Late orogenic carboniferous extensions in the Variscan French Massif Central [PDF]
The Variscan French Massif Central experienced two successive stages of extension from Middle Carboniferous to Early Permian. In the northern Massif Central, the first stage began in the late Visean, immediately after nappe stacking, and is well recorded by Namurian‐Westphalian synkinematic plutonism.

Radioactivity as a driver of bacterial community composition in naturally radioactive mineral springs in the French Massif Central [PDF]
Some natural environments on Earth are characterised by high levels of radiation, including naturally radioelement enriched mineral springs in the French Massif Central.

Ionomic exploration of the geographical and geological origins of mountain pasture cow milks in the French Massif central [PDF]
Ionomic profiling was used to characterize the multielemental composition of raw cow milk during mountain pasture in the French Massif central, and to assess its potential as an indicator of geographical and geological origin.

Differential Effects of Viruses on the Growth Efficiency of Freshwater Bacterioplankton in Eutrophic Relative to Non-Eutrophic Lakes [PDF]
In aquatic environments, the consensus of viral impact on bacterial carbon metabolism with the nutrient environment as an important axis is limited. Henceforth, we explored the viral regulation of carbon-based bacterial growth efficiency (BGE) in a set ...

Structure of late Variscan Millevaches leucogranite massif in the French Massif Central: AMS and gravity modelling results [PDF]
In the Limousin area, Variscan leucogranitic plutons are spatially associated with normal faults and major strike-slip shear zones that are a continuation of the South Armorican shear zone. Our study focuses on the large N–S-trending Millevaches granitic massif (Massif Central, France), and intends to highlight, through gravity modelling, structural ...

Persistent paléosurfaces in the basement of French Massif Central: geodynamic implications.
The siderolithic paleoweathering surfaces of the French Central Massif have been dated to the Late Jurassic/Early Cretaceous, contrasting with previously accepted Tertiary age and implying that the Massif has never hosted a thick sedimentary cover. This contradicts with former thermochronological results. Herein, we expose the arguments for and against

Diatom fossils in mires: a protocol for extraction, preparation and analysis in palaeoenvironmental studies [PDF]
When fossil diatoms are preserved in mires, they can be excellent indicators of ecological conditions and very useful in palaeoenviromental reconstruction, both alone and in combination with other siliceous fossils.

Living in isolation for almost 40 years: molecular divergence of the 28S rDNA and COI sequences between French and Polish populations of the cave beetle Speonomus normandi hydrophilus (Jeannel, 1907) [PDF]
The paper gives the results of the first studies on the molecular divergence between native and non-native populations of Speonomus normandi hydrophilus (Jeannel, 1907).
