Characterising and modeling the co-evolution of transportation networks and territories
The identification of structuring effects of transportation infrastructure on
territorial dynamics remains an open research problem. This issue is one of the
aspects of approaches on complexity of territorial dynamics, within which
territories and networks would be co-evolving. The aim of this thesis is to
challenge this view on interactions between networks and territories, both at
the conceptual and empirical level, by integrating them in simulation models of
territorial systems.Comment: Doctoral dissertation (2017), Universit\'e Paris 7 Denis Diderot.

Area-wide Integrated Pest Management
Over 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides reach a destination other than their target species, including non-target species, air, water and soil. The extensive reliance on insecticide use reduces biodiversity, contributes to pollinator decline, destroys habitat, and threatens endangered species. This book offers a more effective application of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, on an area-wide (AW) or population-wide (AW-IPM) basis, which aims at the management of the total population of a pest, involving a coordinated effort over often larger areas. For major livestock pests, vectors of human diseases and pests of high-value crops with low pest tolerance, there are compelling economic reasons for participating in AW-IPM. This new textbook attempts to address various fundamental components of AW-IPM, e.g. the importance of relevant problem-solving research, the need for planning and essential baseline data collection, the significance of integrating adequate tools for appropriate control strategies, and the value of pilot trials, etc. With chapters authored by 184 experts from more than 31 countries, the book includes many technical advances in the areas of genetics, molecular biology, microbiology, resistance management, and social sciences that facilitate the planning and implementing of area-wide strategies. The book is essential reading for the academic and applied research community as well as national and regional government plant and human/animal health authorities with responsibility for protecting plant and human/animal health
