Summary Marine picoplankton contribute to global carbon sequestration and nutrient recycling. These processes are directly related to the composition of communities, which in turn depends on microbial interactions and environmental forcing. Under regular seasonal cycles, marine communities show strong predictable patterns of annual re‐occurrences, but little is known about the effect of environmental perturbation on their orga...

To increase the knowledge about S. capitis in the neonatal setting, we conducted a nationwide 3-month survey in 38 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) covering 56.6% of French NICU beds. We demonstrated 14.2% of S. capitis BSI ( S.cap BSI) among nosocomial BSIs. S.cap BSI incidence rate was 0.59 per 1000 patient-days. A total of 55.0% of the S.cap BSIs were late onset catheter-related BSIs. The S. capitis strains infected pr...

Two variants of a biophysical site index model were derived for two shade-tolerant boreal species (Abies balsamea [L.] Mill., and Picea mariana [Mill.] BSP), and two shade-intolerant boreal species (Populus tremuloides Michx., and Betula papyrifera Marsh.). The reduced model is based on the widely used assumption that the relationship between height and age of dominant trees depends solely on site properties: i.e., four climat...
