Abstract :
[en] The Pyrenean desman (Galemys pyrenaicus) is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to the Iberian Peninsula and the Pyrenees and classified as “vulnerable” by the IUCN. The aims of this PhD thesis, part of a National Action Plan, were to improve the knowledge on this species by the development of molecular tools (species identification by sequencing of a fragment of the cytochrome b gene and by RFLP, creation and amplification of polymorphic microsatellites). A genetic structure of three populations associated with low levels of genetic diversity has been evidenced in the French Pyrenees. In addition, the molecular analysis of its diet (COI gene) has allowed to identify its foraging areas and an individual survey on a stretch of river has revealed long distance movements unsuspected before. These results may direct conservation measures for this species.
