Can we generalize the determinants of dispersal across species?

Individuals disperse according to the resources and constraints of their current habitat patch. In turns, dispersal movements affect the local and regional stability of biological communities. This is revealed by seven parallel experiments concerning 21 taxa recently published in Nature Ecology & Evolution.

TULIP expands grows with the welcome arrival of a new unit: the Host-Pathogen-Environment Interactions laboratory

The TULIP perimeter increases with the arrival of the IHPE laboratory, which has long adopted an approach at the interface between infra- and supra-individual mechanisms. IHPE studies interacting biological systems involving various invertebrates of medical and veterinary (gastropod), aquaculture (bivalve) or ecological (coral) interest. Guillaume Mitta, Director of IHPE, presents his laboratory and their motivation to join the interdisciplinary dynamic of TULIP.

Ecology is first of all a science

Sébastien Barot (research director at the CNRS IEES-Paris, vice-president of the scientific council of the Foundation for Research on Biodiversity and president of the SFE² ) signed on 7 November a Tribune in the Science & Medicine pages of Le Monde. He underlines that "the words of the scientific community are often assimilated to ideological considerations, while they merely report on objective scientific results".

Intercellular communication regulates the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules

In an article published November 8, 2018 in the journal Current Biology, researchers from the LIPM (UMR CNRS / INRA) and the University of Leeds (UK) show that symplastic communication regulates the formation and colonization of nitrogen fixing nodules.

A New Frontiers project shows that the tiny fruit fly is able to culturally convey sexual preferences

An interdisciplinary consortium led by TULIP researchers shows that the tiny fruit fly (or Drosophila melanogaster) has the cognitive abilities to culturally transmit its sexual preferences between generations potentially leading to the emergence of cultural traditions of sexual preferences that can potentially persist over thousands of generations. That study published in the renowned journal Science provides the first experimental toolbox to study animal culture in any species, and suggests that the cultural process likely participated to the evolution of a vastly broader spectrum of species and over periods much longer than ever envisioned.

The XND1 gene controls the ability of Arabidopsis to respond to environmental stress

Resulting from a collaboration between the BPMP Montpellier laboratory (UMR CNRS/INRA/SupAgro/Univ Montpellier) and researchers of the LIPM (UMR CNRS/INRA) and of the IJPB Versailles laboratory (UMR INRA/AgroParisTech/CNRS/Univ. Paris-Saclay), an article published in September 2018 in the Nature Communications journal highlights the role of the XND1 transcription factor in the formation of root structures responsible for water transport, but also in the protection against a vascular bacterial pathogen.

The spatial scaling of species interaction networks

Interactions among species vary through space and time generating changes in ecological network structure as the scale of observation changes. This is what researchers from the Theoretical and Experimental Ecology Station (UMR 5321 CNRS/UPS) explain in an article published in the Nature Ecology & Evolution journal.

iMEAN, the startup emerging from TULIP that virtually rebuilds living organisms

Founded by two young researchers from the TULIP community - Lucas Marmiesse (CTO) and Rémi Peyraud (CEO) - the iMEAN start-up was born on September 3, 2018. Rémi Peyraud, arrived at the LIPM in 2012 thanks to a EMBO Scholarship, benefited from TULIP "New Frontiers" funding. Supported by INRA and CNRS through its installation within the development accelerator Toulouse White Biotechnology, this young company provides innovative tools in bioinformatics using virtual organisms and Artificial Intelligence algorithms.
