To spot the mangrove Rivulus, it’s important to first identify the microhabitat they live in. For that, a deep observation of the mangrove is needed. This fish mostly lives where the black and red mangroves are present, where there is a little of water (between 25 and 35 ppt), a lot of mud and leaf…

New article published in Aquatic Toxicology
Our PhD student Elodie Falisse has published a research article in Aquatic Toxicology about the effects of the bactericide product Triclosan on zebrafish larvae. She combined multidisciplinary approaches such as physiology, biochemistry and proteomics. Main results suggest that triclosan might disturb the development of zebrafish larvae and induce compensatory mechanisms. The article can be found…
Two new articles published
LEAP has just published two new scientific articles that are now available online. First one is our first article related to epigenetics in the zebrafish and is the result of Jennifer Dorts work (with the help of Elodie Falisse ane Enora Flamion). We emphasize the effects of environmental stressors during the embryogenesis of this model…
Rivulus genome
The genome of our model species, the mangrove rivulus, has been published in Genome Biology and Evolution by a consortium of scientists including our colleague Ryan Earley (Univeristy of Alabama). This publication will improve our researches in proteomics and epigenetics in this amazing fish. http://gbe.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2016/06/18/gbe.evw145.abstract Download QR
New publication in Journal of Proteomics
A new scientific article has been accepted for publication in Journal of Proteomics. It shows up the last results obtained during the thesis of Kathleen Roland and introduces the concept of integrated biomarker index using proteomics for the monitoring of endangered species, such as the European eel.

The African Turquoise Killifish Genome
The African Turquoise Killifish Genome has been published in Cell. The authors reveals genes involved in aging and lifespan. These genes are clustered on the sex chromosome, suggesting that short lifespan might have co-evolved with sex determination. Download QR
New article published in Aquatic Toxicology
A new article entitled “Effects of cadmium exposure on the gill proteome of Cottus gobio:Modulatory effects of prior thermal acclimation” has been published in Aquatic Toxicology (IF:3.730) by our post-doc researher Jennifer Dorts : http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166445X14001593 Aquatic organisms such as fish are, in most cases, exposed to multiple stressors simultaneously or in sequence that are either…
