Correlations between leaf toughness and phenolics among species in contrasting environments of Australia and New Caledonia

Background and Aims: Plants are likely to invest in multiple defences, given the variety of sources of biotic and abiotic damage to which they are exposed. However, little is known about syndromes of defence across plant species and how these differ ...

Structural and floristic diversity of mixed tropical rain forest in NewCaledonia: Newdata from the New Caledonian Plant Inventory and Permanent Plot N...

Aims To describe the structural and floristic diversity of New Caledonian mixed tropical rain forest and investigate its environmental determinants. Location New Caledonia (SW Pacific), a biodiversity hotspot. Methods Structural (stem density, basal ...

Environmental correlates for tree occurrences, species distribution and richness on a high-elevation tropical island

High-elevation tropical islands are ideally suited for examining the factors that determine species distribution, given the complex topographies and climatic gradients that create a wide variety of habitats within relatively small areas. New Caledoni...

Proteinaceous exotoxins of shrimp-pathogenic isolates of Vibrio penaeicida and Vibrio nigripulchritudo

The pathogenicity of two V. penaeicida strains, AM101 and KH-1, with different geographic origin, and V. nigripulchritudo strain AM102, were investigated in juvenile blue shrimp species Litopenaeus stylirostris. Alive bacteria and protein fractions (...

A moderate melting model for the Voring margin (Norway) based on structural observations and a thermo-kinematical modelling: Implication for the meani...

High P-wave velocities (7.1-7.8 km/s) lower crustal bodies (LCBs) imaged along volcanic margins are commonly interpreted as plume and break-up-related thick mafic underplating. This interpretation is partly challenged in this paper based on new seism...

An updated checklist of the marine fish fauna of Reunion Island, South-Western Indian Ocean

The ichthyofauna of Reunion Island, Southwestern Indian Ocean, was sampled during several ecological and artisanal fisheries studies. Information from these investigations and from other sources were included to compile the present checklist of the m...

Designing indicators for assessing the effects of marine protected areas on coral reef ecosystems: A multidisciplinary standpoint

The present paper aims at identifying and assessing indicators of the effects of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in coral reef regions, based on a bibliography review in ecology, economics and social sciences. First the various effects Studied within e...

Biogeochemical and biological impacts of diazotroph blooms in a low-nutrient, low-chlorophyll ecosystem : synthesis from the VAHINE mesocosm experimen...

In marine ecosystems, biological N-2 fixation provides the predominant external source of nitrogen (N; 140aEuro-+/- aEuro-50aEuro-TgaEuro-NaEuro-yr(-1)), contributing more than atmospheric and riverine inputs to the N supply. Yet the fate and magnitu...

Morphology and distribution of dolines on ultramafic rocks from airborne LiDAR data : the case of southern Grande Terre in New Caledonia (SW Pacific)

Dolines are closed geomorphological depressions which are surface manifestations of karstic systems. Usually developed on limestones, they also typify the morphology of the New Caledonian landscape, particularly on the southern massif of the main isl...

Environmental and geographical factors structure soil microbial diversity in New Caledonian ultramafic substrates: A metagenomic approach

Soil microorganisms play key roles in ecosystem functioning and are known to be influenced by biotic and abiotic factors, such as plant cover or edaphic parameters. New Caledonia, a biodiversity hotspot located in the southwest Pacific, is one-third ...
