La thèse est composée de deux parties.Dans la première partie, nous allons étudier le flot quasi-invariant défini par une équation différentielle stochastique de Stratanovich avec le dérive ayant seulement la BV-régularitésur un espace euclidien, en généralisant des résultats de L. Ambrosio sur l'existence,unicité et stabilité des flots lagrangiens associés aux équations différentielles ordinaires[Invent. Math. 158 (2004), 227{260]. Comme une application d'un résultat de stabilité,nous allons construire une solution explicite à l'equation de transport stochastique enterme de flot stochastique. La différentiabilité approximative du flot sera aussi investie,lorsque le dérive possµede une régularité de Sobolev.Dans la deuxième partie, nous allons généraliser la théorie de DiPerna-Lions aux cas desvariétés riemanniennes complètes. Nous allons utiliser le semi-groupe de la chaleur pourrégulariser des fonctions et des champs de vecteur. L'estimation sur le commutateur seraobtenue par la méthode probabiliste. Une application de cette estimation est de prouverl'unicité des solutions à l'équation de transport à l'aide du concept des solutions renormal-isables. L'équation différentielle ordinaire associée à un champ de vecteur de régularité deSobolev sera enfin résolue en adoptant une méhode due à L. Ambrosio. La fin de cett par-tie consacre à la construction des processus de diffusion, par la méthode de la variation deconstante, sur une variété riemannienne complète, ayant comme générateur, un opérateurelliptique contenant le dérive non-régulier. Pour cela, nous allons donner des conditionssur la courbure pour que le flot horizontal canonique soit un flot de difféomorphismes / The thesis mainly consists of two parts.In the first part, we study the quasi-invariant flow generated by the Stratonovich stochas-tic differential equation with BV drift coefficients in the Euclidean space. We generalizethe results of Ambrosio [Invent. Math. 158 (2004), 227{260] on the existence, uniquenessand stability of regular Lagrangian flows of ordinary differential equations to Stratonovichstochastic differential equations with BV drift coefficients. As an application of the sta-bility result, we construct an explicit solution to the corresponding stochastic transportequation in terms of the stochastic flow. The approximate differentiability of the flow isalso studied when the drift coefficient has some Sobolev regularity.In the second part, we generalize the DiPerna-Lions theory in the Euclidean space to thecomplete Riemannian manifold. We define the commutator on the complete Riemannianmanifold which is a probabilistic version of the one in the DiPerna-Lions theory, andestablish the commutator estimate by the probabilistic method. As a direct applicationof the commutator estimate, we investigate the uniqueness of solutions to the transportequation by the method of the renormalized solution. Following Ambrosio's method, weconstruct the DiPerna-Lions flow on the Riemannian manifold. In order to construct thediffusion process associated to an elliptic operator with irregular drift on the completeRiemannian manifold, we give some conditions which guarantee the strong completenessof the horizontal flow. Finally, we construct the diffusion process with the drift coefficienthaving only Sobolev regularity.Besides, we present a brief introduction of the classical theory on the ordinary differentialequation in the smooth case and the quasi-invariant flow of homeomorphisms under theOsgood condition before the first part; and we recall some basic tools and results whichare widely used throughout the whole thesis after the second part.

De nombreuses espèces de poissons marins côtiers à forte valeur économique ont un cycle de vie complexe impliquant des migrations saisonnières entre l'environnement marin et les habitats côtiers. Une meilleure compréhension de leur cycle de vie, en particulier l'identification de leurs nourriceries clés, est vitale pour la gestion durable des stocks de poissons exploités. Cette étude évalue la fonction de nourricerie des lagunes côtières du Golfe du Lion (Méditerranée NO) pour la daurade royale, Sparus aurata, une espèce d'intérêt commercial, dont les juvéniles colonisent ces habitats chaque année pendant leur premier été de vie. La qualité en tant que nourriceries de quatre lagunes aux conditions environnementales contrastées a été estimée par des mesures de la condition (indices de Fulton et TAG:ST) et du taux de croissance (par otolithométrie) des juvéniles. Les résultats montrent une condition et une croissance des juvéniles plus importantes dans les deux lagunes les plus dessalées et peu profondes (Bages-Sigean et Mauguio) que dans les deux lagunes profondes aux salinités proches de celle de la mer (Salses-Leucate et Thau). Les différences spatiales, stables dans le temps, de signatures élémentaires des otolithes ont permis de valider ces dernières comme tag naturel pour discriminer les habitats des juvéniles de daurade royale. Ainsi, l'identification a posteriori des nourriceries colonisées au stade juvénile chez des adultes pêchés le long de la côte du Golfe du Lion a pu être réalisée. Les estimations de la contribution relative des habitats des juvéniles au stock d'adultes (selon la contribution absolue ou la contribution par unité de surface) révèlent l'importance globale des lagunes pour le maintien des populations. Les lagunes les plus dessalées ont été identifiées comme les meilleures nourriceries de la zone d'étude. Le rôle important de la lagune de Thau pour le maintien des stocks de poissons a également été mis en évidence. Les résultats dans leur ensemble montrent une certaine convergence entre les estimations d'exports potentiel et réel des habitats des juvéniles. Les conclusions de cette étude sont primordiales pour la gestion et la protection des habitats clés des juvéniles ainsi que les ressources exploitées qui en dépendent. / Many coastal marine species of major socio-economic importance exhibited complex life histories include seasonal migrations between offshore marine environments and inshore coastal habitats. An adequate scientific understanding of their life cycle and, in particular the identification of the most significant juvenile nursery grounds are urgently needed for the sustainable management of fish stocks. This present study investigated the nursery function of coastal lagoons in the Gulf of Lions (NW Mediterranean) for a valuable fish species, the gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata, whose juveniles colonize these habitats each year for feeding and growing over their critical first summer of life. Habitat quality of four contrasted lagoons was measured with body condition (Fulton and muscle TAG/ST indices) and otolith growth rate of juveniles. Results showed better condition and higher growth rates in juveniles inhabiting the two shallow and brackish lagoons (Bages-Sigean, Mauguio) compared to the two deeper and more saline lagoons (Salses-Leucate and Thau). Otolith elemental signatures were temporally validated as natural tags to discriminate among juvenile habitats, allowing the retrospective identification of juvenile origin of S. aurata adults captured along the Gulf of Lions coastline. The estimations of relative contributions of juvenile habitats to adult stocks revealed the overall significance of lagoons for the maintenance of population. While, brackish lagoons were identified as the major contributors and best nursery habitats in the area, the importance of Thau lagoon to sustain fish stocks was also highlighted. Combined results of this research revealed some agreement between potential and effective export estimates from juvenile habitats. Information derived from this study is highly valuable for the sustainable management and protection of juvenile habitats, and the fishery resources that depend on them.

Conservation biologists have used reintroduction as a method to reestablish extirpated species in their native habitat. Three important aspects of a successful reintroduction effort include: (1) a habitat suitability study of the reintroduction area, including effects of migration corridors; (2) identification of possible predators of the reintroduced species; and (3) a post-reintroduction assessment including an evaluation of the species' population dynamics. In this study I examine the suitability of Guadalupe Mountains National Park (GUMO) as a reintroduction area for desert bighorn sheep. The study used landscape metrics to compare GUMO to a nearby mountain range that is currently supporting an estimated population of 400 bighorn sheep. This study identified migration corridors for bighorns throughout the region and evaluated mountain lion (a potential predator of bighorn sheep) numbers either residing in or passing through the park between the years 1997 to 2004. Results on the studies in GUMO revealed 15,884 ha of suitable habitat for bighorn sheep and provided evidence of migration routes between GUMO and neighboring mountain ranges. In terms of potential predators, a minimum of 32 resident and/or transient mountain lions occurred in GUMO over a seven year period, and a minimum of 15 cats used the park in 2002. Based on estimates of individual home range of males and females, GUMO should be able to support four to five individuals. The genetic data indicates a high number of transients or perhaps an unstable population of mountain lions that may be the result of intense hunting pressure of cats in Texas. Finally, my study simulates parameters of the population dynamics of a different species, the Arabian oryx that was reintroduced as three separate populations to the Israeli Negev between 1998 and 2005. I simulated population growth and the effect of migration corridors on species persistence. Results suggest that migration corridors are essential for a self-sustaining viable metapopulation under current natality rates. In the event that natality rates increase (as was evident in a reintroduced population of Arabian oryx in Oman), metapopulation can reach viable size with only two of the release sites (open, flat terrain) connected by migration corridors.

In this work, we implemented the GHER hydrodynamic model in the Gulf of Lions (resolution 1/100°). This model is nested interactively in another model covering the North-Western basin of the Mediterranean Sea (resolution 1/20°), itself nested in a model covering the whole basin (1/4°). A data assimilation filter, called the SEEK filter, is used to test in which of those grids observations taken in the Gulf of Lions are best assimilated. Therefore, twin experiments are used: a reference run is considered as the truth, and another run, starting from different initial conditions, assimilates pseudo-observations coming from the reference run. It appeared that, in order to best constrain the coastal model, available data should be assimilated in that model. The most efficient setup, however, is to group all the state vectors from the 3 grids into a single vector, and hence coherently modify the 3 domains at once during assimilation cycles. Operational forecasting with nested models often only uses so-called passive nesting: no data feedback happens from the regional models to the global model. We propose a new idea: to use data assimilation as a substitute for the feedback. Using again twin experiments, we show that when assimilating outputs from the regional model in the global model, this has benecial impacts for the subsequent forecasts in the regional model. The data assimilation method used in those experiments corrects errors in the models using only some privileged directions in the state space. Furthermore, these directions are selected from a previous model run. This is a weakness of the method when real observations are available. We tried to build new directions of the state space using an ensemble run, this time covering only the Mediterranean basin (without grid nesting). This led to a quantitative characterization of the forecast errors we might expect when various parameters and external forcings are affected by uncertainties. Finally, using these new directions, we tried to build a statistical model supposed to simulate the hydrodynamical model using only a fraction of the computer resources needed by the latter. To achieve this goal, we tried out artifficial neural networks, nearest-neighbor and regression trees. This study constitutes only the first step toward an innovative statistical model, as in its present form, only a few degrees of freedom are considered and the primitive equation model is still required to build the AL method. We tried forecasting at 2 different time horizons: one day and one week.

Para tanto, buscamos construir uma perspectiva que articule um olhar sobre os programas de efeitos dos filmes e sobre maneira como sua composição específica mobiliza seu espectador, com base na Poética do Filme (Gomes, 1996, 2004a, 2004b); a sociologia dos produtores culturais, presente em Bourdieu (1996), que nos permite entrever como a posição ocupada pelos criadores no campo do filme publicitário influencia suas possibilidades de criação e suas decisões estilísticas; e a noção de estilo em Bordwell (2008), que nos convoca a observar de que maneira as escolhas dos criadores estão presente nestas obras e como se relacionam com outros cânones do campo. Partimos da ideia de que o processo de criação de um filme publicitário está atravessado por três instâncias distintas, a saber, a agência publicitária, a produtora audiovisual e a empresa anunciante, e trabalhamos com a hipótese de que a análise do estilo de um filme publicitário demanda a compreensão das relações de poder que se estabelecem entre estas três instâncias, que a cada caso resulta em um arranjo autoral específico, por sua vez observável como marcas estilísticas nos filmes. Consideramos ainda, nesta análise, as relações entre o estilo das obras, o capital simbólico acumulado das instâncias autorais e seu processo de consagração no interior do campo, sobretudo através das premiações, tomando como locus de observação principal o Cannes Lions Festival. Neste processo, localizamos o lugar de autoria que cabe a cada uma das instâncias que participam da criação e produção dos filmes. No intuito de demonstrar o ponto de vista que se pretendeu construir, analisamos dois filmes publicitários criados pela agência brasileira AlmapBBDO para a Volkswagen do Brasil, reconhecidos com prêmios importantes em Cannes e outras instâncias de consagração: “Cachorro-peixe” (2009), produzido pela Rebolucion, da Argentina; e “Últimos Desejos da Kombi” (2014), produzido pela Spray Filmes, do Brasil.
