Regional circulation around New Caledonia from two decades of observations

The regional and near-coastal circulation around New Caledonia is investigated using a compilation of more than 20 years of observations. Velocity profiles acquired by Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (SADCP) during 109 research cruises an...

Integrative taxonomy of New Caledonian beetles : species delimitation and definition of the Uloma isoceroides species group (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae...

New Caledonia is an important biodiversity hotspot with much undocumented biodiversity, especially in many insect groups. Here we used an integrative approach to explore species diversity in the tenebrionid genus Uloma (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae, Ulo...

Rarefaction and elevational richness pattern: A case study in a high tropical island (New Caledonia, SW Pacific)

Aims. To analyse the elevational richness pattern of tree species in New Caledonian tropical rain forests and investigate how the richness pattern is affected by standardizing on area vs standardizing on number of individuals and by sample coverage. ...

Enhancement of coral calcification via the interplay of nickel and urease

Corals are the main reef builders through the formation of calcium carbonate skeletons. In recent decades, coral calcification has however been impacted by many global (climate change) and local stressors (such as destructive fishing practices and ch...

Remote sensing of Trichodesmium spp. mats in the western tropical South Pacific

Trichodesmium is the major nitrogen-fixing species in the western tropical South Pacific (WTSP) region, a hot spot of diazotrophy. Due to the paucity of in situ observations, remote-sensing methods for detecting Trichodesmium presence on a large scal...

Characterization and sources of colored dissolved organic matter in a coral reef ecosystem subject to ultramafic erosion pressure (New Caledonia, Sout...

The eastern lagoon of New Caledonia (NC, Southwest Pacific), listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, hosts the world's second longest double-barrier coral reef. This lagoon receives river inputs, oceanic water arrivals, and erosion pressure from ultr...

Biofilm and temperature controls on greenhouse gas (CO2 and CH4) emissions from a Rhizophora mangrove soil (New Caledonia)

Seasonal variations of CO2 and CH4 fluxes were investigated in a Rhizophora mangrove forest that develops under a semi-arid climate, in New Caledonia. Fluxes were measured using closed incubation chambers connected to a CRDS analyzer. They were perfo...

Compensating for geographic variation in detection probability with water depth improves abundance estimates of coastal marine megafauna

The probability of an aquatic animal being available for detection is typically < 1. Accounting for covariates that reduce the probability of detection is important for obtaining robust estimates of the population abundance and determining its status...

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...

Simultaneous combined XRF-XRD analysis of geological sample: New methodological approach for on-site analysis on New-Caledonian Ni-rich harzburgite

There is a growing interest in on-site, real-time analytical solutions for mining and environmental projects to characterize large areas and/or volumes of raw materials that are sometimes highly heterogeneous in terms of elemental distribution and mi...
