Abstract:
Density distribution of the common infaunal bivalves, Macoma balthica and Cerastoderma edule, was studied along the Murman Coast of the Barents Sea during 2002–2010. In both species, abundance was generally higher in West Murman in contrast to East Murman. Highest density of Macoma balthica reaching 1535 ind. m−2 was observed in the Kola Inlet. Cerastoderma edule was less abundant; its density rarely exceeded 10 ind. m−2 in all but one site, where 282 ind. m−2 was registered. Reconstruction of abundance distribution across the European geographic range of Macoma balthica revealed that it does not match an ‘abundant-centre’ pattern, having features of ramped north. On the other hand, distribution of Cerastoderma edule abundance across the range generally follows an ‘abundant-centre’ pattern but southern edge populations show relatively higher abundances as compared with those at the north edge (the Barents Sea).

Abstract:
Long-term population dynamics of marine invertebrates can be shaped by environmental conditions as well as biotic factors, including predation, diseases, interspecific or intraspecific competition. Towards the northern edge of species ranges the role of biotic interactions gradually decreases while the impact of climate oscillations becomes more important. This study examined the long-term changes in abundance, individual growth rates and shell shape characteristics of Macoma balthica, one of the dominant species in White Sea soft-bottom intertidal communities. To test the role of predators in changes in clam abundance, we examined the number of moonsnails Amauropsis islandica. Macoma balthica exhibited spatially synchronous population dynamics at six sites in Kandalaksha Bay, where densities of clams varied between 140 and 8500 ind. m−2 during the 21-year period of observations. Statistical modelling using generalized additive models (GAM) shows that a combination of mild winter and warm summer led to an increase in M. balthica density the following year. Predation by A. islandica had no impact on changes in M. balthica density. Growth rates of M. balthica were higher during a cool decade, but clams that lived in a warmer period were characterized by more globose shells. Our results suggest that the climate oscillations can be regarded as the key factor causing the shift in abundance of M. balthica in the White Sea during the last two decades via recruitment and survival.

Abstract:
Abstract. Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are causing severe changes in the global inorganic carbon balance of the oceans. Associated ocean acidification is expected to pose a major threat to marine ecosystems worldwide, and it is also expected to be amplified in the Baltic Sea where the system is already exposed to relatively large natural seasonal and diel pH fluctuations. We studied the responses of larvae of the benthic key species Macoma balthica to a range of future CO2 scenarios using six ∼ 55 m3 mesocosms encompassing the entire pelagic community. The mesocosms were deployed in the northern Baltic Sea in June 2012. We focused on the survival, growth and subsequent settlement process of Macoma balthica when exposed to different levels of future CO2. The size and time to settlement of M. balthica increased along the CO2 gradient, suggesting a developmental delay. With ongoing climate change, both the frequency and extent of regularly occurring high CO2 conditions are likely to increase, and a permanent pH decrease will likely occur. The strong impact of increasing CO2 levels on early-stage bivalves is alarming as these stages are crucial for sustaining viable populations, and a failure in their recruitment would ultimately lead to negative effects on the population.

Abstract:
We evaluated the prevalence of influenza A virus (IAV) in different species of bivalves inhabiting natural water bodies in waterfowl habitat along the Delmarva Peninsula and Chesapeake Bay in eastern Maryland. Bivalve tissue from clam and mussel specimens (Macoma balthica, Macoma phenax, Mulinia sp., Rangia cuneata, Mya arenaria, Guekensia demissa, and an undetermined mussel species) from five collection sites was analyzed for the presence of type A influenza virus by qPCR targeting the matrix gene. Of the 300 tissue samples analyzed, 13 samples (4.3%) tested positive for presence of influenza virus A matrix gene. To our knowledge, this is the first report of detection of IAV in the tissue of any bivalve mollusk from a natural water body.

Abstract:
L'aire de distribution des espèces est conditionnée à la fois par des facteurs biotiques et abiotiques et ses frontières dépendent généralement des limites physiologiques de l'espèce. Ainsi, en bordure d'aire de répartition, les populations se caractérisent par une diversité génétique moindre ainsi qu'une forte différentiation génétique et leur existence dépend d'un équilibre fragile entre événements de colonisation et d'extinction.Depuis les années 1970, l'augmentation et l'accélération des pressions anthropiques exercées sur les écosystèmes bouleversent ces équilibres et des modifications de l'aire de répartition sont observées chez certaines espèces dont le bivalve Macoma balthica, espèce clé des écosystèmes littoraux en Europe, dont la limite sud de répartition s'est décalée vers le nord-est au cours des quarante dernières années.Afin d'évaluer les capacités adaptatives de M. balthica et dans un but de conservation, deux approches complémentaires ont été menées dans des environnements contrastés qui ont permis de mettre en évidence des signes d'adaptation locale.D'une part, l'étude du génome neutre à l'aide des outils méthodologiques et concepts de la génétique des populations a permis d'inférer l'histoire démographique de l'espèce avec une attention particulière portée sur une baie en limite d'aire de répartition (Baie de Marennes Oléron, France) et sur une baie soumise à de fortes pressions physico-chimiques (Baie de Gdansk, Pologne). Nous avons mis en évidence notamment :(i) un polymorphisme significatif dans les populations en limite d'aire en opposition avec les attendus théoriques(ii) des ruptures au flux de gènes dans le golfe de Gascogne soumis au réchauffement des eaux de surface mais aussi le long d'un gradient environnemental dans la baie de Gdansk. D'autre part, l'étude moléculaire de la sélection a été menée par la méthode de pyroséquençage sur le transcriptome d'individus prélevés en milieux contrastés. Cette étude a permis de mettre en évidence des tendances d'expression différentielle de gènes de réponse générale au stress selon le milieu considéré.

Abstract:
In order to improve the knowledge about polluted areas in Sweden, Naturvårdsverket has compiled a list of all establishments and other anthropological activities, so called MIFOobjects, which emit harmful chemicals. Those activities which are placed on land might, depending on factors such as closeness to the sea, water solubility, degradability and toxicity of the chemicals have an impact on the biota in the Baltic Sea. In this study, spatial and statistical methods were used to explore potential relations between the abundance of three indicator organisms (Macoma balthica, Marenzelleria and Monoporeia affinis), closeness and a second variable built risk class of MIFO-objects and local environmental factors (e.g., sea depth, salinity) at the coast of Blekinge. The impact of MIFO-objects on the abundance of the indicator organisms was analyzed with both graphical and numerical multivariate analysis methods such as spearman analysis, principal component analysis and canonical component analysis. Four types of variables were created to enable the analysis. The first two variables were based one distance from emission locations to the study sites. The other pair of variables comprised on variable built on the cumulative risk assessment of the MIFO-objects given by Naturvårdsverket and another that was based on a classification of the emitted pollutants according to their chemical toxicity. The analysis showed that the abundance of Marenzelleria was positively correlated with MIFO-objects both in terms of risk assessment and chemical toxicity. This was probably a result of the fact that Marenzelleria is less sensitive to pollutants and therefore more competitive than other species in its habitat. Since the abundance of Macoma balthica covaried a lot with environmental factors such as salinity it was difficult to distinguish the impact of MIFO-object on the mussel. The statistical base of the abundance of Monoporeia affinis was too small to make any conclusions about what is describing the abundance.

Abstract:
Cultural eutrophication (CE) is the allochthonous input introduction of a quantity of matter, such as sediments, organic material, or nutrients, into a water body over the pre-anthropogenic (natural) levels. In most coastal estuaries CE has come to refer primarily to an increase in the concentration of phyto-nutrients. CE has been identified as the cause of very graphic phenomena such as hypoxia and fish kills. In this work I examine the potential for CE to alter the composition of the primary producer community and potentially alter or disrupt the benthic food web, using Macoma balthica as an indicator species. A series of surveys and experiments identified that clams in areas with greater than average nutrient concentrations had lower health, slower growth, and greater non-predatory mortality than clams in less eutrophic areas. Primary production, as estimated from chlorophyll a concentration, was greater at higher nutrient locations while the health and growth of clams was lower. The phytoplankton community in the more eutrophic areas had a lower proportion of diatoms relative to dinoflagellates. A biochemical analysis of clam tissue indicated that the clams from the less nutrient rich sites had a greater proportion of Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) relative to other fatty acids. Diatoms are rich in EPA compared to dinoflagellates. Thus, we hypothesize that CE induced shifts from diatom based production toward dinoflagellates may be limiting trophic transfer due to a lack of EPA. Using a series of models we were able to predict that trophic disruption could significantly reduce the scope for growth of the blue crab, Callenecties sapidus . Thus it is possible that the CE induced changes to primary producer community could disrupt the food web creating a trophic bottleneck.

Abstract:
Dans un contexte environnemental anthropisé, fragmenté et soumis à un changement climatique rapide, l’appréhension des processus d'adaptation locale des organismes marins par l'étude de zones de contact entre taxa proches constitue une approche privilégiée. Dans ces zones, des génotypes hybrides persistent malgré un état de maladaptation liée à des incompatibilités génétiques endogènes et/ou des barrières exogènes. L'histoire biogéographique complexe de la telline baltique Macoma balthica fait émerger quatre zones hybrides européennes, dont l'une, localisée autour de la Pointe Finistère (France), est le résultat d’un contact entre deux stocks génétiques ayant divergé en allopatrie. Ces divergences sont susceptibles de rompre la coadaptation entre génomes nucléaire et mitochondrial en raison de l'émergence d'incompatibilités mitonucléaires (MNIs). Ainsi, les sous-unités protéiques des cinq complexes de la chaine OXPHO sont codées à la fois par des gènes nucléaires et mitochondriaux, et une coévolution inter-génomique étroite est requise pour maintenir la production énergétique cellulaire. De précédentes données de transcriptomique dévoilent de probables MNIs chez M. balthica au niveau des complexes respiratoires I et V. Afin d’apporter des éléments de compréhension aux mécanismes de maintien des zones hybrides dans un contexte de pression anthropique, le présent travail se propose de tester l'hypothèse de putatives MNIs dans cette zone de contact. Pour cela, (i) six mitogénomes correspondant à cinq lignées haplotypiques divergentes en Europe ont été séquencés et l'architecture génomique a été étudiée conjointement à une cartographie des mutations des 13 gènes mitochondriaux, (ii) le niveau de transcription de 5 gènes nucléaires et 8 gènes mitochondriaux (complexe I à V) des individus hybrides a été comparé à celui des lignées parentales après détermination du statut d'hybridation de chaque individu (six populations françaises). A défaut d'apporter des éléments de réponses concrets quant à l'existence de MNIs chez M. balthica, et ses répercussions évolutives en terme de dépression d'hybridation, ce travail constitue un tremplin vers une étude approfondie de la zone hybride française en développant de nouveaux outils moléculaires, et de solides techniques expérimentales pour la conduite de futurs croisements artificiels
In the anthropized, fragmented environmental context subject to rapid climate change, understand local adaptation processes of marine organisms by studying the contact zones between close taxa is a preferred approach. In these areas, hybrid genotypes persist despite a maladaptive state related to endogenous genetic incompatibilities and/or exogenous barrier. The complex biogeographic history of the Baltic tellin Macoma balthica leads to emergence of several European hybrid zones, one of which, located around the Pointe Finistère (France), is the result of the confluence of two genetic stocks that have diverged in allopatric. These divergences may have lead to the co-adaptation breakdown between nuclear and mitochondrial genomes due to the emergence of mito-nuclear incompatibilities (MNIs). Thus, the different protein subunits of the five OXPHO chain complexes are encoded by both nuclear and mitochondrial genes, and a tight inter-genomic coevolution is required to maintain the cellular energy production. Recent transcriptomic data unveil the existence of underlying MNIs in M. balthica, bearing by the respiratory complexes I and V. In order to provide some understanding clues of mechanisms in hybrid zone's maintenance in the context of human pressure, the present work aims to test the assumption of putative MNIs in this area. For this purpose, (i) six mitogenomes corresponding to five divergent haplotype lineages in Europe were sequenced and the genomic architecture has been studied jointly to a mapping mutation of the 13 mitochondrial genes, (ii) the level of transcription of 5 nuclear and 8 mitochondrial genes (complex I to V) of hybrid individuals was compared to the parental lineages after identification of the hybrid status of each individual (six french populations). For the lack of bringing concrete answers concerning the existence of MNIs in M. balthica, and its evolutionary effects in term of hybrid breakdown, this work is a springboard for a comprehensive study of the French hybrid zone by developing new molecular tools, and stable experimental technics for the realisation of future artificial crosses

Abstract:
Le fonctionnement, tant dynamique que trophique, du peuplement macrozoobenthique de l'estran du vivier-sur-mer (baie du mont-saint-michel), soumis a des apports de matiere organique en provenance des marais sales adjacents, a ete aborde par differentes methodes. Au sein de ce peuplement se referant a la communaute boreo-atlantique a macoma balthica, se distinguent trois facies le long d'un gradient cote-large. En haut estran, la structuration du peuplement semble etre affectee par les interactions intra- et interspecifiques des populations dominantes. La methode des marqueurs lipidiques a montre, en plus des diatomees et des bacteries, que la matiere organique d'origine halophytique, participe au complexe de la matiere organique des sediments de surface. Sa repartition sur l'estran semble etre affectee par l'hydrodynamisme et les installations mytilicoles. Les compositions lipidiques des principales especes deposivore et suspensivore de la communaute a m. Balthica revelent que ces dernieres ingerent et assimilent la matiere organique halophytique mais aussi les bacteries benthiques et les diatomees. Les niveaux d'utilisation des differentes ressources identifiees precedemment par l'une des especes dominantes du macrozoobenthos, nereis diversicolor, ont ete mesurees a partir de la methode qui combine l'analyse compartimentale de la radioactivite incorporee dans la ressource et la modelisation de son transfert au sein des compartiments. Les diatomees sont plus efficacement absorbees (33%) que les bacteries (18%), ou les detritus frais d'une plante halophyte : spartina anglica (6%). Cette faible efficacite d'absorption est neanmoins suffisante pour induire, en condition experimentale, une croissance significative de juveniles nereis diversicolor alimentes a partir de detritus frais de cette plante. Une estimation de l'apport en carbone allochtone dans le systeme a ete realisee a partir de deux modeles a compartiments representant les transferts de cet element au sein du reseau trophique benthique respectivement en haut et bas estran. Le carbone allochtone compte entre 46,4% et 73,1% du carbone entrant dans le reseau. Par ailleurs, les resultats des modeles ont revele que la macrofaune endogee intervient tres peu dans le transfert de carbone detritique contrairement aux bacteries et a la meiofaune.

Abstract:
La Barge à queue noire Limosa limosa est un oiseau limicole communément rencontré tout au long de l’année sur le territoire Français. Les individus présents sur la partie ouest de l’Europe sont représentés par deux sous-espèces : la sous-espèce L. l. limosa, dite barge à queue noire « continentale », est principalement observée pendant les phases de migration et en très faibles effectifs reproducteurs sur les marais ouest Atlantique; la sous-espèce L. l. islandica, dite « islandaise », est quant à elle, exclusivement présente en hivernage le long des côtes atlantiques et de la Manche. L’étude menée au cours de ces travaux de thèse porte principalement sur la barge « islandaise » en dehors de la période de reproduction sur les sites d’hivernage le long de la façade atlantique Française. Contrairement à L. l. limosa, la population de L. l. islandica connaît sur l’ensemble de son aire de répartition, une expansion aussi bien en termes d’effectif qu’en nombre de sites fréquentés. La synthèse des effectifs nationaux hivernants montre que la population hivernante en France suit cette même tendance, avec une progression de 1350 à 27000 individus au cours des vingt dernières années. Actuellement, la France accueille environ 30 % de la population sur un nombre de sites grandissant mais néanmoins restreint, principalement représentés par les Réserves Naturelles littorales abritant des vasières intertidales utilisés comme zone d’alimentation. À partir de données biométriques, génétiques ou encore des historiques de vie des oiseaux équipés de bagues couleurs, les périodes de présence des deux populations sur le territoire Français ont pu être mis à jour. De plus, au sein de la sous-espèce islandaise, plusieurs durées d’hivernage en France ont été avancées, pouvant varier de 2 à 8 mois selon les individus. La phénologie des effectifs étudiée sur chacun des sites suggère une utilisation très variée des sites ainsi que de nombreux échanges entre ces sites au cours d’un même hiver. Couramment utilisée dans la compréhension de la distribution des populations d’oiseaux, la disponibilité de la ressource trophique a également été étudiée au regard du régime alimentaire de la Barge queue noire à partir d’échantillonnages de macrofaune, de collecte de fèces mais aussi d’analyses d’isotopes stables. Au cours de l’hiver, à l’échelle des Pertuis Charentais, les barges montrent deux régimes distincts mais néanmoins monospécifiques. Elles s’alimentent de rhizomes de zostères (Zostera noltii) sur les herbiers des vasières de l’Ile de Ré et de bivalves (Macoma balthica) sur les vasières nues. Au cours de l’hiver, il est supposé que la déplétion de ces ressources conduit à une redistribution des effectifs de barges sur de nouvelles zones d’alimentation voire de nouveaux reposoirs. Les deux régimes alimentaires sont majoritairement retrouvés à l’échelle de la distribution nationale des barges. Néanmoins, leurs distributions au sein des sites français dépend des caractéristiques sédimentaires, des interactions intra et interspécifiques, de la disponibilité de reposoirs de marée haute et des dérangements tels que la chasse. Ce travail a permis d’établir de solides connaissances et aboutit à la collecte de données détaillées et complémentaires qui vont permettre de tester les modèles théoriques de distribution spatiale des organismes à l’échelle d’une région de leur aire de distribution
The Black-tailed godwit Limosa limosa is a shorebird species commonly observed in France throughout the year. Two sub-species are dissociated in West European. The so called “continental” Godwit L. l. limosa is observed in France during migration cycles and some pairs breed in marshes on the Atlantic coast; the so called “Icelandic” Godwit winters exclusively along coast of the Western Europe. This present work mainly investigates the wintering ecology of Icelandic–godwit in coastal mudflats of France. Contrarily to the continental sub-species, the whole Icelandic-godwit L. l. islandica population increased quantitatively as long as the number of sites used. In France, national counts pointed out that wintering population follows this trend and have increased from 1350 to 27000 individuals during the last twenty years. This population represents now around 30% of the whole islandica population but individuals stage in large flocks in a very limited number of sites, mainly included in Nature Reserves. From standard biometrics, molecular analyses and resighting data, phenologies of the both sub-species can then be specified for France. Furthermore, this study allowed to define how long the wintering period lasts in France for Icelandic-Godwits, between 2 and 8 months depending on individuals. Phenology at site scale suggested that godwits used several sites throughout the winter. As currently used for understanding the distribution of bird populations, trophic resource availability was studied in regard to the diet of the Black-tailed godwit from macrofauna sampling, droppings collection and stable isotope analyses. At the Pertuis Charentais scale, two feeding behaviors were clearly distinguished: seagrass grazing (Zostera notlii) or bivalve probing (Macoma balthica). Food depletion along the winter is expected to lead to the decrease of local populations, and to the selection of new feeding area or roost. Considering the distribution of the species at the national level, the diets were recorded depending on the mudflats’ characteristics. Even if food distribution is commonly used to understand at first the bird population distribution, our observations point out that, here at a local level, more parameters may influence the wintering distribution such as sediment characteristics, intra and inter-specific interactions, high tide roosts availability and human disturbances as the hunt. This work allowed to establish a solid knowledge and to collect many complementary data to test the distribution theories on the Black-tailed Godwit population wintering in France
