▼ Les virus foamy simiens (VFS) sont la troisième famille des rétrovirus complexes exogènes infectant l'Homme. Ces virus, zoonotique, sont transmis par des fluides biologiques (principalement la salive), lors d'un contact direct entre un individu et un singe infecté. Ils établissent une infection chronique chez l'hôte infecté. À ce jour, aucune pathologie n'a été associée à au cas d'infections humaines par le VFS, et aucun cas de transmission secondaire n'a été rapporté dans la population. L'infection VFS représente un modèle naturel de la restriction de l'émergence d'un rétrovirus simien chez l'Homme. Lors de ma thèse, j'ai caractérisé la réponse humorale contre les VFS chez des personnes vivant au Cameroun ou au Gal infectées suite à des morsures lors d'épisodes de chasse. J'ai montré la présence d'anticorps neutralisants les VFS dans 48 sujets infectés, à des titres élevés. La population étudiée est infectée par des virus de deux génotypes qui diffèrent dans le domaine central de la protéine impliqué dans la liaison au récepteur cellulaire. J'ai montré des réponses neutralisantes spécifiques de chaque génotype des sujets étudiés et des réactivités croisées chez 40% d'entre-eux. Parmi ces derniers, la moitié est infectée par deux souches virales. En conclusion, mon travail de thèse est la première caractérisation des anticorps neutralisants chez des personnes infectées chroniquement par un VFS zoonotique : ces anticorps sont fréquemment détectés, à des titres élevés et sont dirigés contre des épitopes conservés entre les VFS de chimpanzé et de gorille.
Simian foamy virus (SFV) are the third family of exogenous complex retroviruses infecting humans. These viruses, of origins, are transmitted by body fluids (mainly saliva), through a direct contact between an individual and an infected m establish a chronic infection in the infected human host. To date, neither pathology, nor secondary transmission has be to be associated with SFV infection in humans. Therefore, SFV represents a natural model of restriction emerging simiar in humans. During my PhD, I characterized the humoral response against SFV in people living in Cameroon and Gabon, mainly infected bites during hunting episodes. I showed the presence of SFV neutralizing antibodies in the plasma of 48 infected individ titers. Our study population is infected with viruses of 2 different genotypes, which differ in the central region of the En region involved in binding to the cellular receptor.While in 60% of cases, neutralizing response was specific to a single genotype, 40% of cases showed cross-reactivity. Cr( was associated in 50% of cases with co-infection with viruses from both genotypes.In conclusion, my PhD is the first study to characterize neutralizing antibodies in individuals chronically infected with a zoonotic SFV : these antibodies are frequently detected at high titers and are directed against epitopes commonly found in chimpanzee and gorilla SFV.

▼ Contrary to what many scholars hold, a case can be made for human population reduction (the practice of artificially decreasing the number of human beings on the Earth). Robin Attfield's, Paul Taylor's, Arne Næss's and J. Baird Callicott's theories are considered for justifying human population reduction; however, only Næss's actually justifies reduction. Another argument for human population reduction is developed, based on rectification: humans have unjustly harmed other living entities and themselves, and they should provide rectification for the harm done. Human population reduction is a way in which this rectification can be given.

▼ Ambient air sampling campaigns were carried out in Windsor, Ontario, Canada as well as in Detroit, Michigan, USA and Sarnia, Ontario over a five year period. Sampling campaigns were for two-week periods in each of the four seasons of 2004-2006 in Windsor, fall 2005 in Sarnia and fall (2008) and spring (2009) for Windsor - Detroit. In Windsor, analyses of the benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX)
species for 2004, 2005, and 2006 is reported in this thesis along with BTEX for Sarnia in 2005. Across the international airshed encompassing Windsor and Detroit, simultaneous sampling of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter (PM), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and BTEX is reported for 2008 and 2009. Temporal and spatial patterns of concentrations, ratios and correlations among pollutants, as well as the effects of sampler placement, wind patterns and transboundary pollution were studied. Windsor experienced similar concentrations compared with Sarnia and lower concentrations than Detroit. Correlation and
inter-specie BTEX ratio analysis identified traffic as the common source of VOCs, BTEX, and NO 2 in Windsor and Detroit. An innovative approach was applied in Sarnia using BTEX concentrations and ratios to characterize mixtures of industrial and mobile sources in different areas of the city. Temporal and spatial variability was observed. Seasonal comparisons to annual concentrations and spatial patterns indicate that if resources are limited, fall would be preferred to conduct air quality campaigns in Windsor. The locations of hot spots in Windsor were not qualitatively associated with wind patterns during the sampling periods. Additionally there was a lack of association between air mass pathways and measured NO 2 and PM 2.5 concentrations in Windsor. Comparisons between concentrations obtained from the sampling campaigns and those from central monitoring stations indicate that these stations are adequate for representing citywide averages. For residential exposure assessment however, these could result in misclassification up to a factor of six. Risk maps demonstrate BTEX exposure risk across Windsor. Study design recommendations were made for future air quality campaigns. These include sampling frequency, density, and placement, exposure misclassification associated with central site measurements, and for identifying sources for pollutant reduction initiatives.

▼ O desenvolvimento embrionÃrio depende da adequada interaÃÃo nucleo-citoplasmÃtica, o que à influenciado pelo tipo de cÃlula doadora e pela qualidade do oÃcito receptor na clonagem, assim como por caracterÃsticas dos espermatozÃides e oÃcitos na fecundaÃÃo in vitro (FIV). O primeiro estudo foi constituÃdo de dois experimentos. O primeiro experimento avaliou o tipo de cÃlula doadora de nÃcleo (cÃlulas fibroblÃsticas - FIB vs. cÃlulas mesenquimais derivadas de adipÃcitos - ADMSC), com diferentes citoplastos receptores (suÃno â reconstruÃdo com dois hemi-citoplasto suÃnos; mosaico â reconstruÃdo com um citoplasto suÃno e um citoplasto bovino; bovino â reconstruÃdo com dois hemi-citoplastos bovinos), no desenvolvimento de embriÃes suÃnos, clonados por transferÃncia nuclear de cÃlulas somÃticas (TNCS). Os cultivos celulares foram estabelecidos a partir de dois suÃnos de raÃas ameaÃadas de extinÃÃo (casco de mula e moura), sendo os embriÃes reconstruÃdos por clonagem manual e cultivados in vitro por 7 dias, em meio PZM-3. Os grupos mosaico e bovino apresentaram produÃÃo embrionÃria menor que o grupo suÃno (5,5; 1,9 e 18,0%, respectivamente). O grupo ADMSC-mosaico do animal moura apresentou produÃÃo embrionÃria intermediaria em relaÃÃo ao controle e ao bovino, e superior ao grupo FIB-mosaico do mesmo animal. A porcentagem de blastÃmeros fragmentados em embriÃes clivados e mÃrulas foi superior nos grupos mosaico e bovino, em relaÃÃo ao grupo suÃno. A dinÃmica de fusÃo, observada conforme a migraÃÃo mitocondrial entre os citoplastos, foi diferente em funÃÃo do citoplasto empregado. No segundo experimento foi investigado o efeito do inibidor de desacetilases âScriptaidâ no desenvolvimento embrionÃrio in vitro dos grupos suÃno, mosaico e bovino, utilizando-se cÃlulas fibroblastos do animal moura. Os embriÃes reconstruÃdos foram expostos a 500 nM de Scriptaid por 12 h, iniciando a partir da ativaÃÃo, sendo entÃo cultivados em PZM-3 por 7 dias. A taxa de produÃÃo de blastocistos do grupo controle (9,2 vs. 17,3%) e mosaico (1,0 vs. 9,2%) aumentou com o uso de Scriptaid (p <0,05), enquanto a proporÃÃo de fragmentos em mÃrulas reduziu no grupo mosaico (9,8 vs. 2,8%) (p <0,05). No entanto, o uso de Scriptaid nÃo aumentou a produÃÃo embrionÃria no grupo bovino. No segundo estudo, constituÃdo de trÃs experimentos, avaliou-se a influÃncia de distintas qualidades de gametas na produÃÃo embrionÃria por FIV, em bovinos. Nos experimentos 1 e 3, foram avaliadas as taxas de produÃÃo embrionÃria no sÃtimo dia de cultivo. No experimento 2, dois touros de comprovada eficiÃncia na produÃÃo embrionÃria in vivtro, foram utilizados na FIV de oÃcitos de qualidade boa e ruim. O touro 1 nÃo mostrou diferenÃa na produÃÃo embrionÃria com oÃcitos de qualidade boa (19,8%) ou ruim (12,7%). O touro 2 apresentou maior produÃÃo embrionÃria com oÃcitos bons (25,7%) do que com oÃcitos ruins (9,2%). No experimento 2, a capacidade penetrante dos dois touros foi avaliada em oÃcitos de qualidade ruim atravÃs da tÃcnica de injeÃÃo espermÃtica sub-zonal. A taxa de…

▼ La capacité du virus de la grippe aviaire à traverser la barrière des espèces et à devenir fortement pathogène chez les mammifères est un problème majeur de santé publique. Chez les oiseaux, la réplication a lieu dans l'intestin, à 4C, tandis que chez les humains elle a lieu dans l'appareil respiratoire, plus froid, à 33C. Il a été montré que l'adaptation à la température du virus de la grippe a lieu par de nombreuses mutations de la polymérase virale, notamment dans le domaine 627-NLS situé en C-terminal de la protéine PB2. Ce domaine est impliqué dans l'adaptation à l'hôte et interagit avec la protéine de l'hôte, importine alpha, étant donc indispensable pour l'entrée de la polymérase virale dans le noyau de la cellule [Tarendeau et al., 2008]. Les structures cristallographiques du 627-NLS et du complexe importine alpha/NLS existent. Cependant, lors de la superposition de ces structures via leur domaine NLS commun, un important choc stérique entre le domaine 627 et l'importine alpha devient évident. Ceci indique qu'une autre conformation du 627-NLS est requise pour l'interaction avec l'importine alpha [Boivin and Hart, 2011]. Dans cette étude, nous avons examiné les bases moléculaires de l'adaptation inter-espèces du virus à travers l'étude de la structure et de la dynamique du 627-NLS aviaire et humain. Nous avons identifié deux conformations du 627-NLS en échange lent (10-100 s-1), correspondant apparemment à une conformation ouverte et une conformation fermée des deux domaines. Nous proposons que la conformation ouverte du 627-NLS est la seule conformation compatible avec l'interaction avec l'importine alpha, et que l'équilibre entre conformation ouverte et fermée pourrait jouer le rôle de thermostat moléculaire, contrôlant l'efficacité de la réplication virale chez différents hôtes. La cinétique et la dynamique de ce comportement conformationnel important ainsi que de l'interaction entre le 627-NLS et l'importine alpha ont été caractérisées par résonance magnétique nucléaire (déplacements chimique, augmentation paramagnétique de la relaxation, relaxation de spin, transfert de saturation par l'échange chimique), combinée à la diffusion des rayons X et des neutrons aux petits angles ainsi qu'au transfert d'énergie par résonance de type Förster. Aussi, nous avons déterminé les affinités d'une série de mutants évolutifs du 627-NLS pour l'importine alpha et du 627-NLS aviaire ou humain pour différents isoformes de l'importine alpha, montrant que les affinités observées sont cohérentes avec les préférences d'interactions vues in vivo.
The ability of avian influenza viruses to cross the species barrier and become dangerously pathogenic to mammalian hosts represents a major threat for human health. In birds the viral replication is carried out in the intestine at 40°C, while in humans it occurs in the cooler respiratory tract at 33°C. It has been shown that temperature adaption of the influenza virus occurs through numerous mutations in the viral polymerase, in particular in the C-terminal domain 627-NLS of the PB2…

▼ Inter-specific associations of birds are complex social phenomena, frequently detected and often stable over time and space. So far, the social structure of these associations has been largely deduced from subjective assessments in the field or by counting the number of inter-specific encounters at the whole-group level, without considering changes to individual pairwise interactions. Here, we look for evidence of non-random association between pairs of bird species, delimit groups of more strongly associated species and examine differences in social structure between old growth and secondary forest habitat. We used records of bird species detection from mist-netting capture and from acoustic recordings to identify pairwise associations that were detected more frequently than expected under a null distribution, and compared the strength of these associations between old-growth and secondary forest Amazonian tropical forest. We also used the pairwise strength associations to visualize the social network structure and its changes between habitat types. We found many strongly positive interactions between species, but no evidence of repulsion. Network analyses revealed several modules of species that broadly agree with the subjective groupings described in the ornithological literature. Furthermore, both network structure and association strength changed drastically with habitat disturbance, with the formation of a few new associations but a general trend towards the breaking of associations between species. Our results show that social grouping in birds is real and may be strongly affected by habitat degradation, suggesting that the stability of the associations is threatened by anthropogenic disturbance.
Os bandos mistos de aves são agregações sociais complexas estáveis durante o tempo e espaço. Até hoje, a estrutura social dessas espécies foi descrita a partir de estudos subjetivos de campo ou a partir de compilações do número e intensidade das interações a nível de todo o grupo, sem considerar as interações par-a-par individualmente. Nossos objetivos foram buscar evidências de associações não-randômicas entre pares de espécies de aves, delimitar os grupos a partir das espécies com as associações mais fortes e verificar se há diferenças na estrutura social entre os habitat de floresta primária e secundária. Utilizamos dados de ocorrência das espécies coletados a partir de redes de neblina e gravação de vocalizações para identificar pares de espécies que foram co-detectadas mais frequentemente do que o esperado a partir do modelo nulo e compararamos a força dessa interação entre as florestas tropicais primária e secundária Amazônicas. Nós também utilizamos as associações par-a-par para construir as redes de interação social e suas mudanças entre os tipos de habitat. Nós encontramos muitas interações positivas fortes entre as espécies, mas nenhuma evidência de repulsão. As análises das redes de interação revelaram vários grupos de espécies que corroboram com grupos ecológios descritos na literatura. Além disso,…

▼ Our understanding of how species will respond to global change is still limited. Species distribution models (SDMs) are used to generate hypotheses regarding the potential distributions of species under different environmental conditions. However, that species observations and climatic variables are not measured at the same spatial and temporal resolution still hinders our ability to forecast species range shifts and expansions in response to global change. One of the possible consequences of this data mismatch is the observed discrepancy between realized climate niches in species' native and invasive ranges. In the first chapter of my dissertation, I address this issue by evaluating niche similarity between native and invaded ranges for 10 species using a combination of monthly and inter-annual climatic variability data. My results suggest that some species' ranges may be constrained by one aspect of climatic variability in the native range but a different one in the invaded range. A second issue, also a consequence of the spatio-temporal mismatch, is that weather station data are often spatially interpolated to match the species observations without any uncertainty assessment. The second chapter evaluates and quantifies the effects of three complementary aspects of uncertainty present in weather station data interpolations. I examine the influence of topographic heterogeneity, interannual climatic variability, and distance to weather station on SDM performance for 20 well observed North American breeding birds, and show that topographic heterogeneity has the highest contribution to omission errors, or false absences. A third consequence of the spatio-temporal data mismatch is the inability of global simulations to capture local manifestations of climate change. This inability can limit the capacity of SDMs to produce accurate simulations for species whose distributions depend on small-scale climate phenomena. While changes in global climatic patterns are projected using global climate model (GCM) simulations, local climatic trends are not always well represented by GCMs, or by simple downscaled projections derived from GCMs. In the final chapter of my dissertation, I use interpolated, fine-scale historic climate records in a novel approach to estimate the sensitivity of SDM's to locally coherent changes in temperature and precipitation at larger scales, using coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) as an example. Overall, the results of this thesis confirm the importance of establishing an appropriate relational basis in time and space between species and climatic observations. Historical collection records should be thoroughly analyzed and integrated with historical climatic time series to gain a better understanding of species' response to climate variability in the past, thereby informing the selection of appropriate spatio-temporal scales of climate variability for projections under present and future conditions.

▼ The invasive Argentine ant, Linepithema humile, is known to form a trophobiotic association with honeydew excreting homopterans Pseudococcus sp. providing protection from natural enemies in exchange for the honeydew they excrete. The vine mealybug Pseudococcus calceolariae, can transmit Grapevine leafroll- associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3) between vines as it travels and feeds with the ensuing leafroll disease negatively impacting on vine health and wine quality. Therefore, if an effective chemical control method targeting incursions of Argentine ants in vineyards contributes to the dissociation of this invasive ant
species with its citrophilus mealybug mutualist, then in theory the spread of GLRaV-3 in vineyards by its mealybug vector can be stemmed. Three insecticidal treatments targeting Argentine ants in the canopy of potted Pinot Noir grapevines inoculated with citrophilus mealybugs were trialled at a field site established in Nelson during the summer of 2016/2017. Bifenthrin (1200ppm) was sprayed on vine trunks and the low- toxicity baits, thiamethoxam (0.0006%) or boric acid (0.5%) carried in polyacrylamide gel with 25% sucrose and 0.15% citric acid solution, were placed at the base of vines. A significant decline in ant activity (p < 0.001) and citrophilus mealybugs was observed for the bifenthrin treatment. A follow-on bioassay was conducted at Mt. Albert Plant and Food Research, in the absence of P. calceolariae’s natural enemies to test the hypothesis that the decline in citrophilus mealybugs in response to vines treated with bifenthrin, could in fact be due to
inter-
species horizontal toxicity because of Argentine ants transferring the toxicant bifenthrin to citrophilus mealybugs while tending them or contaminating the substrate that they fed on. The significant decrease in average citrophilus mealybug activity rate (p < 0.001) for bifenthrin treatments compared with the controls provides evidence for
inter-
species horizontal toxicity. Bifenthrin sprayed on grapevine trunks may be suitable to control Argentine ants in the vine canopy and indirectly control P. calceolariae, a known vector of GLRaV-3 between grapevine hosts. The concept of
inter-
species horizontal toxicity could become a model for targeted pest management by exploiting different insect mutualisms in various horticultural cropping systems.

▼ This thesis asks how and why a serendipitous and spontaneous personal encounter with a being from another
species created an ongoing bond. Through the lens of three intersecting disciplines: environmental studies, animal behaviour and health science, I explore how the horse, over time, has gone from warrior and labourer to serving humans as teacher and therapist.
Much of the existing literature extols the benefits of human-animal interaction (HAI), reinforcing an intuitive instinct that animals are good for humans. However researchers still cannot explain the mechanisms through which these benefits are delivered.
This study examines the correlation between horse and human heart rates recorded on portable activity trackers during equine assisted learning sessions. We found no correlation of heart rate variability between humans and horses. With little available empirical evidence and mixed outcomes, researchers are unable to make conclusive statements about the beneficial effects of HAI in the long term.

Movements and activity patterns of luderick (Girella tricuspidata) : drivers and spatial scales.

▼ A thorough knowledge of fish movements and the factors influencing them is essential to understanding the ecology of a species, and underpins effective management actions and planning. This thesis aims to understand the movement patterns of the temperate fish species luderick (Girella tricuspidata), which inhabits estuaries and near coastal shallow rocky reefs of New South Wales (NSW; SE Australia) and is of high commercial and recreational fishing interest. Although the biology and ecology of this primarily herbivorous teleost fish are already documented, movements and their drivers are poorly known.
I used acoustic telemetry to address different aspects of the movements of mature luderick at various spatio-temporal scales. Using an extensive collaborative network of acoustic receivers spread along the NSW coast and in selected estuaries, I identified that large freshwater inflows resulting from heavy rainfalls were the main drivers of luderick estuarine movements: (i) they triggered fish departure from the systems and coastal migrations; (i) these events and associated changes in conductivity drove movements along estuaries; (i) and luderick decreased swimming activity and shifted in depth during high flow events.
Tagged luderick detected outside their tagging estuary (13 out 61 individuals) migrated predominantly in a northward direction, suggesting spawning migrations. Luderick travelled up to 492 km, and at speeds exceeding 57 km d-1. This swimming velocity corresponds to the optimal metabolic speed estimated in laboratory experiments. Migrating luderick could visit multiple estuaries, and individuals from different estuaries converged to similar coastal areas, providing further understanding of luderick estuarine connectivity. Partial population migration may explain the inter-individual variability in estuarine residency and large-scale movements of luderick. This behaviour may provide further resilience to harvesting and changing environments.
Strong diel and sub-diel rhythms in activity were found, with luderick being more active during the day compared to the night. Luderick field metabolic rates increased from dawn and throughout the day, until they declined after dusk, which could be related to diurnal foraging activity and nocturnal sheltering behaviour.
Swimming activity decreased with temperature, and while effects of seasonality could not be fully addressed in this study, it is predicted that movement patterns of luderick would vary across seasons and years, driven by fluctuations in temperatures and rainfall regimes.
This thesis provides an understanding of luderick movement patterns and their drivers, and shows that luderick respond to changing environment by adopting a range of behavioural responses. These findings will improve the management of this species and its fishery.

▼ Simultaneously managing multiple pest species within one control operation is the most beneficial way to effectively manage New Zealand’s introduced mammalian pest species. Multi-species pest control can reduce multiple species and therefore is more cost-effective; less toxins are applied to the environment and there is reduced risk of meso-predator release. There are two main elements required for the success of a multi-species operation; an adequate multi-species control system and a multi-species monitoring system to provide accurate population estimates. This thesis describes two new tools (camera trapping and multispecies bait) for the simultaneous control and monitoring of possums, rats and mice.
Camera traps have been used internationally to monitor rare and cryptic species in the wild and their potential as a monitoring device and to provide answers to applied questions involving activity at bait stations was investigated in this thesis. Camera traps are especially useful for monitoring nocturnal behaviour although there was concern that white flash cameras may negatively affect behaviour providing results that do not truly represent species activity. Bait station activities of possums, rats and mice were compared at two camera trap types; infrared flash and white flash, to determine if white flash negatively influenced behaviour. Possums, rats and mice were not negatively affected by white flash cameras compared to infrared and may actually be attracted to the white flash cameras (P=0.437, P=0.285, P=0.928). The lack of significance indicated that white flash cameras could be used for behavioural and monitoring studies without affecting behaviour.
Little is known about the interactions between pest species at bait stations and how these interactions may influence the success of multi-species control. Camera traps were used to monitor interspecies interactions at bait stations that may influence the success of multi-species control operations. Rats were reduced in an area to investigate the influence they may have on mouse activity at bait stations. A control block was left with both rats and mice present. Camera traps were used to determine the activity of mice at bait stations before, two weeks and four months after an intensive rat trapping operation. Mouse activity increased significantly in the absence of rats, particularly at night, the time when rats were most active before they were removed (P=0.027). In the control block (with rats present) there was a significantly lower level of mouse activity at bait stations, indicating that rat presence lowers mouse activity at bait stations. Interspecies interactions between rats and mice may reduce the success of multi-species pest control operations where rats and mice are the target species.
White flash cameras were able to produce high resolution colour images at night which had potential to identify individuals for capture-recapture population estimates. Possums were used as an example species and a method was developed and tested to…

▼ Successful architecture is an engagement of space that fosters learning and growth. It is the space in which we are drawn away from the distractions around us, allowing us to focus on the present. It offers the opportunity to not only learn and grow relationships, but also to rehabilitate broken and fractured ones. Through this learning and growth, we become better understanding and loving toward each other. Thus, architecture stands as a true mediator of the relationships that exist around the world. Architecture is not exclusive toward human to human engagement. Architecture can extend beyond the understanding of human and engage many
species such as canines. This thesis proposes to investigate a cross-
species architecture serving to rehabilitate broken and fractured interspecies relationships. Focusing on one of the strongest human-interspecies relationships to exist, this thesis will conduct research-based design on the human and dog relationship. Although the human and dog relationship are one of the stronger cross-
species relationships, there remains complex and fractured components. For example, in many aspects across homeless and stray dogs, the human and dog relationship has vii become one that is extremely broken and fractured. This thesis proposes to take an in depth look at the historical context and the present human-canine relationship and understanding how architecture can be used to grow the relationship. In allowing cross-
species architecture to act the mediator in rehabilitating the fractured components of the human and dog relationship, the level of learning and growth within the human and dog relationship can reach new heights.

▼ The question of animals and performance defines the crossroads of the academic fields of Critical Animals Studies and Performance Studies, giving rise to the proposition of
inter-
species performance. But are all performances that integrate animals into the production
inter-
species? Or are there different manners of collaboration? In 2008 and my horse, Katrina, and I rode across Canada. Though this event was not undertaken as a performance endeavour, the production that emerged can be understood as a uniquely collaborative human/equine performance – The Ride. The Ride presented a meeting through the middle of an
inter-
species partnership that was performance in its foundation of physical communication and learned cooperation between a human and a horse. The Ride was an event that “became” a performance due to its active, reciprocal human/equine exchange, and the experiential interaction of a host of audience/participators throughout the course of the journey. Through embracing the positive, expansive qualities of equine alterity, and recognizing both the human and equine perspectives at play within the event, The Ride presented a performance that was fundamentally
inter-
species.

▼ Depuis la découverte du virus de l'Immunodéficience humaine, un lentivirus, comme agent pathogène responsable de l'épidémie du SIDA en 1983, beaucoup de progrès sur le sujet ont été réalisés. Il existe deux types de virus différents pouvant infecter l'Homme, le HIV-1 et le HIV-2. Ces deux virus se regroupent en différents groupes et sous-types qui témoignent d'une grande diversité
inter et intra individus (notions de quasi-espèces). La découverte de lentivirus infectant naturellement au moins quarante-cinq espèces de primates en Afrique sub-saharienne, a permis un enrichissement des connaissances sur les origines des épidémies lentivirales humaines. Aujourd'hui , il est clairement admis que l'origine des épidémies d'HIV-1 et HIV-2 sont le résultat de transmissions zoonotiques de virus de chimpanzés/gorilles et de mangabeys enfumées, respectivement. La mise en évidence de nombreux SIV circulant chez ces primates non-humains indique bien le risque potentiel de nouvelles zoonoses dans la population humaine exposée, cependant, il peut paraître surprenant que jusqu'à maintenant, deux lignées lentivirales seulement ont été capables de franchir cette barrière d'espèce. Pour pouvoir se répliquer dans les cellules d'un nouvel hôte, un lentivirus doit pouvoir contrecarrer les différents facteurs de restriction exprimés par les cellules cibles tout en exploitant au maximum la machinerie cellulaire. La famille de protéines TRIM5, APOBEC3 et les protéines Tetherin/Bst2 et SAMHD1 sont capables de bloquer une infection rétrovirale. Dans ce travail, le rôle des protéines TRIM5 a été étudié ainsi que celui d'autres protéines interagissant avec des capsides rétrovirales, dans un contexte de transmission
inter-espèces de lentivirus de primates. L'étude de TRIM5α humain a montré que cette protéine n'était capable de bloquer aucune des infections par les lentivirus primates testés dans cette étude, ni par les autres SIV. Nous avons pu mettre en évidence que la dépendance de la liaison à la Cyclophiline A pour l'infection des différents SIV était variable en fonction de la capside testée. Ainsi, si cette interaction est largement répandue parmi les différentes lignées de SIV, elle n'est toutefois pas universelle. La sensibilité des SIV à la déplétion de nucléoporines qui sont connues pour affecter l'infection par HIV-1, était également variable pour différents SIV, et la même diversité a été observée concernant les déplétions de RanBP2 et Nup153. De plus, nous avons découvert une capside de SIV soumise à une forte restriction de son infection dans les cellules humaines, ce phénotype a été nommé Ref2.Il a été suggéré qu'il existait une possible corrélation entre des variations de la capside de HIV-2 et la progression vers le SIDA, nous avons donc élaboré une étude afin de déterminer si les protéines TRIM5 étaient impliquées dans ce phénotype. La conclusion est que TRIM5α humaine ne restreint fortement aucune des capsides de HIV-2 testées provenant d'une cohorte d'individus à “progression rapide“ ou “lente“ vers le SIDA. Cependant nous…

Ecology
Šumske drvenaste vrste (potencijalno) jestivih
i/ili korisnih plodova, označene kao samoniklo voće, predstavljaju
važan deo specijskog diverztiteta u šumskim ekosistemima Srbije.
Vrste Rosa canina L. (Rosaceae), Crataegus monogyna Jacq.
(Rosaceae), Prunus spinosa L. (Rosaceae), Cornus mas L. (Cornaceae)
i Cornus sanguinea L. (Cornaceae), iako relativno česte u flori
Srbije, još uvek nisu dovoljno proučene sa fitohemijskog, kao ni sa
ekološko-hemijskog aspekta. Kvalitativna i kvantitativna LC/MS-MS
analiza sadržaja određenih hemijskih jedinjenja u populacijama sa
međusobno udaljenih staništa, kao i u pojedinačnim jedinkama na
mikrostaništu, kao osnovni cilj ovog rada, pružila je informacije o
sintezi specifičnih sekundarnih metabolita kao odgovoru na kompleks
ekoloških faktora na staništu. Hemijska karakterizacija odabranih
vrsta urađena je identifikacijom i kvatifikacijom fenolne kiseline
(neohlorogena kiselina [5-Okafeoilhinska kiselina]) i pet
flavonoida (kvercituron [kvercetin-3-O-glukuronid], hiperozid
[kvercetin-3-O-galaktozid], rutin [kvercetin-3-O-rutinozid],
izokvercetin [kvercetin-3-Oglukozid] i kvercitrin [kvercetin-3-O-
ramnozid]) u metanolnim ekstraktima svežih plodova uzorkovanih iz
tri prirodne populacije svake vrste. Geografska udaljenost
istraživanih populacija (Avala, Zlatarsko jezero i Ozren) omogućila
je analizu povezanosti sadržaja ispitivanih fenolnih jedinjenja sa
različitim sredinskim uslovima. U metanolnim ekstraktima svežih
plodova vrsta R.canina, C. mas i C. sanguinea detektovano je
prisustvo svih šest analiziranih fenolnih jedinjenja: neohlorogene
kiseline, kvercetin-glukuronida, -galaktozida, -rutinozida,
-glukozida i -ramnozida, dok kod vrsta C. monogyna i P. spinosa
prisustvo kvercetin-glukuronida nije utvrđeno. U poređenju sa
literaturnim podacima ispitivanja plodova kultivisanih i divljih
vrsta koje se smatraju bogatim izvorima analiziranih fenolnih
jedinjenja (prirodnih antioksidanata), predstavljeni rezultati
pokazuju da se prirodne populacije pet šumskih vrsta sa teritorije
Srbije odlikuju veoma visokim sadržajem ovih jedinjenja. Ispitivane
vrste se značajno razlikuju kako po sadržaju analiziranih fenolnih
jedinjenja u ukupnom uzorku, tako i po njihovom procentualnom
učešću i varijabilnosti sadržaja. Kod svih ispitivanih vrsta je
utvrđen manji ili veći stepen interpopulacione varijabilnosti, a
hemometrijskom analizom je utvrđeno koja od ispitivanih jedinjenja
najviše doprinose razlikama između populacija...

▼ Tigers (Panthera tigris Linnaeus, 1758) are in danger of extinction. Their populations have declined from ~100,000 to only ~3,000 individuals in a century and their habitat has shrunk to less than 7% of the historic range. Of the five extant tiger subspecies, the Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae Pocock, 1929) is the most seriously threatened. Currently determined as Critically Endangered under IUCN criteria, the Sumatran tiger is likely to become extinct unless effective conservation measures are enacted. Threats to the tiger include habitat destruction, killing due to conflict with humans and livestock, and poaching for illegal wildlife trade.
Long-term survival of Sumatran tigers depends largely on the effectiveness of current conservation efforts in every tiger landscape. Successful conservation and management require accurate information on ecology of the
species upon which decisions can be based. This study investigated basic ecological aspects of tigers and developed strategies for management and restoration to improve tiger viability in the Central Sumatra landscape. This landscape is comprised of natural forests and plantations managed for timber and agricultural commodities.
The first chapter assesses the variation in tiger abundance across forest types in Southern Riau, and over time in Tesso Nilo National Park, all in Central Sumatra. Using camera traps, my team and I systematically sampled five blocks representing three major forest types in the region: peat land, flat lowland, and hilly lowland. I found that tiger abundance varied by forest type and through time. Excluding two sampling blocks where no tigers were photographed, the lowest tiger density was in peat land forest of Kerumutan, and the highest density was in the flat lowland forest of Tesso Nilo. Repeated sampling in the newly established Tesso Nilo National Park documented a trend of increasing tiger density (SE) from 0.90 (0.38) individuals/100 km2 in 2005 to 1.70 (0.66) individuals/100 km2 in 2008. Overall, tiger densities from this study were lower than most previous estimates from other parts of Sumatra. The trend of increasing tiger density in Tesso Nilo, however, suggests that the tiger population could be augmented by protection of habitats that were previously logged and severely disturbed.
The second chapter examines the occupancy and habitat-use of the tiger across the major landcover types (natural forest, acacia plantation, oilpalm plantation, rubber plantation, and mixed agriculture). I found that tigers used some plantation areas, although they significantly preferred forests over plantations. In all landcover types, sites with tiger detections had thicker understory cover than sites without tiger detection. Modeling tiger occupancy while recognizing that probability of detection is not always perfect, I found that tiger occupancy covaried positively and significantly with altitude and negatively, but not significantly, with distance-to-forest-cores. Probability of habitat use by tigers covaried positively and…

▼ La plasticité comportementale et les interactions entre organismes sont connues pour avoir une influence sur l’utilisation de l’espace, notamment la sélection de l’habitat de chasse. Dans l’Atlantique Nord-Est, les phoques gris et veaux marins vivent en sympatrie. Ces deux espèces sont réparties dans différentes colonies où les interactions entre organismes (liées à la taille de la colonie et à la présence simultanée ou non des deux espèces) ainsi que la disponibilité de l’habitat (et donc des proies) varient localement. L’objectif de cette thèse était d’étudier l’utilisation spatiale et la sélection d’habitat de chasse à l’échelle locale de ces deux espèces dans des situations contrastées de dynamique de colonies. Pour cela, plusieurs individus de différentes colonies situées en Irlande, en Écosse et en France ont été équipés de balises GPS/GSM. Les données récoltées ont permis de caractériser leurs trajets en mer ainsi que d’identifier les zones de chasse permettant par la suite la sélection d’habitat. Contrairement aux veaux marins, qui ont réalisé des déplacements restreints aux alentours des colonies, la plupart des phoques gris se sont déplacés entre différentes colonies. Ainsi, l’étude de la sélection d’habitat à l’échelle individuelle pour les individus se déplaçant entre différentes colonies a mis en évidence l’influence de la plasticité comportementale et suggéré celle de la personnalité de l’animal. A l’échelle de la colonie, chez les deux espèces, les résultats ont mis en évidence l’influence de la disponibilité de l’habitat (et indirectement de la disponibilité des proies) ainsi que des interactions intra-spécifiques (liée à l’effet de densité dépendance) sur l’utilisation spatiale et la sélection de l’habitat de chasse. Cependant, la sélection de l’habitat de chasse était principalement liée à la distance au reposoir et la bathymétrie. Ces deux paramètres sont liés aux caractères de chasseur à place centrale et benthique des phoques. Cette étude a également mis en évidence, pour les sites où les deux espèces étaient présentes, une certaine ségrégation spatiale et des différences de sélection d’habitat entre les deux espèces.
The behavioural plasticity and the interactions between organisms are known to influence foraging habitat selection and spatial usage. In the Northeast Atlantic, greyand harbour seals live in sympatry. These two species are spread into different colonies where interactions between organisms (linked to the colony size et and the presence of one or both species) and habitat availability (linked to the prey distribution) vary locally. The objective of this PhD was to study the spatial usage and foraging habitat selection of these two species at the local scale, in contrasted situations of population dynamics. Several individuals were tagged with GPS/GSM tags in different colonies located in Ireland, Scotland and France. Telemetry data was used to characterize the seals’ trips at sea and to identify their foraging areas in order to model foraging habitat selection. While harbour…

▼ For the second study, a web-based survey was developed and distributed to all
members of four major health education organizations. A total of 1,925 HEs’ completed
the survey and 1,607 responses were utilized in the final analysis. This study indicated
that participants had deficient knowledge and unfavorable attitudes toward the CDCproposed
genomic competencies.
In the third study, a theoretical model was developed to predict HEs’ likelihood to
incorporate genomic competencies into their practice. Using techniques from Structural
Equation Modeling (SEM), the model was tested with the same data of the second study.
Findings supported the proposed theoretical model. While genomic knowledge,
attitudes, and self-efficacy were significantly associated with HEs’ likelihood to
incorporate genomic competencies into their practice, attitudes was the strongest
predictor of likelihood.
In summary, these studies indicated that participating HEs had deficient genomic
knowledge, unfavorable attitudes toward a set of CDC-proposed genomic competencies,
and low likelihood to adopt genomic competencies into health promotion. Relevant
training should be developed and advocated. As the SEM analysis results indicated the
survey findings supported the proposed theoretical model, which can be utilized to steer
future training for HEs. statistics, 2) unadjusted inferential statistics, 3) stratified analysis, and 4) multivariable
models.
My investigation produced results in accord with generally accepted notions in
addition to significant findings that interestingly counter current preconceptions. Intraspecies
contact was more common than
inter-
species, with indirect contact occurring
more frequently than direct. Direct contact between
species occurred extremely rarely.
The most important factors that influenced the rate of contact for both
species were
water, winter, and cultivated fields.
Information regarding probability of infectious agent survival and transfer will be
used in the future to advance current epidemiological models, including geographicautomata
(Ward et al. 2007: In Press) and cellular automata models (Doran and Laffan
2005) to better understand and manage integrated domestic cattle and free-ranging
wildlife populations. Such modeling provides essential and necessary knowledge for
developing prevention, detection, response, and recovery strategies – employed in
advance, during, and after a disease outbreak, respectively.

▼ L’étude de l’écologie des communautés et de la ségrégation écologique revêt une importance particulière, notamment pour ses apports en biologie évolutive mais aussi pour ses applications dans le domaine de la conservation. La présente étude s’intéresse à la ségrégation écologique des delphinidés de l’île de Mayotte (Canal de Mozambique, sud-ouest de l’océan Indien) à deux échelles : la communauté d’espèces (approche interspécifique) et les communautés d’individus (approche intra-spécifique). Autour de cette île, une communauté diversifiée de delphinidés se partage l’espace et les ressources, et ce à de très faibles échelles spatiales. Sur treize espèces observées, au moins cinq sont observées régulièrement et ont donc été étudiées : le grand dauphin de l’Indo-Pacifique (Tursiops aduncus), le dauphin à long bec (Stenella longirostris), le dauphin tacheté pantropical (Stenella attenuata), le péponocéphale (Peponocephala electra) et le dauphin de Fraser (Lagenodelphis hosei). Chez les espèces vivant en sympatrie, des mécanismes de ségrégation devraient s’observer selon les trois dimensions principales de la niche écologique : l’espace, la ressource et le temps. A l’échelle interspécifique, les analyses de l’habitat défini par les caractères physiographiques associés à chaque observation, de l’utilisation des ressources exprimée par les isotopes stables du carbone et de l’azote et des budgets d’activités montrent que les delphinidés occupent des niches écologiques distinctes. Parallèlement, certaines espèces jumelles peuvent constituer des associations poly-spécifiques, les mettant apparemment en situation de compétition pour les ressources et les habitats. Il a été montré que ces associations, notamment chez les delphinidés du genre Stenella, n’avaient pas de signification trophique, mais constituaient plutôt une stratégie de vigilance contre les prédateurs. Le dernier volet de l’étude s’intéresse à la ségrégation intra-spécifique et à la structure de population à fine échelle, notamment chez le grand dauphin de l’Indo-Pacifique, la principale espèce de delphinidé à vivre dans les eaux intérieures du lagon. La combinaison d’approches dont les échelles sont emboitées : de l’échelle évolutive populationnelle (structure génétique) à l’échelle de la vie de l’individu (domaine vital), a permis de démontrer que l’unique groupe panmictique de Mayotte se segmentait en communautés (définies par des ensembles d’individus ayant un domaine vital commun). Au moins deux communautés ont été identifiées, utilisant des domaines distincts, formant des groupes sociaux stables mais non constitués d’individus apparentés. L’ensemble de l’étude montre que la ségrégation écologique s’observe aux échelles inter- et intra-spécifiques chez les delphinidés, et que celle-ci ne peut être mis en évidence que par des approches multi-échelles et transdisciplinaires.
The study of communities and ecological segregation is of primary importance, especially for its contribution to the field of evolutionary biology and its applications to conservation.…

▼ Les SIV infectant les chimpanzés et les gorilles sont les précurseurs des virus de l'immunodéficience humaine de type 1. Les quatre groupes du VIH-1 sont le résultat de quatre transmissions virales des grands singes à l'Homme. Des méthodes non invasives ont permis d'identifier le réservoir des VIH-1 M et N dans deux communautés de chimpanzés (Ptt) au Cameroun et de montrer que les gorilles (Ggg) sont infectés par un SIV proche des VIH-1 O et P. Si le SIVgor n'a jamais été détecté chez les chimpanzés, la phylogénie montre que les Ptt ont transmis ce virus aux gorilles. Par une méthode pluridisciplinaire, nous avons étudié les caractéristiques de l'infection SIVgor en milieu naturel. Nous avons prospecté 13 sites au Cameroun et 2 en RCA. Au total, 2120 fèces de gorilles et 442 de chimpanzés ont été collectées. L'infection SIVgor a été détectée dans 3 sites Camerounais et les prévalences varient entre 3,2% et 4,6%, résultats plus faibles que ceux retrouvés chez les chimpanzés. Nous avons ensuite montré que plusieurs groupes sociaux de Ggg dont les domaines vitaux se chevauchent sont infectés et que les prévalences SIV dans les groupes peuvent dépasser 25%. Les virus touchant les gorilles du même groupe sont génétiquement proches montrant des liens épidémiologiques. Enfin, un suivi de l'infection réalisé de 2004 à 2009 sur un site a permis de découvrir un foyer d'infection, 2 cas de séroconversions et de retrouver une femelle gorille infectée à 5 ans d'intervalle. Dans ce site, la prévalence SIV est stable et le nombre de femelles infectées est plus important que le nombre de mâles. La structure sociale des gorilles et leur comportement peuvent alors expliquer en partie la répartition et la prévalence du SIVgor, ainsi que les différences avec l'infection chez les chimpanzés.Cette étude multidisciplinaire montre la faisabilité du suivi de l'infection SIV chez les gorilles en milieu naturel. Si le SIVgor est pathogène, le suivi pourra s'avérer essentiel chez cette espèce menacée d'extinction.
SIV infecting chimpanzees and gorillas are the precursors of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1. The four groups of HIV-1 are the results of four different viral transmissions from apes to humans. Using non invasive methods we discovered the reservoir of HIV-1 M and N in two communities of chimpanzees (Ptt) in Cameroon and found that Gorillas (Ggg) are infected by a SIV close to HIV-1 O and P. While SIVgor has not yet been detected in chimpanzees, phylogeny shows that Ptt transmitted this virus to Ggg. Using a multidisciplinary approach, we studied the characteristics of the infection in wild living gorillas. We prospected 13 sites in Cameroon and 3 in CAR. 2120 fecal samples of gorillas and 442 of chimpanzees were collected. SIVgor infection was detected in 3 sites in Cameroon and the prevalence ranges from 3.2% to 4.6%, lower than in chimpanzees. Several social groups of gorillas with overlapping home-ranges were infected and the prevalence within group could exceed 25%. Viruses of the same group are genetically close,…

▼ There is no longer a dearth of well-reasoned argumentation for taking animals seriously and thus for questioning our exploitative relationships with them. It is over-determined that animals warrant moral attention. However, playing close attention to animals quickly reveals that taking their interests into account often generates conflicts with humans' interests. One common way to adjudicate competing claims is to point to a difference between basic interests (food, shelter, water, medical care, and avoiding unnecessary pain) and nonbasic interests (non-subsistence related interests) and claim that basic interests are always more important, morally speaking, than nonbasic ones. For example, a human's nonbasic interest in delicious chicken soup ought not to trump a chicken's basic interest in not suffering a horrific life under factory farming conditions and being killed for others' consumption. Careful attention to humans' interests reveals, however, that some of our seemingly less important interests are tied to highly valued ends. The chicken soup may play a significant role in my Jewish culture and in my relationship with my grandmother, for example. A tension can arise, therefore, between (1) the insight that animals' moral considerability warrants that we not harm them in service of nonbasic human interests and (2) the insight that some of our nonbasic interests are nonetheless morally significant. This tension is the focal point of my dissertation. I critically examine three methodologies for managing the tension between strong obligations to animals and the robustness of human interests (from philosophers Peter Singer, Paul Taylor, and Gary Varner). After arguing that all three are deficient in important ways, I recommend a feminist approach to
inter-
species conflicts of interest that I think best addresses the tension. The feminist approach is pluralist, non-hierarchical, and contextualized. It highlights how relationships of love and care complicate both humans' and animals' interests. It also underscores the importance of undertaking the work of moral repair in both the
inter-human and
inter-
species realms when causing harm to some party is unavoidable. Thus, the feminist methodology is well positioned to take seriously our strong obligations to animals without ignoring or discounting the robustness of human interests.

▼ Depuis plusieurs années, un nombre conséquent d’études décrivent une augmentation de l’incidence de pathologies liées à la fonction de reproduction masculine. Ces anomalies ont été regroupées sous le terme de « syndrome de dysgénésie testiculaire ». Ce syndrome aurait pour origine les effets délétères de polluants environnementaux sur le développement du testicule en période fœtale. Parmi ces polluants environnementaux, les phtalates et le bisphénol A (BPA) sont les plastifiants les plus produits et les plus répandus dans les objets de consommation courante. De nombreuses études leur sont consacrées et ont permis de les classer au rang de perturbateurs endocriniens en mettant notamment en cause leurs effets reprotoxiques. Mon travail de thèse est une étude des effets de ces deux perturbateurs endocriniens sur le développement du testicule fœtal.Nous avons réalisé une première étude concernant les effets du BPA sur le développement du testicule fœtal. Grâce au modèle de culture organotypique, nous avons développé notre étude dans trois espèces : le rat, la souris et l’Homme. Nous démontrons que le BPA diminue la sécrétion de testostérone dans le testicule fœtal humain à partir d’une concentration de 10-8M, alors que chez le rat et la souris, la sécrétion de testostérone n’est affectée qu’à partir de 10-5M de BPA. Nous avons également démontré une diminution de l’expression du gène de l’Insl-3, dans ces mêmes conditions. Ceci nous a permis de mettre en évidence une différence de sensibilité entre les espèces. Pour tenter de comprendre les mécanismes par lesquels le BPA exerce son effet toxique, nous avons comparé ses effets à ceux du DES, autre perturbateur endocrinien œstrogénomimétique. Contrairement au BPA, le DES diminue la sécrétion de testostérone fœtale chez les rongeurs, et non chez l’Homme. Ce résultat suggère l’implication de deux voies de signalisation différentes pour ces deux xéno-œstrogènes. Cette hypothèse est d’ailleurs renforcée par l’étude que nous avons SourceMécanismes d’action des perturbateurs endocriniens bisphénol A et phtalates sur le développement du testicule fœtal / par Thierry N’Tumba-Byn ; sous la direction de Virginie Rouiller-Fabre, Université Paris Sud, 2013 [Thèse de Biologie de la Reproduction et du Développement]réalisée sur des souris invalidées pour le récepteur des œstrogènes ERα, dans lesquelles l’effet anti-androgénique du BPA persiste, contrairement à celui du DES.Parallèlement, nous avons recherché les mécanismes d’action des phtalates et de leur métabolite actif le plus répandu, le MEHP (mono-2-éthyl-hexyl phtalate). Dans la continuité de plusieurs travaux réalisés dans notre laboratoire sur les effets du MEHP, nous avons tenté de comprendre les mécanismes par lesquels le MEHP induit un effet pro-apoptotique dans les cellules germinales mâles. Nous avons mis en évidence une augmentation de l’expression du gène Stra8 dans les cellules germinales traitées au MEHP. Ce résultat nous suggère que le MEHP pourrait induire une différenciation erronée des cellules germinales mâles. De…

▼ The various features determining species distributions remain enigmatic in ecology. This thesis deals with the spatial and temporal dynamics of land birds on the islands of the Dahlak archipelago, the Red Sea, and of mammals, birds and reptiles among the forest fragments of the archipelago-like east African coastal forest. The bird species richness on the islands of the Dahlak archipelago depended on area, isolation and extent of habitat. Similarly, species richness of the east African forest fragments was related to area, habitat diversity and isolation but the importance of each factor varied among taxa as well as among generalists and specialists. For example, area influenced species richness of most categories except specialist mammals and reptiles, habitat diversity was more important for forest specialists than generalists, and isolation was important only for birds. In both study areas, similarity in bird species composition decreased with increasing distances among isolates suggesting that dispersal from source pools and among isolates facilitate re-colonization. The nested community structure, i.e. species composition of species−poor communities are a subset of species−rich communities, of birds in the Dahlak archipelago depended on area and the distribution of a few habitats. Similarities in community patterns and cooccurrence patterns, at both community and species levels, were mainly related to habitat preferences and corresponding distributions of habitats as well as inter-island distances. Also, the distributional patterns suggest that predator-prey interactions can be a determinant of the spatial distribution of, at least, the prey. There was no evidence of competitive exclusion. The nested structure on the islands of the Dahlak archipelago remained fairly stable over a period of 35 years even in this arid region. The turnover dynamics were broadly predictable from the nested pattern but not always consistent with other expectations from nested community structure. Taken together my results show that mechanisms on varying spatial and temporal scales act on species distributions, and that the influence may vary among taxa mainly depending on dispersal ability. In the case of conservation, comprehensive strategies accounting for these variations are needed.

▼ This dissertation examines how various anthropogenic barriers affect wildlife movement, and in particular, how fencing affects movement and behavior of both migratory prey and predators in semi-porous environments. I chose to examine this
subject as our planets last remaining ecosystems are threatened by human encroachment due to population pressure, agriculture, and a myriad of other ecological stressors. In order to mitigate the encroachment, conservation fencing is rapidly becoming the norm even though constraining wildlife movement is fraught with ecological issues. My interest in conservation fencing was to examine the potentially hidden or understudied consequences of its usage.
The introduction discusses human-wildlife conflicts and the role of fences. Chapters 1 and 2 review the literature concerning animal movement and landscape ecology and set the general framework from which follows the series of specific studies in Chapters 3-6. Chapter 3 compares basic monitoring methods that lie at the core of the studies that follow. In this chapter, a comparison of traditional track monitoring to modern camera trapping methods demonstrated the power of mechanical vigilance but also the importance of timely monitoring for managerial decisions. Chapter 4 examines the effectiveness of fence-gaps, a wildlife management tool designed to compromise between complete isolation by fencing and an open landscape. The results of this study showed that most of the
species in situ have indeed discovered these fence-gaps. Chapter 5 explores the potentially unintended consequences of the creation of fence-gaps as these structures funnel migration movement and thus could act as prey-traps. Using a spatial analysis of carcass locations, the results of this study demonstrated that predation locations did not cluster near the fence-gaps. Chapter 6 examines predation near the perimeter fencing and within fenced areas designed to exclude elephant. Results showed that lion predation was not over-represented near the perimeter fences and that exclosures provided good hunting grounds for lion but these exclosures did not create prey-traps. The dissertation concludes that fencing is a useful conservation tool that requires reliable monitoring to understand how wildlife functions with fencing, and to permit managers to react to issues through an adaptive management framework.

▼ The eco-epidemiology of bovine tuberculosis (Tb) in wild deer (mainly red deer Cervus elaphus) in New Zealand was investigated. Bovine Tb is caused by Mycobacterium bovis. Specific aims were to clarify the likely routes of infection in deer, and to determine the status of deer as hosts of Tb, the likely rates and routes of inter- and intra-species transmission between deer and other wildlife hosts, the role of deer in spreading Tb, and the likely utility of deer as sentinels of Tb presence in wildlife. As the possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) is the main wildlife host of Tb, the research also included some investigation of transmission routes in possums.
Patterns of infection were measured in 994 deer killed between 1993 and 2003. Tb prevalence varied between areas (range 8–36%). Few deer had generalised infection, with 21–68% of infected deer having no visible lesions, depending on the area. The retropharyngeal lymph nodes and oropharyngeal tonsils were commonly infected. No dependent fawns less than 0.75 years old were infected, indicating intra-species transmission is rare in wild deer. Where possums were not controlled, the net (cumulative) force of infection in young (1–4 y) deer was 0.10–0.24 per year in males and 0.09–0.12 per year in females, but much lower in older deer (less than 0.05 per year). Possum control reduced the net force of infection quickly, and eventually to zero. However, Tb persisted in possum-controlled areas through immigration of infected deer and, for almost a decade, through the survival of resident deer infected before possum control. Tb was lost from infected deer at an exponential rate of 0.13 per year, mostly as a result of deer recovering from infection rather than dying from it. Wild deer do die of Tb, but there was no discernible effect on age structure. The occurrence of infection in deer was not linked to the local deer or possum density at their kill sites (i.e. in their home range), but the area-wide prevalence of Tb in deer was closely correlated with Tb levels in possums, which were in turn correlated with area-wide measures of possum density. For wild deer in New Zealand, Tb is a persistent but usually inconsequential disease of the lymphatic system. It is acquired mainly by young independent deer, usually orally via the tonsils, and probably as a result of licking infected possums.
Many species fed on deer carrion, including possums. Most possums encountering carrion did not feed on it, but a few fed for long periods. Other scavengers such ferrets (Mustela furo), hawks (Circus approximans), and weka (a hen-sized flightless native bird; Gallirallus australis) fed in a way that probably increased the infectivity of carrion to possums. Commercial deer hunting may have facilitated the historical establishment of Tb in possums. Scavenging (including cannibalism) and interactions with dead and dying possums are identified for the first time as potentially important routes for transmission of Tb to possums, and I develop new hypotheses involving peri- and post-mortem transmission in…

▼ Maya archaeology has become increasingly focused on exploring the details underlying socioeconomic relationships among ancient communities. This study compares the faunal remains from ten Late Classic period (c. A.D. 550-850) Maya sites of varying size and social complexity in order to explore patterns regarding ancient political and economic interactions at the little-understood subordinate communities in the Peten region of northern Guatemala. The study investigates a number of topics within the broad
subject of socioeconomics, including subsistence practices and trade, power and status relations on an
inter- and intra-site basis, political-economics of ritual practices, and crafting activities. Faunal comparisons focusing on these topics are used to determine whether the subordinate communities were microcosms of the larger political centers or capitals, whether they were economically and politically integrated with the larger centers, or whether they functioned independently in terms of how they used animal resources.
