A simple and rapid device for measuring planktonic primary production by in situ sampling, and 14C injection and incubation

A system (LET GO) is described that enables measurements of primary production at sea after #in situ$ incubation, with 14C being injected at depth immediately after enclosure of the sample. Each incubation cell, about 200 ml, is made of two transpare...

Colony-colony interactions between highly invasive ants

Among invasive species, ants are a particularly prominent group with enormous impacts on native biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Globalization and on-going climate change are likely to increase the rate of ant invasions in the future, leading ...

Lack of nucleotide variability in a beetle pest with extreme inbreeding

The coffee berry borer beetle #Hypothenemus hampei$ (Ferrari) (#Curculionidae$ : #Scolytinae$) is the major insect pest of coffee and has spread to most of the coffee-growing countries of the world. This beetle also displays an usual life cycle, with...

Epibator insularis, a new species of scincid lizard from l'Ile Walpole, New Caledonia

A new species of skink in the genus Epibator is described from Ile Walpole, a small, isolated, raised vegetated limestone platform, similar to 200 km ESE of southern New Caledonia. The new species is distinguished from its congeners Epibator nigrofas...

Bleaching forces coral's heterotrophy on diazotrophs and Synechococcus

Coral reefs are threatened by global warming, which disrupts the symbiosis between corals and their photosynthetic symbionts (Symbiodiniaceae), leading to mass coral bleaching. Planktonic diazotrophs or dinitrogen (N-2)-fixing prokaryotes are abundan...

Nickel and ocean warming affect scleractinian coral growth

The sensitivity of corals and their Symbiodinium to warming has been extensively documented; however very few studies considered that anthropogenic inputs such as metal pollution have already an impact on many fringing reefs. Thus, today, nickel rele...

Response of phytoplankton to organic enrichment and shrimp activity in tropical aquaculture ponds : a mesocosm study

We conducted a mesocosm study to investigate the combined effect of organic enrichment and sediment resuspension by shrimp on phytoplankton communities in shrimp aquaculture ponds. Hence, the factorial design included 2 factors: (1) shrimp density wi...

Impacts of shrimp farm effluent on water quality, benthic metabolism and N-dynamics in a mangrove forest (New Caledonia)

Water quality parameters, sediment oxygen demand (SOD), dissolved organic and inorganic nutrient fluxes, and N-cycle processes (nitrification; denitrification; dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA)) were determined in a New Caledonian ma...

Fermentative hydrogen production by a new alkaliphilic Clostridium sp (strain PROH2) isolated from a shallow submarine hydrothermal chimney in Prony B...

The hydrogen-producing strain PROH2 pertaining to the genus Clostridium was successfully isolated from a shallow submarine hydrothermal chimney (Prony Bay, New Caledonia) driven by serpentinization processes. Cell biomass and hydrogen production perf...

Étude du statut et de la distribution des oiseaux des forêts humides de la Province Sud de la Nouvelle-Calédonie - Rapport final.

Étude ayant pour but de dégager des priorités en terme de conservation du patrimoine avifaunistique de la Nouvelle-Calédonie en étudiant le statut et la distribution des oiseaux des forêts humides et les menaces qui s'exercent sur eux.
