How ANOpheles Females sEEk maLe? – Anofeel
Basic knowledge of insect mating behavior and a clear understanding of the mechanisms of mate preference was incidental to the development of efficient agricultural pest control. Such knowledge is currently lacking for most arthropod vector species. Here, we propose to fill some of these gaps by addressing for the first time processes involved in female mating behavior in the African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae.
Microplastics, nanoplastics in the marine environment: characterization, impacts and sanitary risk assessment. – Nanoplastics
Les déchets plastiques s'accumulent depuis plusieurs décennies dans les océans où ils se fragmentent en particules dont les microplastiques (<5mm) et nanoplastiques (<100nm). Les microplastiques sont retrouvés dans toutes les eaux du globe ainsi que dans les sédiments et dans de nombreux organismes marins. Cependant, leur comportement très complexe dans l’environnement marin, leur devenir et leurs potentiels impacts sur l’écosystème marin sont encore très peu caractérisés....
MOllusc BIvalves as inDICators of contamination of water bodies by protozoan parasites. – MOBIDIC
Les indicateurs microbiologiques actuels ne renseignent pas correctement la contamination des masses d’eau par les protozoaires. De plus, la recherche des protozoaires dans l’eau est fastidieuse et conduit à une variabilité des résultats (spatiale et temporelle). MOBIDIC se propose de lever ces limites par l’utilisation de bivalves
Interactions between pathogens and pesticide mixtures in the honey bee – MIXTRESS
Les abeilles sont exposées à des mélanges de pesticides à la fois lors des traitements de plantes mais aussi par leur nourriture qui est contaminée avec de nombreuses substances. Il a été montré que les pesticides pouvaient agir en synergie avec les agents pathogènes lorsqu’ils étaient utilisés seuls. Dans ce programme, il est proposé d’étudier non seulement les effets des mélanges de pesticides mais aussi les effets de ces mélanges lorsqu’ils sont associés à des agents pathogènes chez l’abeille
High Frequency Trading and Ghost Liquidity – GHOST
Today high frequency trading (HFT) plays a central role in financial markets and stock markets are fragmented between several venues. Some HFT strategies consist of supplying liquidity on several trading venues simultaneously and then withdrawing that liquidity as soon as some orders from the strategy are executed on one of the venues. This makes the true level of liquidity different from its perceived level – the difference being ghost liquidity (GL). Our project aims to analyze GL in Europe.
SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE: EXPERIMENTS AND THEORIES CONCERNING ECONOMIC AGENTS – SINT
Which factors enable successful decision making, is a question equally pertinent to economists as it is to researchers in other social sciences. Psychologists have long stressed that successful decisi

Sleep-dependent memory consolidation – ENSOM
A key role of sleep has clearly been demonstrated in memory consolidation in adults. Sleep leads to strengthen memory by promoting brain plasticity. Surprisingly, sleep influence on learning stabilization has scarcely been studied during childhood and in children affected by sleep disorders. Yet, sleep disorders concern almost 30% of children and are frequently related to a worsening in academic performances.
Parallel orthographic processing and multi-word reading – O-codeReader
The present project aims to bridge the gap between different research traditions, bringing together experts on visual word recognition, reading development, oculomotor control, spatial attention, and computational modeling, with the overarching goal of developing a new model of basic processes in reading that builds on knowledge gained from prior research on single word recognition and prior research on eye guidance during reading.
