in Quebec theatre. As constructions, identity and translation require rethinking how the ideology attached to identity, translation, and language on stage influences the cultural power relationships in and between Ireland and Quebec. The performative presence of alterity on stage, in this case, of Irishness, as constructed through Québécois-French offers an opportunity through which I question Quebec’s literary imaginary as it is filtered through modern Irish theatre. The performative and linguistic forms of the Québécois translations of Pygmalion by Bernard Shaw, The Beauty Queen of Leenane by Martin McDonagh, Howie the Rookie by Mark O’Rowe, as well as Calvary, The Resurrection, and Purgatory by W.B. Yeats, demonstrate the attraction to and affinity for a wide range of subjects felt by Québécois translators that directly and indirectly question Irishness in the source culture throughout the twentieth century. Each chapter features an analysis of the source texts against their translations, but also studies the mitigating factors in the reception of these plays by theatrical scholars in Quebec and Ireland, offering a transnational and comparative cultural perspective. The critical questions addressed in this thesis include Bernard Shaw’s complex relationship with his Irish birthplace, Martin McDonagh’s often strained relationship with Ireland resulting from how his plays are received internationally, Mark O’Rowe’s subversion of the storytelling form through the monologue play, and Yeats’s appropriation of Noh theatre. This thesis places these works in a new analytical context by examining the processes and means through which the plays and the translations are linguistically and dramaturgically situated within the Québécois theatrical field. Translated Irish theatre performed in Quebec reveals the potential agency of Irish alterity through a comparison of Québécois-French and the English language as it is spoken in Ireland, and as both languages subvert linguistic norms. This relationship helps to fill a void in the discourse surrounding translation and theatre studies. Comparing Québécois translations to their source texts does not constitute an attempt to privilege the translations over the source texts; however, these translations also do not represent a vilification of the originality of the Québécois literary field. Québécois translations of Irish theatre do not function as cultural monoliths, which is to say, they do not represent fixed versions of Irishness or Québécité. Instead, each harnesses Québécois-French via proactive translation strategies to highlight the different perspectives that speak to the Francophone experience in North America. In problematising the notion of performativity, as it relates to identity and the performance thereof, we can see how the ultimate goal of staged performance, the mise en scène, suggests a process of authentication rather than a representation that is inherently inferior to the source text, owing to a perception that the former offers a fixed and potentially stereotypical version of identities that are products of overlapping and layering cultural and linguistic influences. Within this thesis, I explore the relationship to Irishness and aesthetics of the Irish theatrical field as it reflects a similar evolution within a Quebec society that has also experienced large-scale changes in cultural and linguistic identity in modern times.

Full textOne aim of the present study was to search for genetics variants associated with autism and other related disorders. This study represents the first family-based association study looking at the entire X chromosome using a French-Canadian autistic population, a genetically homogenous group. We found association between autism and markers at two loci. Our results support the existence of a putative gene located on the X chromosome and moreover the founder effect, in the French-Canadian population, may provide greater power to fine map disease genes especially in complex traits.
The second aim of the present thesis was to confirm the involvement of the MECP2 gene in our RTT group of patients. While we confirm the presence of mutations in this gene in our cohort of RTT patients we also demonstrated that clinical stringency greatly influences the mutation detection rate for this disorder.

Full textThis thesis examines the private charitable sector for English-speakers in Quebec City from 1759 to 1900. It provides an overview of poor relief associations, the needs they addressed, and the gaps that remained. The role of private charities increased over the period studied, and that of the state decreased. Compassion toward the poor also increased, leading to new types of charitable organizations for the underclass. Despite this, the prison system served as a refuge to fill gaps in the private charitable sector. More specifically, this study demonstrates how changes in ethno-religious relations shaped the charity network. In the first half century after the Conquest of Quebec, British authorities supported the Catholic charitable infrastructure established during the French regime, which was unusual within the British Empire. After 1815, as immigration from Britain and Ireland increased, lay private voluntary associations emerged, including many that involved elite cooperation across religious and linguistic lines. Instances of cooperation decreased from 1835 to 1855 due to rising ethnic boundaries caused by the defeat of Patriote republicanism, an increase in religious practice, the establishment of separate confessional schools, and a new type of Irish-Catholic nationalism following the Great Famine. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, the private charitable sector became sharply divided into three parallel networks with hardly any overlap: one for Francophone Catholics, one for English-speaking Irish Catholics, and one for English-speaking Protestants. Two core institutions founded in the 1850s, Saint Bridget’s Asylum and the Ladies’ Protestant Home, cemented the divide. Rare attempts to challenge these boundaries resulted in tension and even violence. Despite these divisions, there was a greater mutual respect of established boundaries among communities than in most North American cities.

Full textThe second part addresses linkage-disequilibrium based fine mapping in the French Canadian population. The performance of five linkage-disequilibrium based fine-mapping methods is evaluated using French Canadian chromosomes with one of three diseases found in this population: oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD), hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED), and sensorimotor polyneuropathy with or without agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACCPN). The gene for OPMD was recently mapped and cloned, allowing us to evaluate the performance of the methods with the OPMD results, and to make predictions about the ACCPN and HED putative gene positions. In addition, a new approach to linkage-disequilibrium based fine mapping is presented using FrenchCanadian ascending genealogies. The method involves two steps. First, the likely founding couple of a mutation-bearing chromosome is identified using a computerised randomisation statistic. Then, using a delete-d jackknife resampling scheme, the distribution of gene mapping estimates is calculated from the count of ancestral recombinants and ancestral meioses joining the identified founding couple to the disease gene carriers. Gene mapping estimates are calculated from each marker individually, and confidence intervals of the estimates are derived from the jackknife distributions. The method, when applied to French Canadian families with OPMD, successfully confirmed the localisation of PABP2 responsible for OPMD and performed better than other linkage disequilibrium-based mapping models.

Full textWe already have a good knowledge of the sociodemographic characteristics of the women called the King’s Daughters and the context of their arrival in New France. However, here we provide for the first time an estimate of the demographic and genetic contribution of the King’s Daughters to the contemporary Quebec population, both for the province as a whole and on a regional basis using the BALSAC population database. We found that two-thirds of the five million individuals in BALSAC are descendants of the King’s Daughters. These descendants settled throughout Quebec following the opening of new regions to colonization but in greater proportions in western Quebec. Nearly 78% of the King’s Daughters from our initial list have descendants up to the present day. We also reconstructed the ascending genealogies of more than 60,000 married individuals in Quebec in 1960. We calculated the genetic contribution of the King's Daughters to this group, which stands at 9.3%. This contribution represents 40% of the genetic contribution of French female founders, and slightly more than a third of the genetic contribution of all female founders who were identified in our genealogical sample. We have observed that some King’s Daughters have a very important individual contribution in the regions of eastern Quebec, which also sets them apart across the province. We also calculated that 73% of the King's Daughters who had descendants to the contemporary period passed on their mitochondrial DNA. In conclusion, we were able, using a genealogical approach and demogenetic analyses, to show that the King's Daughters and their descendants played a significant role in the demographic history of Quebec and the constitution of its genetic heritage.

Full textPerch growth rates consistently decreased as fish numerical density increased (r$ sp2$ = 0.60) and increased as feeding levels increased (r$ sp2$ = 0.30). I found no significant relationship between the quantity of food consumed by perch and fish numerical density. Prey quality explained from 50 to 95% of the observed variability in growth but was related to fish numerical density in only one of the 3 perch age classes studied.
I conclude that non-exploitative interactions (operating through increased activity costs) is a more viable explanation for the among-population variability in fish growth rates than is exploitative competition (yielding decreases in the total quantities of food consumed and/or prey quality).

Full textThis research focuses on the use of health and social services by the Aboriginal peoples living in urban areas. Studies on the subject show that there are social inequalities in this population, which results, among other things, in a difficulty in accessing these services. The lack of culturally appropriate services and the presence of discrimination among providers are the two main factors raised by the scientific literature about this issue. In a culturalist approach, the cultural peculiarities of First Nations, Métis and Inuit are put forward to explain it. This study offers a different take on the issue by examining the experience of First Nations people in terms of their relationships with professionals in the health and social services. In what ways do they feel perceived by them? What are the impacts of these impressions on their experience and use of services? The results show that First Nations people experience different experiences, ranging from satisfaction to loss of confidence in the services received. However, the negative elements spontaneously raised by the participants are more often organizational than relational. The First Nations people who participated in this thesis are looking for empathic professionals and egalitarian relationships.

Full textAmong the regions of quebec, saguenay-lac-saint-jean stands out for its isolation, its short history and the ethnocultural features of its population. Moreover, here we have a population especially propitious for our double-edged research - that is, to map out a micro-scale sociogeography of health, and also to work out the main factors associated with a rather poor health record. Thanks to an interdisciplinary approach, spatial locations can be used to reveal disparities in health, whereas changes of scale can allow us to track certain pathogenic patterns and different causes of death. Making use of models of social ecology developed in the chicoutimi-jonquiere urban area, it is possible to grasp sociospatial disparities by homogeneous zones. Sociogeographical gradients then show up, linked to the prevalence of certain genetic diseases, complex disorders (with a genetic susceptibility), or the risk of the occurrence of chronic disorders leading to death. Beyond statistical correlations and spatial associations, we propose explanations for the differences of levels of pathology by examining mainly how the present manifestations of the rates of illness and death may be associated with socio-economic inequalities, or may be inherited from past conditions. By bringing up the delicate question of determinism, which evokes the issue of + captivity/ mobility ; we have a look at, finally, the matter of equal opportunity and that of continuity of social conditions. From the epidemiological transition to the patterns of population settlement, we draw a socio-historic portrait; we work up a sociogeographic model which sheds new light on the emergence of sociospatial discontinuities of health and of schooling

Full textThe Québec population (~7 million residents) is constituted of approximately six million individuals that descended from an estimated genetic pool of 8500 founders. Utilizing the unique features of this population, this thesis is about the molecular genetics glaucoma, an insidious ocular disease that is a worldwide leading cause of blindness. To study the genetic factors involved in this disorder, we recruited families segregating primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), and unrelated individuals also affected by glaucoma or ocular hypertension (OHT). Mutations of the TIGR/myocilin (MYOC) gene, until recently the only known genetic cause for juvenile and adult-onset POAG, have been screened in 18 families, representing 180 affected individuals, and 422 sporadic cases. Mutational analysis of this gene showed mutation prevalences of 22,2 and 3,8%, respectively, in families and unrelated patients. Genotype/phenotype correlations of some of the mutations found were established, revealing that the Gly367Arg and Lys423Glu mutations were the most severe. Characterization of allelic signatures surrounding the TIGR/MYOC gene allowed an estimation of the number of founders that may have disseminated the mutations found in the Québec population sample and an evaluation of the possible application of this technique to similar disorders. Eight families with enough individuals to undertake a preliminary linkage study were genotyped on six known glaucoma susceptibility regions. The genotyping of these families aimed the reduction of the genetic intervals of one or more of these known regions to eventually find a new glaucoma-causing gene. One family, representing a strong linkage potential to the GLC1B locus, was extended to have a higher number of affected individuals harboring the candidate disease haplotype linked to this region positioned at chromosome 2cen-q13. Although some interesting candidate genes were identified in this locus, the saturation of the chromosomal region with polymorphic markers revealed the absence of a common haplotype between all the affected individuals of this family. Additional recruiting of large families segregating POAG and the extension of some pedigrees already investigated will be necessary to the identification of new genetic factors closely involved in this common ocular pathology.

Full textN fertilizer application depressed soybean nodulation consistently, but improved soybean growth where initial soil nitrate levels were low. Grain yield was increased at one site with added N, where soybean growth was stressed by low initial soil nitrate levels (below 17 kg N/ha) and severe summer drought. Soybean N and K uptake were increased with increased N fertilizer but P uptake was not affected. Residual soil nitrate content in the 0-50 cm depth in the fall of the crop year increased linearly and this effect carried over to the following spring.
Plant population had little effect on individual plant nodulation but increased fresh nodule mass per unit area. Plant biomass, grain yield and nutrient uptake were increased with increased population densities.
The cultivar Apache had better nodulation potential and grain yield potential and was better adapted to intensive management practices with high plant populations than the cultivar Maple-Arrow.

Full textThe Inuit of Nunavik are exposed by their traditional diet to environmental contaminants including methylmercury (MeHg) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), at levels potentially noxious for health. Nevertheless, this diet is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and selenium. We formulated the hypothesis that these dietary factors could have beneficial effects counteracting the potentially pro-oxidant effects of contaminants. An epidemiological study conducted in 1992 retrieved a relatively low prevalence of ischemic heart diseases and type 2 diabetes in these Inuit, maybe because of their high consumption of omega-3 fatty acids. The initiation of research on the Inuit and environmental contaminants to which they are exposed to revealed another factor that might affect their health: a high prevalence of obesity. In fact, the observation that several participants suffered from obesity lead us to carry out relevant measurements in order to assess metabolic syndrome components, the inflammatory status and endothelial function in this population, in an attempt to distinguish the potentially harmful effects linked to obesity from those linked to contaminants. The potential effects of omega-3 fatty acids on the components of the metabolic syndrome have therefore also been investigated. Our results indicate, firstly, that the observed levels of contaminants had no evident oxidant effect detectable at the level of the redox couples of vitamin E and coenzyme Q10 in these Inuit. The contaminants were nevertheless associated with an increase of low-density lipoprotein oxidation, and a stimulation of the antioxidant defenses. Besides, a positive association between omega-3 fatty acids and fasting blood glucose suggests that the introduction of a western diet rich in refined sugars could induce the expression of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia phenotypes without concomitant dyslipidemia usually reported for Caucasians. In fact, the lipid profile of the Inuit remained favourable, characterized by low levels of triglycerides and free fatty acids, and high levels of HDL cholesterol. Moreover, close to half of the studied subjects presented a fasting hyperinsulinemia, without evidence of peripheral inflammation or endothelial dysfunction, which are conditions usually met in hyperinsulinemic and obese Caucasians.

Full textLes fluctuations de la densité de population et la stochasticité environnementale induisent des variations dans l’acquisition des ressources et les dépenses énergétiques des ongulés. Ces variations modulent, via différents mécanismes, leurs stratégies biodémographiques. L’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer l’influence de la densité de population et des facteurs environnementaux sur l’allocation des ressources aux différents paramètres individuels de la condition corporelle et de l’effort de reproduction chez les femelles du cerf de Virginie, ainsi que de mieux comprendre les conséquences post-reproductives sur la condition corporelle. Nous avons utilisé les données d’un suivi à long terme des traits biodémographiques de cerfs abattus à la chasse sportive à l’île d’Anticosti (Québec, Canada), en mettant l’emphase sur les données recueillies sur les femelles adultes (>2 ans). Nos résultats démontrent que la variabilité des traits biodémographiques est liée aux effets simples de la densité de population et de la productivité végétale. Une densité de population élevée réduisait les gains automnaux sous forme de réserves corporelles, ce qui diminuait la probabilité de concevoir des jumeaux ou des triplets. Une densité de population élevée à la naissance influençait positivement la masse corporelle des femelles à l’automne, et conséquemment la taille de la portée. La vitesse de débourrement de la végétation au printemps affectait positivement l’accumulation des réserves de gras. Notre étude a aussi permis de détecter des effets synergiques entre la densité de population et des facteurs environnementaux sur différents paramètres de la condition corporelle et de l’effort reproducteur. L’effet négatif des précipitations hivernales sur les réserves automnales en gras était seulement détecté à faible densité de population. À faible densité de population, les femelles nées sous des conditions environnementales défavorables tendaient à retarder l’âge à la première reproduction. La productivité végétale au printemps influençait négativement la masse corporelle des femelles à l’automne, et cet effet était plus prononcé à densité de population élevée. Enfin, notre étude révèle que la reproduction affecte la condition corporelle des femelles à l’automne. La lactation influençait négativement la masse corporelle et les réserves corporelles à l’automne, alors que la conception influençait négativement les réserves de gras. En somme, notre étude apporte de nouvelles connaissances pour mieux anticiper la façon dont les populations d’ongulés nordiques, limitées en ressources, peuvent répondre aux changements environnementaux futurs. Nous suggérons que pour les femelles vivant à densité de population élevée et dans des conditions climatiques rigoureuses, la plasticité des stratégies biodémographiques est un déterminant majeur du potentiel reproducteur.
Both population density and environmental stochasticity generate variations in energetic intake and nutritional requirements and expenditures of ungulates. These variations modulate their life-history strategies through different mechanisms. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of population density and environmental factors on resource allocation among various parameters of individual body condition and reproductive effort in female white-tailed deer, and to better understand post-reproductive consequences on body condition. We used a long-term dataset of life-history traits of white-tailed deer harvested on Anticosti Island (Québec, Canada), with an emphasis on adult females (>2 years old). Our study revealed that variability in life-history traits is linked to population density and vegetation productivity. High population density reduced autumn gains in body reserves, which in turn reduced the probability of conceiving twins or triplets. High population density at birth positively influenced female body mass in autumn, and consequently litter size. The rate of the spring green-up positively affected body fat accumulation. Our study also allowed us to detect synergistic effects between population density and environmental factors on body condition and reproductive parameters. The negative effect of winter precipitations on fat reserves in autumn only occurred at low population density. At low population density, females born under harsh environmental conditions tended to delay age at first reproduction. Vegetation productivity in spring negatively influenced female body mass in autumn, and this effect was more pronounced at high population density. Finally, our study revealed that reproduction affected female body condition in autumn. Lactation negatively influenced body mass and body reserves, while conception negatively influenced fat reserves. In summary, our study provides additional insights on how northern ungulates limited by food may respond to future environmental changes. We suggest that plasticity in life-history strategies is a major determinant of reproductive potential for females living at high density and under harsh climates.

Full textThe distributions of alleles at both loci are skewed with the long tail towards the larger alleles. The observed heterozygosity at the 3$ sp prime$HVR locus for 281 individuals was 0.91, ranging from 0.85 in the Jewish group to 1.00 among French Canadians and East Asians. Statistical analysis demonstrated significant variation among some of the ethnic groups.
The observed heterozygosity at the 5$ sp prime$HVR locus in 225 individuals was 0.75. Heterozygosity varied from 0.91 in East Asians to 0.61 of Middle Eastern samples studied. 28% of samples also display a RsaI site polymorphism near the 5$ sp prime$HVR locus.
Genetic distance analysis demonstrated that the largest distance at these two loci exists between the Jews and East Asians (D = 0.119).
Both the 3$ sp prime$HVR and the 5$ sp prime$HVR are extremely variable in all the populations studied, and thus will serve as informative markers for chromosome 16p for clinical as well as population studies.

Full textWe investigated the influence of population density on movements, activity budgets and space utilization of white-tailed deer in a controlled-density experiment. Movements and activity budgets were generally not greatly affected by density. Seasonal and annual increases in végétation abundance resulted in a réduction in the length of activity bouts because the time required to gather food decreases when végétation becomes more abundant. In unenclosed areas, deer spent less time active at the beginning of the summer and more time resting, likely to process less digestible forage. Deer at high density, contrarily to deer at low density, did not select areas with dense cover. If population density reduces forage availability, we predict that deer will adapt by feeding for longer periods, particularly at the beginning of the summer when forage is more limited. Space utilization in relation to food and cover is affected by population density.

Full textThe regional multiplier is specified by the characteristics of its economic space, particularly in the context of a small-scale spatial economy. The first part of the thesis studies the nature of that economic space and presents a classification of the quebec regions from that concept. Thereafter, we analyse the interaction between the economic space and the multiplier with emphasis on the multiplicand and the first induced effects. The second part describes the two main methodological approaches in the general formulation of the regional multiplier: economic base multiplier (american school) and neo-keyenesian regional income multiplier (english school). The third part finally applied the regional multiplier to a small-scale spatial economy by estimating the economic effects of a regional university on its immediate sub-region. More exactly, we estimate the economic impact of the universite du quebec a rimouski on the urban economic area of rimouski, located in the east of quebec region
