Adaptation of Fragmented Freshwater species Assemblages In Rapidly-changing environmentS – AFFAIRS
Animal communities respond to change by losing/gaining species or by evolutionary change within species. Understanding such processes is crucial now that climate and land use are being rapidly modified by man. We will study these processes in Antillean freshwaters.
Adaptation of oyster-farming ecosystems to global change – GIGASSAT
Since the 1970s, disease epidemics, mass mortalities, harmful algal blooms and other population explosions have been occurring in marine environments at a historically unprecedented rate due to climat
Adaptation strategies and bio-economic regulations in fragile environment: the role of the "desert kites" – GLOBALKITES
GLOBALKITES focuses on defining variability and functionality of major archaeological stone-made structures called «desert kites«. Often considered as hunting traps, the kites could have been also used for animal domestication. In a broader spatial context (from Arabia to Caucasus) and temporal one (from the Neolithic to present), we propose an interdisciplinary approach at the crossings of anthropology, geomatics and archaeological sciences.
Adaptation to darkness and food scarcity of independent populations of Astyanax mexicanus blind cavefish: a comparative transcriptomic approach of the underlying molecular mechanisms. – BLINDTEST
BLINDTest will take advantage of the possibilities offered by second generation sequencing technologies to describe transcriptome-wide the genetic polymorphism that arose within and between natural populations of a vertebrate species presenting populations living in radically different environments. We will then further test functionally the adaptive nature of observed genetic changes through a functional approaches
Adaptation to heat in pig production: the genetic pathway – Pig Heat Tolerance PigHeaT
Heat stress-related costs in pig production are important. The genetic selection for improving environmental adaptation in pigs is a promising option. The PigHeaT project aims at identifying genes involved in heat tolerance and at better understanding the physiological mechanisms of heat adaptation.
Adaptative burner for use of low CALorific gaseous products of industrial processes by coupling Oxycombustion and Heat RecoverY – CALOHRY
Role of oxygen and combustible effluents temperatures on the behaviour of the flame and its efficiency.<br />Modelling of its impact on an industrial process<br />
Adapting Landscape Mosaics of medIteranean Rainfed Agrosystems for a sustainable management of crop production, water and soil resources – ALMIRA
Among a panel of possible scenarios for the evolution of landscape mosaics in Mediterranean rainfed agricultural systems, we aim at identifying those who are acceptable to stakeholders, and that establish a compromise on a set of ecosystem services: production of agricultural biomass, production of water in dams, and soil conservation by minimizing erosion.

Adaptive and maladaptive response to stress : a longitudinal brain imaging characterisation with molecular correlates – SIGMA
Affective disorders result from a gene-environment interaction with stress as a risk factor that may precipitate their emergence. Every individual experiences stressful life events. In some cases acut
Adaptive management in insect pest control in thermally heterogeneous agricultural landscapes – MAN-PEST
Most landscapes, including agricultural ones, are composed of a mosaic of favorable, sub-optimal and lethal thermal habitats which directly influences the performance of ectotherms such as insect pest. To better manage crop pest populations in the context of climate change, it is necessary to measure thermal heterogeneity at a fine, ecologically relevant, scale.
