Endangered New Caledonian endemic mushroom coral Cantharellus noumeae in turbid, metal-rich, natural and artificial environments

Since its description in 1984, little attention has been paid to the New Caledonian endemic mushroom coral Cantharellus noumeae (Fungiidae), an IUCN Red-listed, endangered coral species. Our study presents the first ever quantitative assessment condu...

Unexpected high vulnerability of functions in wilderness areas : evidence from coral reef fishes

High species richness is thought to support the delivery of multiple ecosystem functions and services under changing environments. Yet, some species might performunique functional roles while others are redundant. Thus, the benefits of high species r...

An optimised passive acoustic sampling scheme to discriminate among coral reefs' ecological states

In the present era of rapid global change, innovative monitoring methods can greatly enhance our ability to detect ecological disturbances and prioritise conservation areas in a timely and cost-effective manner. While Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM...

Effects of fishing on fish assemblages in a coral reef ecosystem : from functional response to potential indicators

Many Pacific countries face socio-economic changes, resulting in an increase in fishing pressure on reef fish resources. In coral reef environments, examining the ecological effects of fishing on fish assemblages is generally hampered by the lack of ...

Taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of the coral genera Australomussa and Parascolymia (Scleractinia, Lobophylliidae)

Novel micromorphological characters in combination with molecular studies have led to an extensive revision of the taxonomy and systematics of scleractinian corals. In the present work, we investigate the macro- and micromorphology and the phylogenet...

The three steps of the carbonate biogenic dissolution process by microborers in coral reefs (New Caledonia)

Biogenic dissolution of carbonates by microborers is one of the main destructive forces in coral reefs and is predicted to be enhanced by eutrophication and ocean acidification by 2100. The chlorophyte Ostreobium sp., the main agent of this process, ...

Assessing threats from coral and crustose coralline algae disease on the reefs of New Caledonia

The present study reports the results of the first quantitative survey of lesions on coral and crustose coralline algae (CCA) on reefs in the lagoon of New Caledonia. Surveys on inshore and offshore reefs were conducted at 13 sites in 2010, with 12 s...

How accessible are coral reefs to people ? A global assessment based on travel time

The depletion of natural resources has become a major issue in many parts of the world, with the most accessible resources being most at risk. In the terrestrial realm, resource depletion has classically been related to accessibility through road net...
