The purpose of the WaSAf project is to implement monitoring systems for freshwater ecosystems used for the drinking water supply and to

organize the sustainable management of these ecosystems.

This programme involves strong cooperation between French scientists and local teams and institutions in three African countries:

Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal and Uganda.

Low residual doses of pesticides can induce hormone effects leading to increases in pest populations. Our work on deltamethrin has shown this type of effect on the pest Spodoptera littoralis.

The MECA_HORMESE project aims to understand the mechanisms of hormesis in this species and to use a projection model to predict effects at the population level.

Fungus ants cause extensive damage to crops and agroforestry. There are currently two pesticides available on the world market. These synthetic

molecules are not specific and impact other insects as well as being dangerous for the environment and human health.

The objective of this project is to test natural molecules to regulate the populations of the ant Acromymrmex octospinosus.

This project aims to study the evolution of genes involved in the biosynthesis

and detection of sex pheromones in moths of the genus Spodoptera, which are

important crop pests.

This work will provide a better understanding of the evolution of pheromone communication

systems, which play an important role in the emergence of new species

Creation of an international consortium on

the inhibition of nitrification (BNI) by tropical grasses

In 2016, JC Lata was invited to Tsukuba, Japan to formalize the entry of iEESParis into the International Consortium on Biological

Nitrification Inhibition (BNI). BNI is a mechanism allowing grasses to inhibit nitrification in soils and has considerable agricultural

applications by improving nitrogen recycling and making agriculture more sustainable.

SOLéO-Ecosolutions: a start-up specialized in the bio-control of

fungus growing insects

Luc ABBADIEPU UPMCDirector of iEES-Paris

2016 was a pivotal year with the partial restructuration of our scientific organization and the regrouping of a large part of the institute in new and

specifically designed laboratories in Jussieu. The year was also characterized by an increase in our visibility and attractiveness for research, teaching and

for our partnerships with non-academic actors and stakeholders. It was a year of looking towards the future with the start of preparations for our

5-year evaluation that will take place at the end of 2017. In other words, after only three years, iEES is now fully functional and highly functional organization!

iEES-Paris aims at analysing and modeling the

organization, functioning and evolution of ecological

and environmental systems. It covers a wide range

of skills:

♦ population dynamics and biodiversity,

♦ community and ecosystem ecology,

♦ microbial ecology,

♦ ecology of social organisms,

♦ evolutionary ecology and process of adaptation

to the environment,

♦ ecology and communication mechanisms,

♦ soil and water sciences.

iEES-Paris develops generic theories on ecological

and environmental systems in order to predict their

dynamics in the context of global and local changes.

It contributes to innovation in the sustainable

management of biodiversity, ecosystems and

agroecosystems and biological resources, to promote

society's ecological transition.

iEES-Paris is funded by public research institutions

and universities, and creates short and medium

term partnerships with public authorities, private

companies and non-governmental organizations.

It is involved in basic research as well as in

multidisciplinary projects.

The IEES-Paris scientists teach ecology, evolutionary

and environmental sciences, and ecological

engineering in ten higher education institutions

of Paris region. They provide more than 10 000

hours of training per year, from the first year of the

bachelor of science to the PhD, and they ensure the

supervision of forty doctoral students and of more

than a hundred master students.
