Avec le Paléolithique supérieur, de nombreuses données éclairent les fonctions symboliques. Au-delà des seules activités techniques, il est possible de restituer certains éléments d’une pensée mythique, analogue à celle décrite par les ethnologues ou les historiens des religions. Leur étude ne permet pas de retrouver les mythes racontés, mais bien d’envisager lucidement leur nature et leur rôle fondamental pour le fonctionnement des sociétés paléolithiques. Dans les années 1990, la découverte de la grotte Chauvet a remis en cause l’évolution linéaire de l’art pariétal établie par André Leroi-Gourhan. La découverte récente de peintures très similaires en Roumanie, dans la grotte de Coliboaia, permet de compléter l’approche des phases initiales de cet art. Les similitudes entretenues entre les images de ces deux grottes poussent à retourner vers la notion de mythe. [less ▲]

Differential effects of aging on the neural correlates of recollection and familiarity

The present experiment aimed to investigate age differences in the neural correlates of familiarity and recollection, while keeping performance similar across age groups by varying task difficulty. Twenty young and twenty older adults performed an episodic memory task in an event-related fMRI design. At encoding, participants were presented with pictures, either once or twice. Then, they performed a recognition task, with a Remember/Know paradigm. A similar performance was observed for the two groups in the Easy condition for recollection and in the Hard condition for familiarity. Imaging data revealed the classic recollection-related and familiarity-related networks, common to young and older groups. In addition, we observed that some activity related to recollection (left frontal, left temporal, left parietal cortices and left parahippocampus) and familiarity (bilateral anterior cingulate, right frontal gyrus and left superior temporal gyrus) was reduced in older compared to young adults. However, for recollection processes only, older adults additionally recruited the right precuneus, possibly to successfully compensate for their difficulties, as suggested by a positive correlation between recollection and precuneus activity.

Meiofauna and harpacticoid copepods in different habitats of a Mediterranean seagrass meadow

This study investigated whether associated meiobenthic communities, especially harpacticoid copepods differed, amongst habitats. Five pre-defined habitats within and next to the Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadow were sampled: living seagrass canopy leaves (LL), small (SMF) and large (LMF) macrophytodetritus fragments accumulations and sand, bare (BS) and covered (CS). The highest meiofauna abundances were recorded in the BS for the core sampled habitats (BS, CS, SMF and LMF) and in the LMF for seagrass material habitats (SMF, LMF and LL). Harpacticoid copepods were the most abundant taxon in all habitats. The assemblage composition at copepod family level showed two distinct habitats clusters: a leaf (LMF and LL) and a sediment cluster (BS, CS and SMF). Subsequently, stable isotope analyses were conducted to analyse the relationship between copepods and their potential food sources in seagrass material habitats. Based on δ13C isotopic analyses and SIAR mixing model, harpacticoid copepods relied for 70% on epiphytes and for 30% on P. oceanica leaf material in the LMF and LL habitats. [less ▲]

Marine vertebrate remains from the Toarcian-Aalenian succession of southern Beaujolais, Rhône, France

A previously undocumented marine vertebrate fauna comprising ichthyosaur, plesiosaur, marine crocodilian and fish remains from the Toarcian-Aalenian succession at Lafarge quarry, southern Beaujolais, Rhône, France is described on the basis of both historical collections and new discoveries. The taxonomic composition of the Lafarge quarry marine vertebrate assemblage highlights its cosmopolitan nature and strong relationships with taxa known from elsewhere in Europe. Several groups are recorded for the first time in the Toarcian-Aalenian succession of France, implying new palaeobiogeographic interpretations, and prompting discussion of marine amniote diversity during this interval.
