Biogeochemical fluxes and fate of diazotroph-derived nitrogen in the food web after a phosphate enrichment : modeling of the VAHINE mesocosms experime...

The VAHINE mesocosm experiment in the oligotrophic waters of the Noumea lagoon (New Caledonia), where high N-2 fixation rates and abundant diazotroph organisms were observed, aimed to assess the role of the nitrogen input through N-2 fixation in carb...

Net ecosystem CO2 exchange in the "Coeur de Voh" mangrove, New Caledonia : effects of water stress on mangrove productivity in a semi-arid climate

In New Caledonia, a world-renowned mangrove, the "Coeur de Voh", grows in a semi-arid climate and at a high elevation in the intertidal zone. Net CO2 exchange (NEE) between the Avicennia marina shrub mangrove and the atmosphere was studied using an e...

Sapotaceae biogeography supports New Caledonia being an old Darwinian island

AimPanbiogeographers suggest that the biome in New Caledonia is of vicariant origin, dating from the Cretaceous - rather than being the result of repeated dispersal since c. 37Ma, when the area is postulated to have re-emerged after c. 15million year...

Responses of two scleractinian corals to cobalt pollution and ocean acidification

The effects of ocean acidification alone or in combination with warming on coral metabolism have been extensively investigated, whereas none of these studies consider that most coral reefs near shore are already impacted by other natural anthropogeni...

Succession within the prokaryotic communities during the VAHINE mesocosms experiment in the New Caledonia lagoon

N-2 fixation fuels similar to 50% of new primary production in the oligotrophic South Pacific Ocean. The VAHINE experiment has been designed to track the fate of diazotroph-derived nitrogen (DDN) and carbon within a coastal lagoon ecosystem in a comp...

Heterotrophic bacterial production and metabolic balance during the VAHINE mesocosm experiment in the New Caledonia lagoon

Studies investigating the fate of diazotrophs through the microbial food web are lacking, although N-2 fixation can fuel up to 50% of new production in some oligotrophic oceans. In particular, the role played by heterotrophic prokaryotes in this tran...

"Liaisons dangereuses" : the invasive red-vented bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer), a disperser of exotic plant species in New Caledonia

The biodiversity hotspot of New Caledonia hosts high levels of endemism (74% of flora) that is threatened increasingly by climate change, habitat reduction, and invasive species. The fruit-eating red-vented bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer) is currently inva...

Whales in warming water : assessing breeding habitat diversity and adaptability in Oceania's changing climate

In the context of a changing climate, understanding the environmental drivers of marine megafauna distribution is important for conservation success. The extent of humpback whale breeding habitats and the impact of temperature variation on their avai...

Dissolved organic matter influences N-2 fixation in the New Caledonian lagoon (Western Tropical South Pacific)

Specialized prokaryotes performing biological dinitrogen (N-2) fixation ("diazotrophs") provide an important source of fixed nitrogen in oligotrophic marine ecosystems such as tropical and subtropical oceans. In these waters, cyanobacterial photosynt...

Distributions and abundances of sublineages of the N-2-fixing cyanobacterium Candidatus Atelocyanobacterium thalassa (UCYN-A) in the New Caledonian co...

Nitrogen (N-2) fixation is a major source of nitrogen that supports primary production in the vast oligotrophic areas of the world's oceans. The Western Tropical South Pacific has recently been identified as a hotspot for N-2 fixation. In the Noumea ...
