Taxonomic resolution needed to describe invertebrate assemblages and to detect harvesting effects on coral reef ecosystems

Due to the cost and time required for species identification, the taxonomic sufficiency approach has been developed in order to detect community response to a disturbance, using high taxonomic level without great loss of information. This concept has...

Benthic pelagic coupling in a shallow oligotrophic ecosystem : Importance of microphytobenthos and physical forcing

In coral reef lagoons, microphytobenthos (MPB) primary production can be of the same order of magnitude as coral or macroalgal production. As they are situated in oligotrophic waters, sediments receive low amount of allochtonous nutrients, and their ...

Inferring savannah-rainforest boundary dynamics from vegetation structure and composition : a case study in New Caledonia

A direct consequence of deforestation and forest fragmentation in the tropics is the increased importance of boundaries between forest fragments and savannahs. These boundaries are critical zones for understanding the dynamics of savannahs and forest...

"Horizontal" and "vertical" diffusion : the cumulative influence of Impact and Benefit Agreements (IBAs) on mining policy-production in New Caledonia

The scale, duration and intensity of conflicts over mineral resources vary greatly. However, they always involve, in varying proportions, the triad stakeholder model corporation, state, community each element of which is internally heterogeneous. Inc...

Different behavioural strategies among seven highly invasive ant species

Ants figure prominently among the worst invasive species because of their enormous ecological and economic impacts. However, it remains to be investigated which species would be behaviourally dominant when confronted with another invasive ant species...

Impact of Austropuccinia psidii in New Caledonia, a biodiversity hotspot

Myrtle rust, caused by the fungus Austropuccinia psidii, infects a wide range of host species within the Myrtaceae family worldwide. Since its first report in 2013 from New Caledonia, the extent of the host range, geographical distribution and geneti...

Rain-derived particles and CDOM distribution along the east coast of New Caledonia

Shortly after strong rains or tropical storms, chlorophyll-a concentration (Chla), turbidity, and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the lagoon of New Caledonia may be tripled. This effect is visible as far as 50 km offshore. The Eastern Coas...

Plant species microendemism and conservation of montane maquis in New Caledonia : two new species of Pancheria (Cunoniaceae) from the Roche Ouaieme

Two species of Pancheria (Cunoniaceae) described here, Pancheria minima J.C. Bradford and Pancheria ouaiemensis J.C. Bradford, draw attention to a recently recognized biodiversity pattern in New Caledonia. Montane maquis on acidic substrates, especia...

Intermediate water flows in the western South Pacific : as revealed by individual Argo floats trajectories and a model re-analysis

Thanks to the autonomous Argo floats of the OUTPACE cruise (Oligotrophy to UlTra-oligotrophy PACific Experiment) and of the THOT (TaHitian Ocean Time series) project, some features of intermediate-flow dynamics, at around 1000 m depth, within t...
