Post-obduction carbonate system development in New Caledonia (Népoui, 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 Népoui area, two dis...

Environmental correlates for tree occurrences, species distribution and richness on a high-elevation tropical island;A mutualistic endophyte alters th...

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...

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...

Old lineage on an old island : Pixibinthus, a new cricket genus endemic to New Caledonia shed light on gryllid diversification in a hotspot of biodive...

Few studies have focused on the early colonization of New Caledonia by insects, after the re-emergence of the main island, 37 Myr ago. Here we investigate the mode and tempo of evolution of a new endemic cricket genus, Pixibinthus, recently discovere...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
