Abstract:

Dans les écosystèmes littoraux, l‘activité anthropique, mais aussi le contexte naturel induisent chez les organismes aquatiques des situations de « multistress ». Parmi les sources potentielles de perturbation, trois d‘entre elles ont été étudiées : contamination métallique, infection bactérienne et infestation parasitaire. Une approche intégrée de leurs interactions sur la réponse génétique, protéique, cellulaire et populationnelle chez la coque Cerastoderma edule et la palourde japonaise Ruditapes philippinarum a été entreprise sur le terrain et en laboratoire. In situ, un suivi de deux ans

Abstract:

En ville, les eaux pluviales sont collectées et dirigées vers des bassins d’infiltration. Elles amassent lors du ruissellement et du lessivage des sols et des toitures des polluants divers : hydrocarbures, matières organiques, métaux lourds. Ces particules accumulées à la surface des bassins d’infiltration forment une couche de sédiments urbains riches en polluants qui représentent une nouvelle niche écologique pour des bactéries pathogènes opportunistes. On retrouve des Actinobactéries pathogènes dont Nocardia cyriacigeorgica. Pour l’heure, les études réalisées sur cette espèce en terme de ph

Abstract:

The water quality in the United States has greatly improved since the implementation of the Clean Water Act (CWA) in the early 1970s. Unfortunately, the Clean Water Act only addresses one kind of water pollution, point source pollution. The major problem that is present in the degradation of todays water quality has to deal with nonpoint source pollution. Agriculture is commonly regarded as the leading contributor to nonpoint source pollution in the United States. This study uses two analytical tools to try to determine the significant factors in the transport of pollutants in the Lower Kentuc

Abstract:

This project addresses concerns from the Canadian public about the quality of water in regions where many agricultural operations are located. Fecal coliforms are endemic in poultry and are difficult to eradicate from production facilities. Poultry manure is a reservoir of Campylobacter jejuni, Escherichia coli (including O157:H7) and Salmonella spp. Biochar, the charcoal produced from pyrolysis of biomass, is gaining global recognition due to its unique properties when applied as a soil amendment. Biochar could play an important role in controlling the mobility of pathogens in soil and water

Abstract:

Bacterial water pollution is a significant problem because it is associated with reduction in the ‘quality’ of water systems with a potential impact on human health. Faecal indicator bacteria (FIB) are usually used to monitor the quality of water, and to indicate the presence of pathogens in water bodies. However, enumeration alone does not enable identification of the precise origin of these pathogens. This study aimed to monitor the quality of bathing water and associated fresh water in and out of the ‘bathing season’ in the UK, and to evaluate the use of microbial source tracking (MST) such

Abstract:

Ambient and recreational surface waters worldwide experience fecal pollution due to a variety of anthropogenic sources. Fecal waste has been proven, for over a century, to harbor pathogenic microorganisms which subsequently cause a variety of disease and illness in human hosts. The benefits of utilizing fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) as a simple, inexpensive means to detect fitful human pathogens within a variety of water matrices are vast. However, no universal agreement exists in regard to which indicator is best suited for detection of fecal contamination and pathogens in environmental wate

Abstract:

The savannas of southern Africa are a highly variable and globally-important biome supporting rapidly-expanding human populations, along with one of the greatest concentrations of wildlife on the continent. Savannas occupy a fifth of the earth's land surface, yet despite their ecological and economic significance, understanding of the complex couplings and feedbacks that drive spatiotemporal patterns of change are lacking. In Chapter 1 of my dissertation, I discuss some of the different theoretical frameworks used to understand complex and dynamic changes in savanna structure and composition.
