E-mail: [email protected] Received 19 June 2001; in revised form 7 August 2002; accepted 20 November 2002 Key words: running waters, insects, fish, typology Abstract Using the distribution patterns of benthic insects (198 species) and fishes ( 29 species) from 11 tributaries and the main channel of the Doubs River drainage basin (French Jura), the authors have tried to establish whether there is an organization of species into discrete, identifiable communities. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to identify whether a continuum existed, and also used to select 50 least-disturbed sites, which were used to define a theoretical watercourse. The density classes of each species were projected on this longitudinal gradient and each species response was characterised by two typological traits: its typological preferendum (tp) and its typological amplitude (ta), thus creating a synthesis of ecological characteristics. In the typological index given in the appendix, the 210 species which form a biological templet are listed in alphabetical order with their tp and ta values. These typological species traits are useful contributions to a database for running waters biomonitoring.

  • Sources, Rivers and a Museum Dedicated to the Painter Gustave Courbet
    Thematic excursion chtour Sources, rivers and a museum dedicated to the painter Gustave Courbet Departure at 9.00 from Berne, return to Berne at about 19.00. Registration requested. Saturdays and Sundays. For the same tour on a weekday please register six weeks in advance. The source of the river Loue in the French department number 25 (Doubs) is closer to Bern than Zurich airport. As we visit France, food is an issue. The French gastronomic menu is considered a part of the UNESCO world cultural heritage in 2010. During our reconnaissance tour for this excursion, we liked the simple lunch menu below. And because it did not only look good but also tasted good, we propose to eat lunch in that restaurant during our excursion. Three administrative regions of France have a border with Switzerland: Alsace, across the border from Basel, the Région Rhône-Alpes surrounding Geneva, and finally the Franche-Comté, probably less known. But there are links between Switzerland and the Franche-Comté. In 1475, when the Franche-Comté belonged to the Grand Duchy of Burgundy, Bernese troops destroyed and burned Montbenoît Abbey so thoroughly that it had to be abandoned for nine years and that Duke Charles the Bold invaded Switzerland with his army. But this led to his defeats at Grandson and Murten in 1476, to his own death in the battle of Nancy in 1477 and, after almost two hundred years, to the inclusion of the Franche-Comté into France. Today, many French work in the watch making industry in Switzerland in Le Locle, La Chaux-de-Fonds or in Vallée de Joux.

Michel BERT et James COSTA ; conseiller scientifique : M. Jean-Baptiste Martin) en coopération avec l’Institut national de recherche pédagogique (INRP), les laboratoires de recherche Interactions, corpus, apprentissages, représentations (ICAR) et Dynamique du langage (DDL), du Centre de dialectologie de Grenoble et de nombreuses associations, résulte d’une commande de la Région Rhône-Alpes. Cette étude a inspiré le rapport Reconnaître, valoriser, promouvoir l’occitan et le francoprovençal, langues régionales de Rhône-Alpes adopté par l’Assemblée plénière de la Région Rhône-Alpes en sa session des 8 et 9 juillet 2009. Elle comporte deux parties : la première est un état des lieux , d’un très grand intérêt scientifique, social et culturel. La seconde comporte des préconisations . Pour suggestives que soient celles-ci, elles n’ont pas vocation à être mises en œuvre par le seul Conseil régional (beaucoup d’entre elles ne concernent d’ailleurs pas son domaine de compétence) ni sur une seule mandature. Elles ont en revanche le mérite de constituer un tout cohérent, qui indique dans quelles conditions l’ensemble des acteurs – collectivités publiques, associations, enseignants, chercheurs, artistes, professionnels de la culture et des médias, et bien entendu et avant tout locuteurs de l’occitan et du francoprovençal – peuvent espérer transmettre aux générations futures ces langues qui font partie de notre patrimoine et sont en même temps une réalité vivante.

More than a beautiful Vauban citadel and the sculpture of the lion Bartholdi, which made the city famous, you will find a vibrant city with its wide shopping streets, its quaint squares, its Haussmanian buildings with handsome facades covered with geranium. Day 2 Belfort - Montbéliard You leave Belfort along the banks of the Savoureuse river. You can choose to continue straight along the canal or cross the forest and follow along the Rhine to the Rhone Canal. Bike Your bike route takes you to Sochaux and the Peugeot Museum. Discover this industrial 31km epic before entering the small Renaissance town Montbéliard. Climb to the castle of the Dukes of Württemberg, visit the Saint-Martin temple, the oldest religious building of the Reformation in France and stroll through the medieval streets admiring the houses with their colorful facades. Do not miss in the evening to taste the famous sausage of Montbéliard! Day 3 Montbéliard - Baume-les- Today your bike ride leads you to discover the beautiful loops of the river Doubs. First you Dames have to leave the city and Montbéliard to meander leisurely on bike paths the bucolic edges of this river. From Isle-sur-le-Doubs on the valley becomes majestic and very wild.

He had also some very modern ideas about industrial production, urban planning, and “territorial intelligence”. The project of the royal salt works (1775-79) was an opportunity to apply several very innovating ideas about economical organisation and social living. After the French Revolution, Ledoux planned an “ideal city” which continues to fascinate by its revolutionary vision of the future.

In addition to English industrial cities, with big brick buildings and smoking chimneys, there were also invisible industrialized spaces. The Jura Mountains, a low range of peaks varying in altitude between 800 and 1500 meters, offer a beautiful example of this "soft industrialization". This phenomenon, consisting of cottage industries and small factories along the riversides, developed on both sides of the mountain range : the Swiss side1 on the east and the French side on the west. This kind of production evolved without modifying the natural balance of the region, which remained essentially rural throughout the 19th century, with few towns exceeding 2000 inhabitants2.
