A SYSTEMATIC BREAKDOWN OF STIMULUS-RESPONSE ASSOCIATIONS
Associative learning is used by humans and animals alike to achieve goals in their environment more efficiently. Associative Stimulus-Response learning results in neural economy and automatisation of behaviours. However, the mechanisms that lead to this automatisation are still largely unknown. This project aims at breaking down the mechanisms that lead to a stimulus in the environment being associated to a particular response and how these associations are affected by reinforcement.
A genomic approach to identify postzygotic mutations in mosaic developmental diseases involving the skin
A large number of developmental diseases may be caused by mutations that occur early during embryogenesis (called "postzygotic" mutations) and result in a mosaic organism composed of genetically diffe
A study of job quality for cleaning occupations
The number of jobs related to cleaning (cleaners, domestic workers, home care workers, housemaids, …) has increased quickly for the last ten years. These occupations represent now a high potential for
A systems biology approach to improve poplar biorefinery feedstock by deciphering the genetic architecture of lignocellulosic biomass production and quality
Lignocellulosic biomass from poplar is a renewable resource of interest for biorefinery. However, current varieties have not been selected for this specific purpose. It is therefore crucial to study the variability and genetic determinism of traits that affect the yield and quality of lignocellulosic biomass in poplar.
A trait-based approach linking individual Fitness of Fungal plant pathogens to ecological strategies.
The objective of the FunFit project is to confront theoretical mathematical models and biological observations in order to better understand the evolution of biological characters (or life history traits) related to aggressiveness and dispersal abilities of fungal pathogens of forest trees. Three major forest diseases were selected as study models: poplar rust, chestnut blight and oak powdery mildew.
AFTER the end: reassembly of marine communities during the Early Triassic recovery
The core idea of this project comes from recent discoveries on the PT crisis and its recovery by our team. These significant advances markedly<br />contrast with the classic, world-wide “delayed recovery” scenario and its associated paradigms.Our main goal is thus to test the “delayed recovery” model at a local to regional (i.e. ecologically functional) scale, looking for the potential drivers that influenced patterns and processes of the biotic recovery.
