Acknowledgements

The CAQ network was initiated thanks to funds provided by the French Ministry of Agriculture. Thanks are also due to the INRA EFPA division for its intellectual support and recently for its (small but nonetheless significant) financial contribution. We wish to thank Yves Dumont for the fruitful discussions and constructive editing of an earlier version of this introductory paper.
