Intégrant la compréhension de la dynamique des écosystèmes et la recherche en écologie des populations, l'étude des peuplements est devenue une approche fondamentale de l'écologie. R. Barbault en propose ici une synthèse, véritable introduction écologique à la dynamique de la biodiversité.
Cuvier’s gazelle (Gazella cuvieri) is a species endemic to North Africa, with its distribution being limited to Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. The species is listed on CITES Appendix I and CMS Appendix I, within the framework of which the CMS Sahelo-Saharan Antelopes Action Plan was developed.
The material within these proceedings represents a summary for 2009–2016 on the state of knowledge and conservation concerns for polar bears throughout their range. The difficulties in studying a species that ranges widely, at low densities, and in one of the world’s most remote and environmentally challenging regions is evident in these proceedings. This report describes the current and future challenges and the conservation efforts needed to ensure the survival of polar bears.
