Evolution of dissolved and particulate chromophoric materials during the VAHINE mesocosm experiment in the New Caledonian coral lagoon (south-west Pac...

In the framework of the VAHINE project, we investigated the spectral characteristics and the variability of dissolved and particulate chromophoric materials throughout a 23-day mesocosm experiment conducted in the south-west Pacific at the mouth of t...

Considering multiple-species attributes to understand better the effects of successive changes in protection status on a coral reef fish assemblage

The response of fish assemblages to changes in protection status is a major issue for both biodiversity conservation and fishery management. In New Caledonia, the Abore reef marine reserve harbours more than 500 fish species, and has been subjected t...

Genetic diversity, clonality and connectivity in the scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis: a multi-scale analysis in an insular, fragmented reef...

Clonality and genetic structure of the coral Pocillopora damicornis sensu lato were assessed using five microsatellites in 12 populations from four islands of the Society Archipelago (French Polynesia) sampled in June 2008. The 427 analysed specimens...

Foraminifera in the diet of coral reef fish from the lagoon of New Caledonia : predation, digestion, dispersion

Les foraminifères benthiques marins sont abondants et représentent une source de nourriture potentielle pour les poissons. Les études précédentes des foraminifères dans le régime alimentaire des poissons se sont appuyées sur de petits nombres...

Economic valuation of ecosystem services from coral reefs in the South Pacific : taking stock of recent experience

The economic valuation of coral reefs ecosystem services is currently seen as a promising approach to demonstrate the benefits of sustainable management of coral ecosystems to policymakers and to provide useful information for improved decisions. Mos...

Gymnocranius superciliosus and Gymnocranius satoi, two new large-eye breams (Sparoidea : Lethrinidae) from the Coral Sea and adjacent regions

Two related perciform fish species of the subfamily Monotaxinae (Sparoidea: Lethrinidae) Gymnocranius superciliosus sp. nov. and Gymnocranius satoi sp. nov. are described from specimens and tissue samples from the Coral Sea and adjacent regions. G. s...

Accumulation of nine metals and one metalloid in the tropical scallop Comptopallium radula from coral reefs in New Caledonia

Uptake of waterborne Cd, Co, Mn and Zn was determined in laboratory experiments using radiotracer techniques (Cd-109, Co-57, Mn-54 and Zn-65). Labelled Zn was mainly accumulated in the digestive gland (65%) and Co in kidneys (81%); Cd and Mn were sim...

Ephemeral and localized outbreaks of the coral predator Acanthaster cf. solaris in the southwestern lagoon of New Caledonia

Outbreaks of the coral predator Acanthaster spp., the crown-of-thorns seastar (COTS), cause major coral declines across the Indo-Pacific. However, the processes surrounding the initiation and propagation of COTS outbreaks are still unclear. We observ...

Distributions and abundances of sublineages of the N-2-fixing cyanobacterium Candidatus Atelocyanobacterium thalassa (UCYN-A) in the New Caledonian co...

Nitrogen (N-2) fixation is a major source of nitrogen that supports primary production in the vast oligotrophic areas of the world's oceans. The Western Tropical South Pacific has recently been identified as a hotspot for N-2 fixation. In the Noumea ...

Application of the support vector regression method for turbidity assessment with MODIS on a shallow coral reef lagoon (Voh-Kone-Pouembout, New Caledo...

Particle transport by erosion from ultramafic lands in pristine tropical lagoons is a crucial problem, especially for the benthic and pelagic biodiversity associated with coral reefs. Satellite imagery is useful for assessing particle transport from ...
