Projet de thèse : Caractériser la biodiversité dans les ports marins avec l’ADN environnemental

Les zones côtières sont parmi les écosystèmes les plus diversifiés de la planète mais abritent en même temps plus d'un tiers de la population humaine au niveau mondial. Par conséquent, des pressions anthropiques de plus en plus intenses s'exercent sur le littoral, en particulier via l'artificialisation des côtes, bouleversant les communautés biologiques qui y sont associées. La biodiversité des ports marins est notamment très mal connue, et l'objectif de cette thèse est de combler cette lacune grâce à un suivi standardisé rendu possible par la méthode du metabarcoding d'ADN environnemental. Un échantillonnage de l'ensemble du côtier méditerranéen français incluant la Corse a été réalisé afin de caractériser la biodiversité associée aux ports marins ainsi que les facteurs anthropiques et environnementaux influençant cette diversité, en se focalisant sur les communautés de poissons et de crustacés. Les différences d'assemblages entre communautés dans les ports et en dehors permettront d'identifier les espèces propres aux environnements portuaires et celles qui au contraire sont le plus impactées par l'urbanisation en milieu marin. L'hypothèse selon laquelle l'artificialisation entraîne un mécanisme d'homogénéisation biotique sera étudiée. Le potentiel rôle des ports marins comme de site de colonisation précoce des espèces non indigènes sera également exploré.

Les objectifs de cette thèse sont :

• D’évaluer de façon générale la biodiversité dans les ports et en dehors des ports sur l’ensemble de la façade Méditerranéenne française
• D’établir une typologie fonctionnelle de la biodiversité portuaire pour différents groupes taxonomiques, et identifier les facteurs environnementaux et anthropiques qui l’influencent
• D’évaluer le potentiel rôle des ports comme refuge pour certaines espèces ou de sentinelle pour la détection d’espèces non indigènes
• D’établir une carte de la connectivité potentielle entre les ports et différents habitats naturels adjacents à partir de données paysagères
• D’évaluer les biais de détection de la biodiversité avec l’ADN environnemental, et identifier les covariables qui les influencent

Thesis project: Characterizing seaports biodiversity through environmental DNA

         Coastal areas are among the most diverse ecosystems on Earth but also host one third of the global human population. Consequently, coastlines are under increasing human pressures, particularly because of coastal artificialization, altering the associated biological communities. Seaports’ biodiversity remains notably widely unknown, and the aim of this thesis is to fill this gap through standardized monitoring thanks to environmental DNA metabarcoding. A sampling of the whole French Mediterranean coastline including Corsica was done to characterize seaports-associated biodiversity as well as the anthropogenic and environmental factors shaping this diversity, focusing on fish and crustacean communities. Differences in assemblages between communities inside and outside seaports will allow to identify species that are specific to seaports and on the contrary those that are the most impacted by marine urbanization. The hypothesis according to which artificialization lead to biotic homogenization mechanism will be investigated. The potential role of seaports as early colonization sites for non-indigenous species will also be explored.

The objectives of this thesis are:

• Provide a biodiversity overview inside and outside seaports along the French Mediterranean coastline
• Establish a functional typology of seaport biodiversity for different taxonomic groups, and identify the environmental and anthropogenic factors responsible
• Evaluate the potential implications of seaports in sheltering some species or favoring the establishment of non-indigenous species
• Build a potential connectivity map between seaports and different neighbor natural habitats from seascape data
• Assess eDNA-related biodiversity detection biases, and identify the covariables responsible

Résumé :

Face au déclin de la biodiversité, nous devons nous armer d'outils et de méthodes pour étudier les communautés biologiques et sensibiliser le grand public, dont les décideurs. Ceci est d'autant plus vrai pour des groupes qui sont relativement peu connus et qui sont jugés comme "ordinaires". C'est le cas des insectes. Mes travaux portent donc sur les leviers techniques (nouvelles méthodes de détection, des modèles fiables de distribution à grande échelle), mais aussi sociétaux (humanités environnementales, outils de protection) qui mènent les acteurs à utiliser ces outils techniques et à pousser à la conservation des insectes. Pour cela, je m'appuie sur l'exemple des Coléoptères coprophages à l'échelle de la France.

Projets actuels & Partenaires :

Détection de l’entomofaune pastorale via des outils d’ADNe (2019-2021)

En partenariat avec l’Agence Française de la Biodiversité, cinq parcs nationaux (PNM, PNE, PNV, PNC et PNP) et des entomologistes spécialistes, je travaille sur le développement d’outils d’inventaire de l’entomofaune pastorale (Scarabaeoidea, Carabidae, Staphylinidae (INSECTA) et Lycosidae (ARACHNIDA)) qui s’appuient sur les méthodes dites “ADN environnementale” ou “eDNA”.

Ce travail consiste à (1) établir une base de référence moléculaire pour les taxons ciblés (séquençage des marqueur 16S), à (2) réaliser de tests sur le terrain sur l’attractivité et efficacité du dispositif et (3) à transférer les méthodes aux opérateurs de terrain. Chaque étape est validé par un comité pilotage, compose de chercheurs et de gestionnaires d’espaces naturels représentant chacun des parcs partenaires.

ScaraB'Obs : Étude & Conservation des Scarabaeoidea Laparosticti de France (en cours)

ScaraB'Obs est un projet de recherche conduit par l’équipe Écologie des Systèmes Anthropisés du CEFE (UPVM3 - CEFE) et en partenariat avec des agents de Conservatoires d'Espaces Naturels, Parcs Naturels et associations entomologiques. Il vise à lever les verrous scientifiques et sociétaux qui actuellement nous empêchent de préserver efficacement la biodiversité ordinaire et d’en évaluer objectivement l’état de conservation. Son principal objectif : de créer un observatoire dynamique sur la faune coprophage de France.

Résumé de Thèse (soutenue en 2018) :     
        "Conservation de la biodiversité ordinaire : enjeux scientifiques & sociétaux"

        "Challenges for the conservation of ordinary biodiversity: scientific & social stakes"

En regardant de près les outils juridiques et autres leviers, pour la conservation de la biodiversité, il semblerait que les invertébrés, et notamment les insectes, soient minoritaires ou absents. Ce constat est d’autant plus paradoxal lorsque l’on sait que 2/3 de la diversité biologique est composée par des insectes. Comment cette diversité essentielle pour le fonctionnement des écosystèmes se retrouve-t-elle dans l’angle mort de la conservation ?

La première réponse avancée est le manque d’outils techniques pour étudier ces organismes petits et relativement insaisissables. La rencontre avec les nouvelles méthodes techniques pour la détection et l’étude des insectes est plus que jamais nécessaire. En effet, ces leviers permettront de faciliter l’étude de ces organismes, d’augmenter les connaissances et ainsi de développer une conservation plus adéquate. Nous évoquerons deux approches en particulier : la détection avec des outils moléculaires et l’utilisation de modèles statistiques pour l’exploration de la distribution potentielle des espèces.

Mais les connaissances sont également fondées sur la demande sociétale. Et les connaissances alimentent elles-mêmes les outils de protection et de conservation de la biodiversité. À l’échelle des invertébrés, des disparités existent, privilégiant les « grands papillons bleus » aux « petits diptères marrons ». De fait, l’enjeu le plus important pour déverrouiller la conservation des insectes réside dans l’humain et la perception qu’il a de cette biodiversité. À travers une approche de psychologie de la conservation, nous sonderons la perception du grand public sur les insectes. De même, avec une approche de recherche-action-participative, nous tenterons d’engager divers acteurs vers la conservation d’un groupe d’insectes ordinaires : les coléoptères coprophages. Notre volonté est de proposer des moyens pour sensibiliser, éduquer et engager la société dans cet enjeu majeur qu’est la conservation de l’entomofaune.

Who am I?

I am an evolutionary biologist, cognitive scientist and naturalist. My main objective is to understand how do evolve complex and extravagant visual signals such as the eyespots of the peacock, the danse of the birds of paradise, and some artworks in humans. My research hypothesis is beauty. Using approaches of empirical psychology, computational neuroscience, artificial intelligence and philosophy of aesthetics, my goal is to identify the biological mechanisms underlying the beauty judgment in order to develop mechanistic models that predict this judgement. I then transfer these models to other animals to understand how beauty influences behaviors and, ultimately, the evolution of communication signals in nature.

I am also working on methods to characterize visual phenotypes, with applications in community ecology, evolutionary biology and systematics. I am particularly interested in how to use artificial intellgience to describe visual phenotypes and to model animal vision.

I am also conducting or participating to several research projects in ornithology (mostly on searbirds) and ichthyology (fish, and in particular gobies, of the Northeastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean region).

Directeur de Recherche / Senior scientist

I study the evolution of adaptive diversity, using colour patterns in butterflies as a model. In my group, we integrate many different approaches, including ecology, genetics, and modelling, to try and untangle how multiple factors influence the evolution and maintenance of diversity and polymorphisms.

I am interested in how changes in biodiversity and environmental conditions (atmospheric carbon dioxide, temperature, precipitation) affect plant-soil interactions, with a particular focus on plant litter and decomposer organisms. The main research goal is a mechanistic understanding of the drivers of biogeochemical cycles using experimental approaches in the field (alpine, temperate, Mediterranean and tropical forest ecosystems) and the laboratory.

@Th_Lenormand

My principal area of research is Evolutionary genetics and evolutionary ecology. I have a broad expertise in evolutionary biology, genetics and ecology.

I have been working on adaptation and mutation, local adaptation, evolution of genetic systems (sex, recombination, sex chromosomes), evolution of gene duplicates, speciation, genetic conflicts, dispersal, biotic interactions (parasites, microbiota), statistics and fitness measures. I have been working with many empirical systems (vertebrates, insects, crustaceans, fungi, plants, helminths, bacteria), in the lab and in the field.

Currently, my scientific activity rests on three axes: first I do theoretical work (theoretical population genetics, statistics, and bioinformatics development). I am particularly interested currently on the evolution of gene expression (on sex chromosomes or in asexuals). Second, I work on small crustaceans Artemia and Daphnia. I’m particularly interested currently on sex-asex transitions, biotic interactions and adaptation to temperature. Third, I do experimental evolution on E. coli. I'm particularly interested on testing fitness landscape models, adaptation to different doses of antibiotics, and coevolution of species coexisting by frequency dependence.

Research interests by keywords
adaptation, local adaptation, migration, speciation, (sex) chromosomes, clines, sex, parthenogenesis, meiosis, recombination, epistasis, dominance, mutations, resistance, duplications, modifiers, mating systems, sexual conflicts, parasites, microbiota.
