Abstract For the last 30 years, Wasmannia auropunctata (the little fire ant) has spread throughout Pacific and represents a severe threat to fragile island habitats. This invader often been described as disturbance specialist. Here we present data on its in dense native rainforest New Caledonia. We monitored by pitfall trapping litter ant fauna along an invasive gradient from edge inner forest July 1999 March 2000. When W. was present, abundance richness of ants drops dramatically. In...
Due to the unbalanced distribution of their fauna and flora, which leads creation a niche opportunities, it is generally accepted that island communities offer weak biotic resistance biological invasion. In order empirically test this statement, we compared resource use by ants in understorey an undisturbed New Caledonian rain forest recently invaded little fire ant, Wasmannia auropunctata . We tested exploitation of: (1) food sources placing baits on all trees with trunks greater than 5 cm...
Abstract 1. The biology of most invasive species in their native geographical areas remains largely unknown. Such studies are, however, crucial shedding light on the ecological and evolutionary processes underlying biological invasions. 2. present study focuses little fire ant Wasmannia auropunctata , a to Central South America that has been widely introduced which become throughout tropics. We characterise compare several traits populations French Guiana with those one its ranges, New...
The aim of this study was to explore the practices and perceptions Swiss home care professionals with regards written interprofessional communication. We analyzed 11 notebooks conducted six focus groups health-care in 2015–2016. Interprofessional communication rarely explicit. Health reported a lack clarity about what document for whom. They felt unsure how reconcile need confidential information-sharing among health desire patient/families’ active involvement. An ideal (electronic) tool...
Abstract The invasive ant species Wasmannia auropunctata displays both ecologically dominant and non‐dominant populations within its native range. Three factors could theoretically explain the ecological dominance of some W. : (i) clonal reproductive system, through demographic and/or adaptive advantages; (ii) unicolonial social organization, lower intraspecific efficient interspecific competition; (iii) human disturbance range, modification biotic abiotic environmental conditions. We used...
Abstract: We report here the first case of an efficient and specialized predator invasive ant species Wasmannia auropunctata : army Neivamyrmex compressinodis . Our results are based on a study that we conducted in French Guiana, part Wasmannia’s native range. When N workers attacked W nests, assaulted panicked left some them carrying brood. Nevertheless, during its raids , was able to capture nearly all brood winged sexuals, whereas none attacks by other sympatric were successful....
The COVID-19 epidemic represented a major challenge for the primary care sector. We present results of an interprofessional collaborative research endeavor conducted by ACCORD network to describe actors' and organizations' response first wave national lockdown in France.This work draws from quantitative qualitative material. data cross-analysis six online surveys carried out between March May 2020, among general practitioners, midwives, multi-professional organizations France. This was...
Anorexia Nervosa (AN) mainly affects adolescent girls and requires specialized, multidisciplinary care. In Geneva, the HUG's AliNEA unit pediatric hypnosis consultation have been collaborating since 2021 to integrate into management of AN. Hypnosis is seen as a complementary tool Maudsley therapeutic model, but not miracle solution. It needs be adapted each patient's individual different phases treatment : re-association with body, reinforcement motivation, exploration interpersonal...
Postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) is a frequent polymorphic clinical syndrome, poorly known and, as result, underdiagnosed especially in adolescents. It form of dysautonomia, but its exact physiopathology remains elusive. characterized by heterogeneous symptoms that accompany disproportionate upon the upright position. can significantly impact adolescents' quality life. Only Schellong test useful to make diagnosis; however additional testing frequently performed order exclude conditions...
