Full textL'identification des stocks et la quantification de leur contribution relative au recrutement sont des objectifs majeurs pour améliorer la gestion et la conservation des espèces marines exploitées. Le séquençage de nouvelle génération permet d’analyser des milliers de marqueurs génomiques et d’apporter la résolution nécessaire pour répondre à ces questions chez les espèces marines qui sont faiblement différenciées. Le Flétan du Groenland (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) est un poisson plat largement exploité, particulièrement dans le golfe du St-Laurent, au Canada. On y retrouve 2 nourriceries connues, dont la contribution des juvéniles au renouvellement des différents stocks adultes reste inconnue à ce jour. Les buts de ce projet sont de i) déterminer la structure des populations de flétan du Groenland du Saint-Laurent et ii) d’estimer la contribution des différents stocks reproducteurs identifiés aux différentes nourriceries. Pour ce faire, nous avons échantillonné 100 juvéniles par nourricerie et 50 adultes de sites s’étendant du fjord du Saguenay jusqu’au large de Terre-Neuve, avec quelques sites échantillonnés sur 2 années consécutives pour évaluer la stabilité temporelle de cette contribution. Nos résultats montrent qu’après avoir retiré les marqueurs liés au sexe, la région de l’Estuaire/Golfe du Saint-Laurent forme une population distincte de l’Atlantique près de Terre-Neuve (Fst = 0.00146, p-value = 0.001). Les analyses d’assignation populationnelle montrent que le recrutement dépend largement du stock du Saint-Laurent. Par ailleurs, on retrouve une contribution variable du stock de Terre-Neuve, variant de 1% pour la première année à 33% pour la deuxième, ce qui suggère un transport interannuel de larves variable selon la force des courants profonds. Cette étude sert de modèle pour l’identification des stocks pour les ressources halieutiques, dans un contexte où le milieu marin offre peu de barrières à la dispersion, en plus de démontrer l’importance des marqueurs liés au sexe et des répliques temporelles en génomique des populations.
The identification of stocks and quantifying their relative contribution to recruitment are major objectives toward improving the management and conservation of marine exploited species. Next-generation sequencing allows to analyze thousands of genomic markers which provide the resolution needed to address these questions in marine species with weakly differentiated populations. Greenland Halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) is one the most important exploited demersal species throughout the North Atlantic, and in particular in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada. There, two nurseries are known, the St. Lawrence Estuary and the northern Anticosti Island, but their contribution to the renewal of stocks remains unknown. The goals of this study were i) to document the genetic structure and ii) to estimate the contribution of the different identified breeding stocks to nurseries. We sampled 100 juveniles per nursery and 50 adults from seven sites ranging from Saguenay fjord to offshore Newfoundland, with some sites sampled over two consecutive years in order to evaluate the temporal stability of the contribution. Our results show that after removing of sex-linked markers, the Estuary/Gulf of St. Lawrence represent a stock which is genetically distinct from the Atlantic around Newfoundland (Fst = 0.00146, p-value = 0.001). Population assignment showed that recruitment in both nurseries is largely predominantly associated with the St. Lawrence stock. However, we found that the relative contribution of both stocks to the nurseries is temporally variable with 1% contribution of the Newfoundland stock one year but up to 33% for the second year, which may hypothetically be caused by year-to-year variation in larval transport into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. This study serves as a model for the identification of stocks for fisheries resources in a context where few barriers to dispersal occurs, in addition to demonstrating the importance of considering sex-linked markers and temporal replicates in studies of population genomics.

Full textSexually antagonistic selection results from divergent optimal values for a trait between sexes. When this phenotype is linked to a sexually shared genomic region, it gives birth to a conflict between males and females named intra-locus sexual conflict. In this case, a given allele will enhance female fitness but will diminish male fitness or vice-versa. During the last decades, research efforts allowed to discover such traits in several taxa. These observations stress the multiple consequences that this process can have from an evolutionary standpoint. However, fitness assessment is often missing in genomic studies focusing on sexual conflict. Therefore, there is a need to provide a better understanding of the consequences of intra-locus sexual conflict on individual fitness in nature. Filling this gap of knowledge will shed light on the potential role of sexually antagonistic selection on several evolutionary processes (e.g. the maintenance of genetic diversity in populations/species). The objective of our study was to link reproductive success measurements, used here as a proxy of fitness, with genomic data from a wild population of males and females. To do so, we studied a three-spine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) population from the St. Lawrence River. However, we had to face numerous obstacles in the acquisition of our samples. These complications led to major changes in the project progress and our attention finally focused on the reproduction’s dynamic of three spined stickleback in pounds First, we validated a visual method of identification for the juvenile sticklebacks by using a genetic approach to determine the species of the juveniles. We also used the otolith to assess the age of the potential parents. Then, we genotyped the potential parents and some juveniles of the year with several microsatellite markers to realize a parental assignation. The juveniles were sampled from ponds of the “Réserve nationale de l’Isle-Verte” during the reproductive period. We used parentage analysis of the juveniles sampled during the reproductive period with potentially reproductive adults from the same sampling sites. Our results suggest that adult reproduction and juvenile dispersal are largely affected by tides which represent important constraints for a rigorous estimation of reproductive success.

Full textSeveral autosomal dominant and recessive disorders have a high incidence in Saguenay lac-Saint-Jean, a region located in the northeastern part of the province of Quebec (Canada). This thesis presents the summary of the researches in demographic genetics conducted for the last seven years in this region. The complementary between (historical) demography and population genetics allows to explain the presence, the frequency and the diffusion of the hereditary disorders in the French-Canadian population. The use of molecular data adds a new dimension to the concepts of population genetics. Migration, consanguinity, kinship, endogamy and geographic distribution as well as the demographic consequences (fertility, mortality) of the hereditary disorders are especially analyzed. A model of diffusion of the hereditary disorders in Saguenay lac-Saint-Jean based on the demographic and genetic analyses is proposed

Full textThe objective of this Ph. D. Thesis is to characterise and quantify the effects of the dominant functional groups of the Macoma balthica community, maintained separately and in various combinations, on: i) biogeochemical fluxes at the sediment-water interface (oxygen, dissolved organic carbon, ammonium, nitrate, phosphate), ii) sediment mixing, and iii) bacterial communities. The functional groups of the M. Balthica community of the St Lawrence estuary (Quebec, Canada) were defined according their sediment mixing mode: two biodiffusers (M. Balthica and Mya arenaria) and one gallery-diffuser (Nereis virens) were studied. Experiments were performed in replicated microcosms with the functional groups being either isolated (allopatry) and combined (sympatry); control microcosms contained sediment but no macrofauna. All treatments were subjected to identical experimental conditions over the duration of the experiment (40 days). Microcosms contained similar biovolumes of organisms, these volumes being determined from natural densities. The space occupied by macro-invertebrates was thus similar in all treatments. The results clearly show that the biodiffusers and the gallery-diffuser, at similar biovolumes, have different effects on the stimulation of biogeochemical fluxes, on particle transport towards deeper layers, and on bacterial activity. The effects of the gallery-diffuser are highest and vary over time, due to the spatio-temporal dynamic of biogenic structures and irrigation activities, and to different maximal burrowing depths. The different burrowing depths of the two biodiffusers also explain the observed intra-functional variation in nitrate and ammonium fluxes, and in bacterial activity. The combination of both functional groups (gallery-diffuser+biodiffusers) has important effects on measured parameters, the latter often being higher than would be predicted based on additive effects. Positive spatial interactions between the two functional groups explain these effects. The interactions between functional groups, which essentially act on nitrate, phosphate, ammonium and oxygen fluxes, suggest that, at similar biovolumes, the burrowing depth of each functional group and the spatial organisation of these groups are key factors in the stimulation of sedimentary biogeochemical processes. The results obtained are directly comparable due to the use of similar biovolumes, and thus validate the functional approach for the study of bioturbation and its effects on biogeochemical fluxes, sediment mixing and bacterial communities. Further research is proposed to (i) develop the functional approach for studies based only on solute exchange at the sediment-water interface, (ii) refine the notion of biovolume, and (iii) examine in more detail the effects of relationships between functional groups within a benthic community on coastal sediment functioning

Full textThe Saint-Roch district of Quebec City is marked by a process of revitalization, a societal mix,and diverse social challenges. This qualitative research aims to explore and understand a local intervention which is deployed there and aims to improve cohabitation between the various social groups. This is the job of the agent.e de mixité. This thesis aims to answer the following research question : How is the function of the agent.e de mixité negotiated at the intersection of the perceptions of social actors concerned by the challenges brought about by the context of revitalization of the Saint-Roch district and their expectations for this function? The theoretical framework of the research is based on constructivism and is more precisely inscribed in symbolic interactionism. Data collection was carried out with seven participants from five social groups: citizens, citizens living in poverty, community workers, traders, and workers in an institution. The results allow us to understand their perceptions of the challenges present in the context of revitalization and social mix of the district such as cohabitation, gentrification, marginalization, and judiciarisation. It also allows understanding of their expectations regarding the function, position, and skills of the agent.e de mixité. Subsequently, the results of these individual interviews were presented to a group of 12 people involved with the Projet Vie de parvis. The discussions during this meeting shed light on the dimensions of the function of the agent.e de mixité which are negotiated at the intersection of these different expectations and perceptions such as temporality, outlines, scope, and extent of function. All content has been compiled and analyzed using Dedoose.

Full textArchaeobotanical and archaeoentomological analyses were conducted on soil samples taken from an early 19th century privy found at the îlot des Palaissite (CeEt-30) in Quebec City. The insect and seed remains identified inform us about the consumption habits and the daily lives of the city’s inhabitants, during a period of great political, economic and social changes. In fact, the early 1800’s were marked by a population increase, the arrival of a large number of Anglophone immigrants and an accelerated development of the shipbuilding industry. We argue that despite the implementation of new trade networks and culinary traditions, a part of the French Canadian foodways remained relatively unchanged. Thanks to this research, we now have a better understanding of the impact the first decades of the British rule have had over New France’s old capital and the daily lives of its inhabitants.

Full textSpatial differences in environmental conditions can lead to plastic physiological responses in many organisms. Yet stable but divergent environmental conditions over multiple generations can produce intrinsic local differences in an organism’s physiology. The goal of this research is to determine whether a contiguous population of adult zebra and quagga mussel (Dreissena polymorpha and D. bugensis) in a stable mosaic of environmental constraints has developed divergent traits and if so are they plastic or irreversible adjustments. Comparison among contrasting St. Lawrence River water-masses found population differentiation in condition (tissue glycogen content, RNA/DNA ratio of tissue as well as shell strength and mass. Though the soft tissue responses of zebra and quagga mussels were similar, the lighter shell of the quagga mussels appears to be an advantage where the two species co-occur. Field sampling and laboratory experiments show that the downstream distribution of zebra mussels is constrained by the tidal intrusion of salinity, but counter-intuitively that the animals at this limit were actually in better condition than those upriver. To explore whether the observed population differentiation represents plasticity or alternatively intrinsic local differentiation, reciprocal transplants of adult mussels from the fluvial estuary and the Great Lakes water masses were conducted. Results indicate that shell growth depends on source population, independent of the environment (river source mussels > estuary source mussels). In contrast, RNA/DNA ratio, a short-term measure of tissue condition and growth, was significantly higher for estuary mussels. In the riverine environment where they coexist, quagga mussels grew faster than zebra mussels, supporting observations that they are displacing zebra mussels throughout the Great Lakes – St. Lawrence system. Yet quagga mussels did not perform as well in the estuarine environment suggesting that their influence will be limited to the strictly freshwater unless they can adjust physiologically as zebra mussels did. Comparisons of shell growth between summer and winter transplants indicated that summer is more productive and that quagga mussels grow faster than zebra mussels. Yet the summer growth rates of the two species measured at the same site in consecutive years reversed, indicating both spatial and temporal components to growth and production.

Full textConnectivity of marine populations represents a key element of metapopulation demography, as it links local populations. For marine invertebrates with a bentho-pelagic life cycle, connectivity occurs during the dispersive larval stage, which is primarily driven by marine currents. The main objective of this study was to show the variability of connectivity within marine metapopulations, especially for Mytilus spp. populations in the St. Lawrence maritime estuary. The secondary objective was to further analyse the spatiotemporal variations of settlement and recruitment in this system, since these processes are essential for connectivity. (1) Different methods to assess the variability of connectivity are described, as well as their applicability to different systems. Following a description of the main factors influencing connectivity, the drivers of variability and their implications for marine metapopulations and biodiversity management are discussed. (2) In addition, field studies were conducted and revealed seasonal and inter-annual variability of Mytilus spp. settlement in the boreal St. Lawrence marine ecosystem. These observations showed that settlement, following the initial larval dispersal phase (i.e. large spatial scale), occurred during one or two short periods of time (1 to 2 weeks) during the reproductive season. Moreover, there was also evidence for a secondary post-metamorphic settlement phase (juneniles) that extended over the entire reproductive season and represented a major part of the total settlement, particularly during weeks following primary larval settlement events and storms. (3) Finally, a geostatistic method, based on the relationship between adult biomass and recruitment in different local populations, identified homogeneous demographic coupling at scales from 12-24 km over a five year study, in the direction of the main current. Overall, this study empirically confirms the importance of variations in adult biomass, settlement, and recruitment in determining the variability of connectivity in marine metapopulations and supports theoretical studies considering such fluctuations.

Full textAs a population consisting mainly of immigrants, the Protestants buried in Saint-Matthew’s cemetery, Quebec City (1771-1860) during the 19th century had to adapt to a new environment, and therefore new resources, when they first settled in Quebec. On the other hand, the 18th and 19th centuries saw important socio-economic changes with the coming of the Industrial Revolution, and Quebec City, with its important port, was at the heart of those changes. The objective of this study is to evaluate if the stable isotope geochemistry of several materials of the human skeleton (bone collagen, bone apatite, dentinal collagen and enamel carbonate) can help us understand how dietary behaviours have evolved throughout the life of some individuals (n=40) buried in this cemetery. As diet is closely related to socio-economic, cultural and environmental conditions, it can inform us about individual adaptation and identity through a person’s lifespan. It is in this cultural ecology perspective that we approached this research and the data previously obtained by Morland (2009) and Caron (2013). Our data corroborate those acquired previously on bone collagen by showing that these individuals maintained a European-style diet, and originated mainly from the British Isles. They also show a significant increase in C4 plant (maize, sugarcane, etc.) consumption through adulthood amongst 36 of the 40 individuals that we analyzed, as well as a decrease of protein intake. Our results also indicate a generalized tendency to keep the same dietary profile in the population through life, even if practices became less variable during adulthood. Finally, dietary behaviors show similarites with Irish and poor British populations of the same period for childhood, where as they look more like populations from the St. Lawrence Valley later in life, particularly for protein intake. Therefore, our results suggest important dietary shifts for the individuals we studied, possibly strongly related to their migration process and adaptative response to a new environment.

Full textNinety-five human skeletons from archaeological excavations at the protestant Saint-Matthew burial ground (Quebec City, 1771-1860) were studied with respect to two major aspects of palaeonutrition: palaeochemistry and palaeopathology. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between nutrition and health in this preindustrial population. Direct information on the types of food consumed was obtained from stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses of bone collagen, and indirect information was acquired by quantifying health status. Palaeopathological methods used are the “health index” method (Steckel et al.,2002) for interpopulational comparison, and then quantifications using more precise severity degrees for assessing intrapopulational variation. Data analysis revealed a relatively bad health status compared to other contemporary North-American groups despite a relatively similar nutrition. Food differences in relation to palaeodemographical data (age, sex) were noted, in particular about the variability of weaning process achievement. Furthermore, a diet depleted in C4 (corn, sugarcane) and in animal resources (meat, fish, dairy products) was noted for children between two and seven years old in comparison to older individuals. Finally, a possible relationship between pathologies severity (cribra orbitalia, periostitis) and the consumption of C4 and/or marine resources and animal products rich in protein was highlighted while comparing all the data.

Full textTwo colonisation events occurred in Quebec, from 1608 to 1763 (New France), and after 1763 (British Regime), providing new waves of immigrants. In order to examine differences and similarities between the latter waves and the possible interactions between the immigrants and the local communities already living on the territory, dental morphology, which allows us to propose paleogenetic interpretations on the ancestry of past populations, has been analysed for the following two groups: 37 individuals from the cemetery of the Première Église Notre-Dame in Montreal (1691-1796); and 61 individuals from the cemetery of Saint-Matthew in Quebec City (1771-1860). We used the Arizona State University’s -Dental Anthropology System protocol for the observation of dental traits. Mean measures of divergence and population heterogeneity analysis (R Matrix and Fst modified for non-metric data) were calculated. Biodistance values confirm that the majority of the analysed individuals from both collections were of European ancestry. However, intra-population analysis was able to identify certain individuals who were closer to Native American variation. Furthermore, results of R matrix and Fst tests showed that Notre-Dame sample was slightly more heterogeneous. It seemed to have incorporated more of a Native American component than Saint-Matthew, probably through admixture, which was a consequence of the assimilation of “Christianised” Native Americans within the early colonial society. Therefore, although our results are preliminary, interactions between Europeans and local groups seem to have changed through time as a result of colonisation. The higher levels of admixture in the 18th century Montreal (in comparison to the 19th century Quebec City) might reflect a rather urgent need from the first European migrants to set up alliances with Native Americans for the long-term viability of the colony.
