Context: IRSN research programme ENVIRHOM-ECO April 23, 2012 - Public Doctoral Defense – Vrije Universiteit Mission statement: Evaluate long term effects of chronic exposure to radionuclides on the ecosystem. Major cities Mine tailing storage sites still in use in 1989 Uranium mines and mine tailings storage in France Mine tailing storage closed in in 1989

  9. Effects Enough Too much Internal concen-tration NEC DynamicEnergy Budget (DEB) Theory General unified theory in biology created over 30 years ago (Kooijman 1993, 2000, 2010) which specifies the acquisition and use of energy for all organisms. The theory respects mass and energy balancing. April 23, 2012 - Public Doctoral Defense – Vrije Universiteit Too little 0 0 NEC = No effect Internal Concentration

  25. Results: effects of uranium Feeding Digestion Allocation to reproduction is a continuous process Storage Spawning is discontinuous, but when the organism does not spawn the mass invested in reproduction remains inside the individual Maintenance Processes specified by the DEB model Growth Development When energy assimilated from food no longer covers maintenance then missing energy is taken from that invested in reproduction Reproduction Ageing 2000 1.2 1500 1 0.8 1000 0.6 500 0.4 0 0.2 0 10 20 30 40

  31. How do these results link back to the initial problem ? • Uranium turns out to be toxic and effects show up as soon as it is internalized. • The zebrafish DEB model is a very sensitive tool for detecting effects • The model is also useful for interpreting data and comparing studies • Effects on populations and ecosystems follow from effects on individuals

  32. Fromindividual to ecosystems … Fromindividual to molecules … Space
