Mixed-stock analysis of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) on Antarctic feeding grounds

In understanding the impact of commercial whaling, it is important to estimate the mixing of low latitude breeding populations on Antarctic feeding grounds, particularly the endangered humpback whale populations of Oceania. This paper estimates the d...

Structural and floristic diversity of mixed tropical rain forest in New Caledonia : new data from the New Caledonian Plant Inventory and Permanent Plo...

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, bas...

Evaluation of transgenerational isotope labeling of embryonic otoliths in a coral reef damselfish with single and repeated injections of enriched (137...

Quantifying the larval dispersal component of population connectivity is extremely challenging due to the many difficulties associated with directly observing larvae in their marine environment. Transgenerational isotope labeling is a recent empirica...

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...

Wildfire risk for main vegetation units in a biodiversity hotspot : modeling approach in New Caledonia, South Pacific

Wildfire has been recognized as one of the most ubiquitous disturbance agents to impact on natural environments. In this study, our main objective was to propose a modeling approach to investigate the potential impact of wildfire on biodiversity. The...

Complementarity of rotating video and underwater visual census for assessing species richness, frequency and density of reef fish on coral reef slopes

Estimating diversity and abundance of fish species is fundamental for understanding community structure and dynamics of coral reefs. When designing a sampling protocol, one crucial step is the choice of the most suitable sampling technique which is a...

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...

Post-obduction carbonate system development in New Caledonia (Nepoui, Lower Miocene)

For the first time, depositional models of Lower Miocene carbonate systems from New Caledonia (Southwest Pacific) are proposed, on the basis of a sedimentological and paleoenvironmental study of both cores and outcrops. In the Nepoui area, two distin...

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...

Analyses of amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) indicate rapid radiation of Diospyros species (Ebenaceae) endemic to New Caledonia

Background : Radiation in some plant groups has occurred on islands and due to the characteristic rapid pace of phenotypic evolution, standard molecular markers often provide insufficient variation for phylogenetic reconstruction. To resolve relation...
