The European Modern Pollen Database (EMPD) project

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis, Pamela Collins, Achille Mauri

Modern pollen samples provide an invaluable research tool for helping to interpret the quaternary fossil pollen record, allowing investigation of the relationship between pollen as the proxy and the environmental parameters such as vegetation, land-use, an ...

The segmentation clock: Inherited trait or universal design principle?

Andrew Charles Oates

Metamerism is a widespread feature of multicellular body plans; however, our understanding of the underlying mechanisms that generate these patterns is currently based on only a few model organisms. In particular, vertebrate embryos use a segmentation cloc ...

Accumulation of pollutants and plant wellness: bottleneck or key to a successful phytoremediation?

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

Plants have efficient mechanisms for detoxification and sequestration of xenobiotic chemicals and trace elements, basis of any efficient phytoremediation process. However the amount of pollutants that can be accumulated and detoxified without disrupting th ...

Effects of Subordinate Plant Species in Plant and Soil Community Structure and Ecosystem Functioning

Pierre Rémi Mariotte

The relevance of biodiversity to human health is an increasing international political issue as it causes concern for ethical and aesthetic reasons, but also has a strong impact on ecosystem properties and ecological goods and services utilised by humanity ...

On the Use of Models for Real-Time Optimization

Dominique Bonvin

The operation of dynamic processes can be optimized using models that predict the system behavior well, in particular its optimality features. In practice, however, process models are often structurally inaccurate, and on-line adaptation is typically requi ...

Plant traits across different habitats of the Italian Alps: a comparative analysis between native and alien species

Luca Bragazza

While it is well known that the success of alien plants in new environments greatly depends on their functional traits, to date only a few other studies have tested whether coexisting alien and native species show converging or diverging functional attribu ...

Phytochrome interacting factors 4 and 5 control seedling growth in changing light conditions by directly controlling auxin signaling

Jacques Rougemont, Ioannis Xenarios, Christian Fankhauser

Plant growth is strongly influenced by the presence of neighbors that compete for light resources. In response to vegetational shading shade-intolerant plants such as Arabidopsis display a suite of developmental responses known as the shade-avoidance syndr ...

Relatedness and scale dependency in very high resolution digital elevation models derivatives

Stéphane Joost, Kevin Leempoel

In the field of landscape genetics, environmental variables are needed to assess the influence of the environment on the spatial distribution of the genetic information of animals or plants. However, measuring variables (e.g. temperature, precipitation) at ...

Real-Time Optimization in the Presence of Uncertainty

Dominique Bonvin

This presentation discusses real-time optimization (RTO) strategies for improving process performance in the presence of uncertainty in the form of plant-model mismatch, drifts and disturbances. RTO typically uses a plant model to compute optimal inputs. I ...

How do plant community ecologists consider the complementarity of observational, experimental and theoretical approaches ?

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, François Gillet, Thomas Spiegelberger, Aurélie Thébault

Background and aims -- A panoply of methods are used by ecologists for studies at the plant community level. While early studies were mainly descriptive, more manipulative experiments are now being undertaken because they provide a more functional approach ...
