Multiple cryptic species in the blue-spotted maskray (Myliobatoidei : Dasyatidae : Neotrygon spp.) : an update

Previous investigations have uncovered divergent mitochondrial clades within the blue-spotted maskray, previously Neotrygon kuhlii (Muller and Henle). The hypothesis that the blue-spotted maskray may consist of a complex of multiple cryptic species h...

Molecular characterization reveals the complexity of previously overlooked coral-exosymbiont interactions and the implications for coral-guild ecology

Several obligate associate crabs and shrimps species may co-occur and interact within a single coral host, leading to patterns of associations that can provide essential ecological services. However, knowledge of the dynamics of interactions in this ...

Adult and larval traits as determinants of geographic range size among tropical reef fishes

Most marine organisms disperse via ocean currents as larvae, so it is often assumed that larval-stage duration is the primary determinant of geographic range size. However, empirical tests of this relationship have yielded mixed results, and alternat...

La Nouvelle-Calédonie : Atouts et enjeux maritimes d'un pays "doué"

The publication draws up a balance sheet about the natural marine assets of New Caledonia by distinguishing the coast and the intertidal zones, the coral reefs and lagoons, the open sea or "deep blue". A set of assets relative to the living and miner...

Un bilan de la télédétection appliquée aux milieux coralliens

The aim of this paper is to present in a practical fashion the status of the use of remote sensing for the study of coral reef environments through the analysis of work published in the years 1980-2000. We review the scales of the potential work and ...

Expression, tissue localization and synergy of antimicrobial peptides and proteins in the immune response of the oyster Crassostrea gigas

Diverse families of antimicrobial peptides and proteins have been described in oysters. We investigated here how antimicrobials are involved in the immune response against a pathogenic strain of Vibrio splendidus. Oyster antimicrobials were shown to ...

Rapport d'activité 2010 - Département Lagons, Ecosystèmes et Aquaculture Durable

The 2010 activity report of the Department "Lagoons, Ecosystems and Sustainable Aquaculture in New Caledonia (LEAD-NC) reported on developments, results and actions of the department in 2011. It gives the evolution of staff and resources (mobility of...

Different surveys provide similar pictures of trends in a marine fish community but not of individual fish populations

Choice of sampling method and survey period can have an important impact on the perception of the structure and dynamics of an ecological community. For the Celtic Sea fish assemblage we compared data obtained by three different trawl surveys: an aut...

Earliest Eocene (53 Ma) convergence in the Southwest Pacific; evidence from pre-obduction dikes in the ophiolite of New Caledonia.

Uncertainty about timing and location of the initiation of convergence in the western and south western Pacific greatly hinders accurate plate tectonic reconstructions of subduction systems in that area. The chemistry and age of dikes intruding mantl...

A mass stranding of seven Longman's beaked whales (Indopacetus pacificus) in New Caledonia, South Pacific

Seven Longman's beaked whales (Indopacetus pacificus) stranded together in southern New Caledonia on 16 November 2013 (one adult male, two adult females, two subadult females, one calf, and one unknown). At this time, we have no evidence to suggest t...
