Article Reference COnservation management of POlar ecosystems (COPE project): using genomic approaches to study connectivity in Antarctic fishes and amphipods, across spatial and functional scales
The unique cold-adapted ecosystems of the Southern Ocean are threatened by rapid environmental change and increasing anthropogenic impact. Marine protected areas (MPAs), areas of ocean where human activities are limited or prohibited, have been increasingly promoted as a tool for mitigating ocean threats and conserving biodiversity. National governments and the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is progressing towards establishing a representative network of MPAs in the Southern Ocean. Connectivity is now widely recognized to be a crucial variable for the design and management of MPA networks through the effects that movements of individuals and genes have on population viability, metapopulation persistence, and resilience to disturbance. The understanding of connectivity patterns is required to prioritize the allocation of conservation effort towards, for instance, areas acting as central connection nodes in a network of MPAs. The COPE project aims to advance the understanding of genetic connectivity and adaptation in key benthic and pelagic Antarctic organisms (crustaceans and actinopterygian fishes) using population genomic approaches (ddRAD sequencing). Thousands of genomic variants were used in two model genera, the Charcotia amphipod and the Trematomus fishes, to provide estimates of neutral and adaptive genetic variation and structure at different trophic levels and at a circumpolar scale. The results of the COPE project will contribute to our understanding of the spatial and functional distribution of biological variation in the Southern Ocean, required to develop suitable management and conservation strategies through CCAMLR.

Proceedings Reference Consumption patterns and living conditions in 18th century rural nunnery: an interdisciplinary study on the latrine of Clairefontaine (south-eastern Belgium) with special attention to botanical remains
The abbey of Clairefontaine, situated near Arlon in Belgium, was founded in the 13th century and destroyed during the French Revolution at the end of the 18th century. Although the abbey buildings were largely dismantled after the suppression of the community, archaeological research revealed the underground remains of the 18th century monastery. A latrine was discovered on the south side of the monastic complex and excavated for a detailed interdisciplinary study. Plenty of macro-botanical and faunal remains, glass and pottery have indeed been found throughout the profile; analyses of plant micro-remains were also performed. The major part of the archaeological remains dates between the second quarter and the end of the 18th century. Built over a narrow stream, the latrine underwent regular waste evacuation by the inflow of water. It is then supposed to give an insight into cabinet of the last generation of sisters present at Clairefontaine. A clear stratification is however observed with five different units delivering contrasted archaeobiological results. We will focus here on the archaeobotanical data, which will be discussed in detail and compared with archaeozoological and historical studies, in order to illustrate the lifestyle and the consumption in a rural nunnery from the 18th century.

Inproceedings Reference Contemporary population genetic differentiation in Melarhaphe neritoides (Gastropoda: Littorinidae), a long-lived planktonic-dispersing mollusc.
Marine invertebrates with planktonic-dispersing larvae are assumed to be good dispersers over long distances. This high dispersal capacity implies a high gene flow between populations and a homogeneous population genetic structuring over wide geographic scales.The marine gastropod Melarhaphe neritoides has a long-lived planktonic larval dispersal stage and allozyme data suggest that it is genetically homogeneous over its whole European distribution area. In contrast, preliminary mtDNA sequence data uncovered a remarkable degree of genetic diversity and genetic structuring on smaller geographic scales.In order to explore this mtDNA diversity and structuring in M. neritoides we started to survey sequence variation at COI and 16S rDNA all over the Azores archipelago. These data reveal that the Azorean populations share very few haplotypes.Hence, it seems that M. neritoides with its long-lived planktonic larval stage nevertheless shows a strong local population genetic structuring and thus challenges the current paradigm that correlates modes of larval development with levels of genetic structuring. It also stresses the importance of the sampling intensity (both in terms of numbers of specimens and genetic markers) to avoid experimental biases when assessing genetic diversity
