This note states the number of grounded sperm whales on the French Atlantic coast and more especially on the coast of Vendée between 1900 and 2002.
Clé de détermination des Coléoptères Lucanides et Scarabéides de Vendée et de l’Ouest de la France
(2002)
It is an identification key of species of beetles called Lucanoideas and Scarabaeoideas already observed in Vendée and in Western France or likely to be found there some day or other. 160 species have been described, often illustrated with maps of their habitats in France.
Following the 1989-90 winter storms, remains of several straight-tusked elephants as well as a rich quaternary paleoflora were found on the strand of La Parée beach in Brétignolles-sur-Mer (Vendée, France). The story of these findings, the diggings of the bones, the dating and the paleoenvironment of the deposits are mentioned in this article. The sediments are old "peat bogs" which belong to two distinct eras : Pleistocene (peat bog holding the remains of straight-tusked elephants) and Holocene (peat bog showing tracks of Bovidae and prints of tools, and higher peat bogs).
Recent extension works of the quarry of La Gouraudière in Mauzé-Thouarsais (in Deux-Sèvres), and excavation works for the water reservoirs to irrigate the cereal fields in Le Bernard (in Vendée) led to the collection of an interesting fauna of ammonites among which several species are close to the téthysian ones.
The Revue des Sciences naturelles de l’Ouest was edited in the years 1891-97. Although poorly known, it contains valuable papers on the natural sciences in Western France, particularly in Vendée. After a short presentation, we give here the content tables of this periodical together with a list of public libraries where it can be found.
Tracks and faeces of otter are abundant around the lac du Jaunay (Vendée) but this animal is very fierce and nocturnal. Nevertheless, an otter was observed in very good condition at midday, in June. It was fishing in a small pound near the lake. This note describes the behaviour of this otter.
After 1985, the otter (Lutra lutra) was not found any more on the Sèvre Nantaise (France). From 1997, a careful exploration revealed presence signs of its presence showing the coming back of this mammal.
Observation d’une genette, Genetta genetta (Linné, 1758), sur les rives du lac du Jaunay en Vendée
(2001)
The diurnal observation of a Genet, such as the one made in the bocage of Vendée (France) related here, is exceptional because this small carnivore is said to be so shy and so exclusively nocturnal.
The Genet is a little carnivore whose status is not very well-known in Vendée (France). The methods for a county survey about these carnivores are set out in order to get information about its presence. The results will make it possible to map out an atlas showing where it is located and where it lives.
The Orchis simia is a rare orchid in Vendée (France). Historical data and the amount of books published about it are mentioned here. A new find on the limestone formation of Chantonnay has been added to the present distribution of species.
The writer mentions the existence of the Ophrys passionis in Loire-Atlantique and in Vendée (France), which are two countries where this Orchid had never be seen before. All the observations so far emphasize the hypothesis that this Orchid is different from the other related Orchids through its ability to adapt to a specific pollinator, Andrena carbonaria.
L’Ophrys petite araignée, Ophrys araneola Reichenbach 1831, redécouverte de l’espèce en Vendée
(2001)
The Ophrys araneola which had not been seen in Vendée (France) since 1993 was rediscovered in may 1993 among a colony of Ophrys sphegodes. The writer underlines the risks of eventually confusing the two species and mentions the different characteristics of each in order to avoid any confusion.
This article summarizes the observations of Odonatas gathered over the last fifteen years in Vendée. It results from collective research work by more than forty naturalists. A map locating each of the 58 species of Odonatas is given as well.
A first inventory of Yeu island’s Orthoptera (Vendée, France) allow us to list 23 species and 4 species of the allied orders Mantodea, Phasmodea and Dermaptera. A faunistic study was established on each species and a discussion gives an evaluation of the imprint of human activity on insular Orthoptera’s communities.
Background: The treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma patients consists of multimodal induction therapy to achieve remission followed by consolidation therapy to prevent relapses. However, the type of consolidation therapy is still discussed controversial. We applied metronomic chemotherapy in the prospective NB90 trial and monoclonal anti-GD2-antibody (MAB) ch14.18 in the NB97 trial. Here, we present the long term outcome data of the patient cohort. Methods: A total of 334 stage 4 neuroblastoma patients one year or older were included. All patients successfully completed the induction therapy. In the NB90 trial, 99 patients received at least one cycle of the oral maintenance chemotherapy (NB90 MT, 12 alternating cycles of oral melphalan/etoposide and vincristine/cyclophosphamide). In the NB97 trial, 166 patients commenced the MAB ch14.18 consolidation therapy (six cycles over 12 months). Patients who received no maintenance therapy according to the NB90 protocol or by refusal in NB97 (n = 69) served as controls. Results: The median observation time was 11.11 years. The nine-year event-free survival rates were 41 ± 4%, 31 ± 5%, and 32 ± 6% for MAB ch14.18, NB90 MT, and no consolidation, respectively (p = 0.098). In contrast to earlier reports, MAB ch14.18 treatment improved the long-term outcome compared to no additional therapy (p = 0.038). The overall survival was better in the MAB ch14.18-treated group (9-y-OS 46 ± 4%) compared to NB90 MT (34 ± 5%, p = 0.026) and to no consolidation (35 ± 6%, p = 0.019). Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed ch14.18 consolidation to improve outcome compared to no consolidation, however, no difference between NB90 MT and MAB ch14.18-treated patients was found. Conclusions: Follow-up analysis of the patient cohort indicated that immunotherapy with MAB ch14.18 may prevent late relapses. Finally, metronomic oral maintenance chemotherapy also appeared effective.
Der Stockberg bei Ottbergen, Kreis Höxter, wurde 1982 nach fast zwanzigjährigem Bemühen der Naturkundler unter Schutz gestellt. Bereits in den beiden über dieses Gebiet veröffentlichten Arbeiten von KOPPE (1962) und LEWEJOHANN (1964) wird die floristische Bedeutung des Berges hervorgehoben. BRINKMANN (1978) bezeichnet ihn gar als wertvollsten und artenreichsten Muschelkalkhang im gesamten Regierungsbezirk Detmold.
An der Abteilung Höxter der Universität -Gesamthochschule- Paderborn wurde 1977 der Fachhochschulstudiengang Landespflege eingerichtet. Im Juli 1980 wurde ich nach Höxter berufen, um das Lehrgebiet "Vegetationskunde (Pflanzensoziologie/-ökologie)" zu vertreten. Zum Aufgabenbereich gehört auch ein Teil des Lehrgebietes "Freilandpflanzenkunde, Pflanzenverwendung", und zwar der Bereich der einheimischen Wildpflanzen und der Pflanzensystematik.
