The geographical patterns of symbiont diversity in the invasive legume Mimosa pudica can be explained by the competitiveness of its symbionts and by t...

Variations in the patterns of diversity of symbionts have been described worldwide on Mimosa pudica, a pan-tropical invasive species that interacts with both alpha and beta-rhizobia. In this study, we investigated if symbiont competitiveness can expl...

Variability in diel and seasonal in situ metabolism of the tropical gastropod Tectus niloticus

Researchers often use metabolic measurements in the field over narrow time periods to estimate an organism's metabolism over large time scales. Here, we measured in situ respiration, calcification and excretion rates of the tropical gastropod Tectus ...

XAS evidence for Ni sequestration by siderite in a lateritic Ni-deposit from New Caledonia

Mineralogical and spectroscopic analyses were conducted on a lateritic Ni-deposit from Southern New Caledonia. Results show that Ni is incorporated in siderite (FeCO3) found between 37 and 40 m depth in the laterite and saprolite units of the regolit...

Assessing the design and power of capture-recapture studies to estimate demographic parameters for the Endangered Oceania humpback whale population

Capture-recapture studies offer a powerful tool to assess abundance, survival and population rate of change (lambda). A previous capture-recapture study, based on DNA profiles, estimated that the IUCN-listed Endangered Oceania population of humpback ...

Xestospongin B, a competitive inhibitor of IP3-mediated Ca2+ signalling in cultured rat myotubes, isolated myonuclei, and neuroblastoma (NG108-15) cel...

Xestospongin B, a macrocyclic bis-1-oxaquinolizidine alkaloid extracted from the marine sponge Xestospongia exigua, was highly purified and tested for its ability to block inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-induced Ca2+ release. In a concentration-de...

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...

Total phenolic, size-fractionated phenolics and fucoxanthin content of tropical Sargassaceae (Fucales, Phaeophyceae) from the South Pacific Ocean : sp...

This innovative study investigates 18 Turbinaria and Sargassum brown seaweed samples from three archipelagos of the South West Pacific Ocean. The phenolic content of crude and size-fractionated extracts was determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method; f...

Isotopic records from archeological giant clams reveal a variable climate during the southwestern Pacific colonization ca. 3.0 ka BP [Plus Corrigendum...

The Lapita colonization,which occurred in the late Holocene, is one of the most remarkable prehistorical human colonizations. To explore the possible influence of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on this event, bulk oxygen (δ18Oshell) ...

Goethite aging explains Ni depletion in upper units of ultramafic lateritic ores from New Caledonia

An upward loss of Ni is commonly reported in the oxide-rich unit of Ni-laterite deposits developed over ultramafic rocks in tropical regions, especially in freely drained and deeply weathered regoliths. Because goethite is the major mineral constitue...

Genetic diversity and phylogeny of Aedes aegypti, the main arbovirus vector in the Pacific

Background The Pacific region is an area unique in the world, composed of thousands of islands with differing climates and environments. The spreading and establishment of the mosquito Aedes aegypti in these islands might be linked to human migration...
