La statistique bayésienne est partout : prévisions météo, analyses d’épidémies, préservation de la biodiversité… Dans un monde incertain, elle permet d’estimer, de prédire et de décider, en donnant un sens aux données.

Ce livre propose une introduction accessible et concrète à la statistique bayésienne. 

L’auteur explique pas-à-pas les fondements de l’approche, sa singularité et la logique qui sous-tend le raisonnement bayésien. L’apprentissage s’appuie sur le logiciel libre R et se construit à partir de questions de recherche liées à l’écologie du ragondin qui constitue le fil rouge de l’ouvrage.

Chaque chapitre aborde un pilier essentiel : le théorème de Bayes, les méthodes de Monte Carlo par chaînes de Markov (MCMC), le choix et le rôle des distributions a priori, la régression linéaire et ses extensions, les modèles linéaires généralisés (mixtes ou pas), jusqu’à la comparaison et la validation de modèles. Le lecteur est invité à coder, simuler, tester et visualiser pour comprendre, grâce aux exemples et au matériel en ligne.

Rédigé dans un style direct et didactique, comme un échange entre enseignant et étudiant, l’ouvrage démystifie la statistique bayésienne. Il s’adresse à tous ceux qui souhaitent se former à cette approche : étudiants, universitaires… et toute personne souhaitant appliquer ces méthodes en sciences du vivant, des données ou de l’environnement.

Ce livre nous invite à refonder notre manière de se nourrir pour faire de l’alimentation notre bien commun.    
La tâche est immense. Nous savons produire beaucoup mais mal, nous sommes devenus des consommateurs hors sol. Le grand remplacement des vrais aliments par des produits issus de l’industrie a marginalisé l’agriculture, créé une alimentation à deux vitesses et fortement accru nos dépenses de santé.  
On ne sortira pas de cette impasse, sans trouver une alimentation plus adaptée à la physiologie humaine et à la préservation de l’environnement. Pour cela, nous devrons abandonner le vieux logiciel de la nutrition conventionnelle pour mettre en œuvre une nutriécolgie humaine qui nous aidera à manger juste.

Les îles du Sud-Ouest de l’océan Indien sont mondialement reconnues pour la richesse de leur biodiversité singulière et vulnérable. L’anthropisation reste la cause principale de la dégradation des habitats, de l’extinction et de la raréfaction des espèces. Reconquérir ce patrimoine naturel relève d’une urgence écologique, sociétale et culturelle. La volonté d’agir des acteurs de la conservation repose cependant sur une bonne connaissance de l’écologie des espèces végétales indigènes et des méthodes de multiplication.

Ce guide pratique constitue une boîte à outils pour les acteurs engagés dans les différents niveaux de conservation de la biodiversité. Il contribue à la diffusion de données écologiques et physiologiques, capitalisées depuis plus de trente ans par le Cirad de La Réunion dans le bassin de l’océan Indien. Il se présente sous forme de fiches d’itinéraires de multiplication pour 100 espèces indigènes et intègre des stratégies afin de surmonter les principaux obstacles rencontrés à chaque étape du processus.

Cet ouvrage sème ainsi des graines pour lever les verrous techniques et opérationnels dans le but de participer à l’effort collectif de conservation et de reconquête d’une biodiversité unique au monde.

Après La Prodigieuse histoire du nom des éléments, voici La Foisonnante histoire du nom des molécules, une exploration des combinaisons d’atomes qui façonnent notre monde.
Cet ouvrage révèle l’étymologie des noms des molécules, une clé pour comprendre leur découverte, connaître les chimistes qui y ont contribué, et même l’état des connaissances scientifiques à leur époque. Les noms deviennent ainsi le point de départ d’un périple bien au-delà de la chimie, nous entraînant vers la botanique, la zoologie, l’histoire, la mythologie, la médecine, la biologie, les techniques ou encore l’industrie…
Les molécules, omniprésentes, n’ont pas fini de surprendre :
? La vanilline fait de la vanille la star mondiale des arômes.
? L’indigo est une teinture largement utilisée depuis l’Antiquité, et son origine indienne se retrouve dans son nom.
? Le Taxotère®, anticancéreux majeur, est obtenu grâce à des composés chimiques tirés d’un arbre, l’if (taxus en latin).
? L’acide hyaluronique, au nom assez énigmatique, connaît une renommée mondiale dans le domaine des cosmétiques.
? Enfin, la vie elle-même repose sur des molécules essentielles : ADN, ARN, acides aminés, protéines, vitamines…
Organisé par thèmes et doté d’un index alphabétique, ce livre invite à un voyage entre étymologie et chimie, entre histoire des sciences et anecdotes captivantes.

Les racines sont essentielles à la vie de toutes les plantes sauvages et cultivées, des plus menues aux arbres gigantesques. Elles assurent la nutrition et l’alimentation en eau des végétaux, et remplissent de nombreuses autres fonctions : ancrer la plante, freiner l’érosion des sols, fournir des sucres et d’autres composés carbonés aux organismes souterrains… En outre, les échanges qu’elles entretiennent avec leur environnement immédiat stimulent les activités microbiennes, qui enrichissent le sol et contribuent en retour à protéger la plante.

Maillon indispensable au cycle de l’eau, les racines atténuent aussi le réchauffement climatique en stockant du carbone dans le sol et participent de diverses manières au bon fonctionnement des écosystèmes terrestres. Par ailleurs, elles restent, pour les sociétés humaines, une source importante d’aliments (betteraves, carottes, manioc, patates douces…) et de services (agricoles, forestiers, pharmaceutiques…).

En révélant les fonctions, les interactions et les capacités d’adaptation des racines aux milieux les plus variés, cet ouvrage explore leurs rôles méconnus. Il s’adresse à tous les lecteurs s’intéressant aux plantes, aux cultures, aux forêts et aux sols.

Cet ouvrage s’organise en deux parties distinctes. 
La première, dédiée aux notes de cours, présente un principe incontournable de la mécanique analytique : le principe des puissances virtuelles. Ce principe, et les équations de Lagrange qui en découlent, forment les bases essentielles de la mécanique lagrangienne. Pour rendre ces concepts accessibles, le texte s’enrichit d’applications concrètes, d’exemples variés et de conseils méthodologiques, offrant ainsi une approche à la fois rigoureuse et pédagogique.
La seconde partie rassemble une sélection de problèmes résolus, dont une grande partie est originale. Structurés en trois recueils de cinq problèmes chacun, ces exercices permettent une progression adaptée : des sujets simples pour débuter, des cas plus ardus pour approfondir, et enfin des problèmes type examen pour consolider la maîtrise des équations de Lagrange. Un outil idéal pour apprendre et s’exercer en mécanique analytique.

Ce numéro traite de résultats de projets lauréats en 2019 de l'appel à projet CASDAR (Compte d'Affectation Spéciale Développement Agricole et Rural), « Innovation et Partenariat » et « Recherche Technologique ». Ces projets sont financés par le ministère de l'Agriculture et de la Souveraineté Alimentaire.

Les organismes interagissent entre eux et avec leur environnement via leurs sens. Or les infrastructures et les activités humaines émettent de la lumière artificielle la nuit, des bruits et des molécules volatiles susceptibles de dégrader et de fragmenter les paysages sensoriels, rendant les écosystèmes moins fonctionnels. Alors que l’artificialisation des milieux naturels est identifiée comme l’une des premières causes d’érosion de la biodiversité, ces pollutions sensorielles restent pourtant une préoccupation mineure dans les politiques publiques. 

Cet ouvrage replace tout d’abord la perception sensorielle au cœur du fonctionnement des écosystèmes et des paysages. Il présente ensuite l’impact des pollutions lumineuses, sonores et olfactives sur la faune et les écosystèmes, puis propose des solutions pour les limiter. Enfin, il invite à une meilleure prise en compte de ces enjeux dans la planification territoriale au travers des politiques de trames écologiques.

Changes in plant electrical signals are closely linked to a wide range of physiological and biochemical processes. This work employs non-stimulatory and non-invasive techniques to acquire electrical signals from different plant species, and systematically analyzes the mechanisms of signal generation as well as the functional principles of diverse plant electrical signals. It further examines plant electrophysiological responses to variations in water and nutrient metabolism, salinity stress, disease, and pH conditions. The book outlines principles and technologies for using electrophysiological information to characterize water metabolism, active and passive nutrient transport, salt tolerance, disease resistance, acid–alkali tolerance, plant health status, and environmental adaptability. Through the measurement and interpretation of electrophysiological signals, it provides biophysical insights into the fundamental mechanisms underlying plant life processes. The methods and findings offer technical support for improving plants’ environmental adaptability in agricultural production and provide theoretical and data-driven foundations for the development of smart crop health management and intelligent breeding systems.

This book serves as a valuable reference for researchers and graduate students in plant physiology, biophysics, agricultural engineering, and plant ecology. It may also be used as supplementary reading for advanced undergraduates in related disciplines, and as a practical resource for technical professionals in agricultural intelligent equipment enterprises and large-scale agricultural organizations.

Quatre Cassini se sont succédé à la tête de l’astronomie française pendant un siècle et demi. Le premier, Giovanni Domenico, déjà célèbre par ses travaux en Italie, a été appelé par Louis XIV pour prendre en main l’Observatoire de Paris à sa création. Il s’est établi définitivement en France, son nom étant francisé en Jean-Dominique Cassini. Bénéficiant d’une acuité visuelle exceptionnelle, il a découvert quatre satellites de Saturne, la division de l’anneau de cette planète à laquelle on a donné son nom ; il a également déterminé la période de rotation sur eux-mêmes du Soleil, de Mars et de Jupiter et fait la première carte détaillée de la Lune. Cassini est aussi connu pour avoir étudié les occultations des satellites de Jupiter par leur planète, dont l’observation a permis d’établir la longitude de nombreux lieux de la France et du monde entier ainsi que la mesure, pour la première fois, de la vitesse de la lumière. Il fut, comme ses descendants, un pionnier de la cartographie, dont le résultat final est la magnifique Carte des Cassini de la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Les découvertes de Cassini concernant le système de Saturne ont conduit la NASA et l’ESA à donner son nom à la sonde spatiale qui a exploré la planète et ses satellites de 2004 à 2017.
Ce sont toutes ces histoires, placées dans le contexte de leur époque, qui font l’objet du présent livre, qui est un ouvrage de référence et inclut une bibliographie très complète, tout en restant accessible au non-spécialiste.

Les myxomycètes – La Cuprosklodowskite  - Le Pelophylax kl. Esculentus – Le Cercle de Borda - La Catalyse de Paul Sabatier
C’est le volume des métamorphoses. Dans la forme d’abord avec 4 universités invitées à participer à ce projet. Et dans le fond aussi : les myxomycètes qui se transforment pour se reproduire ; la cuprosklodowskite, produit d’une minéralisation secondaire et source de radioactivité ; une grenouille incarnation même de l’idée de métamorphose, un instrument qui a changé radicalement notre système de mesure de l’espace, et enfin, une réaction chimique qui a transfiguré un destin.
Produits de l’histoire, ces fragments de science sont à la fois des morceaux de patrimoine et du patrimoine en morceaux. Ils nous relient et nous attachent : ils sont des traces matérielles qui font racines, disent une continuité, construisent la mémoire collective, et finalement contribuent à définir notre identité. Ils sont autant d’indices qui, mis bout à bout, permettent de déchiffrer et de recomposer l’aventure scientifique.

COMMENT s’est développée la pensée rationnelle au cours des siècles ? Il est indéniable que la physique y a fortement contribué.

Cette série de 4 livres propose ainsi une histoire de la découverte des concepts de la physique par ceux qui l’ont construite, et ont, bien souvent, été oubliés. Accessible à tous, ce grand récit est étoffé, dans des encadrés, de démonstrations respectant l’esprit de l’époque mais reformulées, pour le lecteur ayant quelques connaissances scientifiques, en langage mathématique actuel. À l’heure où la science est régulièrement remise en question, il paraît nécessaire de considérer avec clairvoyance le chemin parcouru et d’en tirer des enseignements, afin de se préparer au mieux à affronter les défis majeurs des années à venir.

Ce 3e tome débute avec la condamnation de Galilée en 1633 et la publication du « discours sur deux sciences nouvelles », son œuvre la plus importante. Une nouvelle communauté scientifique voit le jour avec des physiciens cherchant l’explication de la création par des lois mathématiques reliant les causes et les effets. Ainsi naissent la mécanique classique de Newton, l’évaluation de la vitesse de la lumière… et la révolution mathématique de Leibnitz, Bernoulli, Euler puis Lagrange. Le rôle de la religion se limite désormais à professer une morale que les philosophes remodèlent. En 170 ans, les physiciens ont modifié la vision du monde, mais les sciences émergentes comme la chimie, l’électricité restent encore à développer, elles ne seront théorisées qu’au XIXe siècle.

This book explores the atmosphere as a dynamic transport system for small biological particles in the atmosphere, with a focus on microorganisms and small insects, applicable to nematodes, spiders, tardigrades, etc. It brings together interdisciplinary competence from Life, Earth and Mathematical Sciences to describe emissions processes such as wildfire smoke, sea spray and recurrent uplift from plant canopies; transport processes and trajectories in the past, present and future; and how the voyagers survive the atmospheric physico-chemical conditions. The book introduces tools to trace dispersal routes, assess post-deposition impacts, as well as the concepts of “atmospheric biogeography” and “windsheds” to understand and anticipate microbial movement across landscapes and borders. It offers stimulus to both new and established researchers to undertake an important challenge in aerobiology: to more precisely characterize and quantify the dynamics of particle voyages on the highways of the atmosphere and identify the impacts of these voyages on disease epidemiology, environmental quality and the evolution of organisms.

Les mycotoxines sont des métabolites qui peuvent s’avérer toxiques pour l’humain et l’animal. Produites et excrétées par des champignons microscopiques, elles contaminent les cultures au champ ou lors du stockage.

Les mycotoxines peuvent engendrer des problèmes de santé publique, mais aussi animale et environnementale, ainsi que des pertes économiques importantes pour les filières. Face au danger qu’elles représentent, les agences publiques ont entrepris d’évaluer le risque lié à leur présence dans les chaînes alimentaires humaine et animale, et les pouvoirs publics ont instauré des réglementations et recommandations régissant leurs teneurs dans les denrées.

De plus, certains facteurs modifient les profils de contamination des aliments. C’est le cas du dérèglement climatique, avec en particulier l’émergence d’espèces fongiques productrices de mycotoxines qui, jusqu’alors, contaminaient des denrées d’origine tropicale. Les changements de pratiques, du champ au stockage, notamment avec le développement de l’agroécologie, peuvent également favoriser le développement de certaines mycotoxines. Par ailleurs, de nouvelles habitudes alimentaires, dont la réduction des protéines animales au bénéfice de protéines végétales, impactent aussi le profil d’exposition des consommateurs. Toutes ces évolutions constituent des défis majeurs pour la communauté scientifique, les filières et les pouvoirs publics.

Cet ouvrage destiné aux étudiants, aux chercheurs et enseignants, aux acteurs des filières agricoles et agro-industrielles, ainsi qu’aux agences sanitaires, synthétise les connaissances sur cette classe de contaminants naturels des aliments, et s’attache à définir les enjeux de leur présence dans un monde en perpétuel changement.

Les récifs coralliens figurent parmi les écosystèmes les plus beaux et les plus diversifiés. Les premiers marins s’en méfiaient, les naturalistes ne savaient qu’en penser, mais de nombreuses populations côtières ont largement profité de ces mystérieuses structures rocheuses qui poussent jusqu’à la surface de la mer. Leur richesse alimentaire a permis à d’innombrables communautés côtières de se développer sous leur protection en leur offrant un brise-lames contre les tempêtes et les hautes vagues. Présents dans d’innombrables endroits du monde, de la province corallienne de l’Indo-Pacifique aux Caraïbes et à l’Australie, ils soutiennent à la fois la vie marine et la vie humaine. Mais aujourd’hui, les récifs coralliens sont en danger : nombre d’entre eux meurent ou souffrent de la surexploitation, de la pollution, du réchauffement et de l’acidification des océans. Il est essentiel de comprendre les récifs, leur conservation et leur gestion, et de transmettre ces connaissances aux autorités si nous voulons préserver ces écosystèmes remarquables.
