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...

Mesozoic history of the Fairway-Aotea Basin: Implications for the early stages of Gondwana fragmentation

The Fairway Ridge is a buried continental structure that separates the Fairway Basin from the New Caledonia Basin. The proposed Cretaceous age of the Fairway Basin has remained highly hypothetical to date. Deep offshore petroleum exploration wells re...

Assessing the impact of removing reserve status on the Abore Reef fish assemblage in New Caledonia

We propose a statistical approach based on multivariate analysis and general linear models to test the consequences of removal of reserve status from the Abore Reef fish assemblage of the Abore Reef reserve, New Caledonia. Consequences on fish densit...

Complex interplays among population dynamics, environmental forcing, and exploitation in fisheries

The patterns of variations in fisheries time series are known to result from a complex combination of species and fisheries dynamics all coupled with environmental forcing (including climate, trophic interactions, etc.). Disentangling the relative ef...

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...

Phytoplankton community structure in the VAHINE mesocosm experiment

The VAHINE mesocosm experiment was designed to trigger a diazotroph bloom and to follow the subsequent transfer of diazotroph-derived nitrogen (DDN) in the rest of the food web. Three mesocosms (50m(3)) located inside the Noumea lagoon (New Caledonia...

Circadian behaviour of Tectus (Trochus) niloticus in the southwest Pacific inferred from accelerometry

Background: Behaviour and time spent active and inactive are key factors in animal ecology, with important consequences for bioenergetics. For the first time, here, we equipped the gastropod Tectus (= Trochus) niloticus with accelerometers to describ...

Hydrodynamic time parameters response to meteorological and physical forcings : toward a stagnation risk assessment device in coastal areas

Identifying zones of stagnation and deposition of terrigenous matter or contaminants induced by human activity is a key issue in coastal areas. In this paper, circulation processes and potential contaminant stagnation and deposition zones were assess...

The nurse plant Acacia spirorbis enriches ectomycorrhizal community composition of a target species: Tristaniopsis calobuxus

We investigated the suitability of Acacia spirorbis Labill., a tropical ectomycorrhizal (ECM) tree, as a nurse plant to improve the growth of Tristaniopsis calobuxus Brongn. & Gris seedlings for the restoration of nickel mines in New Caledonia. Rehab...

Millennial-aged organic matter preservation in anoxic and sulfidic mangrove soils: Insights from isotopic and molecular analyses

Mangrove forests are known as coastal carbon sinks, but the long-term (millennium-scale) preservation processes of organic matter (OM) in their soils and the role of sulphur in these processes are still not fully understood. These processes are cruci...
