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...

Processes driving the adaptive radiation of a tropical tree (Diospyros, Ebenaceae) in New Caledonia, a biodiversity hotspot

Due to its special geological history, the New Caledonian Archipelago is a mosaic of soil types, and in combination with climatic conditions this results in a heterogeneous environment across relatively small distances. A group of over 20 endemic spe...

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) ...

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 ...

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...

Trait coordination, mechanical behaviour and growth form plasticity of Amborella trichopoda under variation in canopy openness

Understanding the distribution of traits across the angiosperm phylogeny helps map the nested hierarchy of features that characterize key nodes. Finding that Amborella is sister to the rest of the angiosperms has raised the question of whether it sha...

Vulnerability to xylem embolism as a major correlate of the environmental distribution of rain forest species on a tropical island

Increases in drought-induced tree mortality are being observed in tropical rain forests worldwide and are also likely to affect the geographical distribution of tropical vegetation. However, the mechanisms underlying the drought vulnerability and env...

Metagenomic and PCR-based diversity surveys of [FeFe]-hydrogenases combined with isolation of alkaliphilic hydrogen-producing bacteria from the serpen...

High amounts of hydrogen are emitted in the serpentinite-hosted hydrothermal field of the Prony Bay (PHF, New Caledonia), where high-pH (similar to 11), low-temperature (< 40 degrees C), and low-salinity fluids are discharged in both intertidal and s...

Population dynamics in some rainforests on ultramafic soils in New Caledonia and their impact on patterns of canopy richness;Deuxième conférence int...

Permanent plots are being established in monodominant and mixed rainforests over a range of altitudes on ultramafic soils in New Caledonia to investigate the factors determining canopy richness. Initial studies are examining the dynamics of the major...

Effects of Oceanic Salinity on Body Condition in Sea Snakes

Since the transition from terrestrial to marine environments poses strong osmoregulatory and energetic challenges, temporal and spatial fluctuations in oceanic salinity might influence salt and water balance (and hence, body condition) in marine tetr...
