Biological data of pygmy killer whale (Feresa attenuata) from a mass stranding in New Caledonia (South Pacific) associated with hurricane Jim in 2006

Despite its distribution throughout the tropics and subtropics, the pygmy killer whale (Feresa attenuata) is one of the most poorly known species of odontocetes (Cetacea: Delphinidae). We used the opportunity of a mass stranding of six animals in New...

Robust assessment of population trends in marine mammals applied to New Caledonian humpback whales [plus Supplementary material]

Estimating population trends for long-lived, migratory animals is challenging but essential for managing populations. Here we propose using a simple but potentially robust method, the direct estimation of population growth rate (PGR) from capture-rec...

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...

Diurnal temporal patterns of the diversity and the abundance of reef fishes in a branching coral patch in New Caledonia

Small-scale spatial and temporal variability in animal abundance is an intrinsic characteristic of marine ecosystems but remains largely unknown for most animals, including coral reef fishes. In this study, we used a remote autonomous unbaited video ...

Released coral mucus does not enhance planktonic N-2 fixation rates

Dinitrogen (N-2) fixation by prokaryotic microorganisms provides bioavailable nitrogen in oligotrophic marine ecosystems such as coral reefs. The widespread though largely unknown heterotrophic diazotrophs require dissolved organic matter (DOM) for t...

Tidal variability of CO2 and CH4 emissions from the water column within a Rhizophora mangrove forest (New Caledonia)

We performed a preliminary study to quantify CO2 and CH4 emissions from the water column within a Rhizophora spp. mangrove forest. Mean CO2 and CH4 emissions during the studied period were 3.35 +/- 3.62 mmolC m(-2) h(-1) and 18.30 +/- 27.72 mu molC m...

Metabolomic variability of four macroalgal species of the genus Lobophora using diverse approaches

Among comparative metabolomic studies used in marine sciences, only few of them are dedicated to macroalgae despite their ecological importance in marine ecosystems. Therefore, experimental data are needed to assess the scopes and limitations of diff...

A record of mining and industrial activities in New Caledonia based on trace elements in rhodolith-forming coralline red algae

We investigate the ability of coralline red algae to record historical nickel mining activity that occurred between the early 1960s and 1981 in the Coulee River watershed, southwest New Caledonia. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectr...

Trichodesmium and other planktonic cyanobacteria in New Caledonian waters (SW tropical Pacific) during an El Nino episode

Contributions of filamentous and picoplanktonic cyanobacteria to the phytoplankton community structure were examined in New Caledonian waters during the 2001-2003 El Nino period at 2 ocean stations (Loyalty Channel and Santal Bay) and 1 coral-reef la...

Étude pilote sur la faisabilité d’équiper des dugongs de balises satellitaires afin d’étudier leurs déplacements en Nouvelle-Calédonie - Rap...

Peu d'information sont disponibles sur l'écologie spatiale du dugong dans le lagon néo-calédonien pour permettre la mise en place d'actions de conservation efficaces et adaptées à l'espèce. C'est pourquoi il est prévu dans le cadre du « plan ...
