Avian eggshell mineralization: biochemical and functional characterization of matrix proteins

Yves Y. Nys, Joël Gautron, Juan Manuel Garcı́a-Ruiz et al. · 1 Oct 2004

La coquille de l’œuf de poule est une structure minérale parfaitement ordonnée, déposée dans un milieu acellulaire, le fluide utérin secrété par l’oviducte distal. La croissance sphérulique de calcite est initiée sur des sites organiques en surface des membranes coquillières et aboutit à une couche cristalline compacte par compétition pour l’espace entre sites adjacents. Les…

Biomineralisation in reef-building corals: from molecular mechanisms to environmental control

Denis Allemand, Christine Ferrier‐Pagès, Paola Furla et al. · 1 Oct 2004

Alors que les récifs coralliens forment de véritables oasis hébergeant environ un tiers des poissons décrits et constituent un atout majeur pour l’économie et le tourisme de nombreux pays tropicaux, il est curieux de constater que leur formation à l’échelle cellulaire ou de l’organisme est encore peu connue. Le processus à la base de leur…

Molluscan shell proteins

Frédéric Marin, Gilles Luquet · 21 Sep 2004

The shell secreted by molluscs is one of the most remarkable examples of a matrix-mediated mineralisation performed outside living tissues. The calcifying matrix is a mixture of proteins, glycoproteins, and polysaccharides that precisely self-assemble and control the CaCO3 polymorph (calcite, aragonite), the size, the shapes of the crystallites, and finally, the texture of the shell.…

Ebb and flow or regional extinctions? On the character of Neandertal occupation of northern environments

Jean‐Jacques Hublin, Wil Roebroeks · 6 Jun 2009

Au cours des derniers 500 000 ans, la lignée néandertalienne représente le premier groupe humain à coloniser de façon significative les moyennes latitudes d’Eurasie occidentale jusqu’à 55° N. Bien que les néandertaliens se soient adaptés à des environnements variés, leur capacité à survivre dans des environnements glaciaires extrêmes semblent avoir été très limitée. Au gré…

The recovery of terrestrial vertebrate diversity in the South African Karoo Basin after the end-Permian extinction

Roger M. H. Smith, Jennifer Botha · 26 Aug 2005

The southern half of the main Karoo Basin in South Africa contains an almost continuous stratigraphic record of terrestrial sedimentation through the Permo-Triassic boundary (PTB). Detailed logging of multiple sections through the boundary sequence has defined the end-Permian mass extinction event using vertebrate fossils as well as a synchronous change in fluvial style reflecting a…
