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...

On the Influence and Correction of Water Content on pXRF Analysis of Lateritic Nickel Ore Deposits in the Context of Open Pit Mines of New-Caledonia

In a number of applications, the use of portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) instruments offers a time and cost-saving alternative to standard laboratory instruments. This is particularly true in a mining context where decisions must be taken quickly i...

Chemotypes and biomarkers of seven species of New Caledonian liverworts from the Bazzanioideae subfamily

Volatile components of seven species of the Bazzanioideae sub-family (Lepidoziaceae) native to New Caledonia, including three endemic species (Bazzania marginata, Acromastigum caledonicum and A. tenax), were analyzed by GC-FID-MS in order to index th...

A spatially explicit integrative model for estimating the risk of wildfire impacts in New-Caledonia

In this study, we present a spatially explicit bayesian model which is able to predict the distribution of potential fire ignition at a grid resolution of over the entire main island of New-Caledonia. This statistical model, when used in conjunction ...

Abundance, richness and composition of lianas in forest communities along an elevation gradient in New Caledonia

Background: Lianas are an abundantand dynamic component of tropical forests, and their abundance ispredicted to increase with global change. A better understandingof factors that explain their distribution is required, especially onoceanic islands fo...

Influence of settings management and protection status on recreational uses and pressures in marine protected areas

Coastal populations and tourism are growing worldwide. Consequently outdoor recreational activity is increasing and diversifying. While Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are valuable for mitigating anthropogenic impacts, recreational uses are rarely moni...

Bleaching forces coral's heterotrophy on diazotrophs and Synechococcus

Coral reefs are threatened by global warming, which disrupts the symbiosis between corals and their photosynthetic symbionts (Symbiodiniaceae), leading to mass coral bleaching. Planktonic diazotrophs or dinitrogen (N-2)-fixing prokaryotes are abundan...

The Norfolk Ridge: A Proximal Record of the Tonga‐Kermadec Subduction Initiation

Norfolk Ridge bounds the northeastern edge of the continent of Zealandia and is proximal to where Cenozoic Tonga-Kermadec subduction initiation occurred. We present and analyze new seismic reflection, bathymetric and rock data from Norfolk Ridge that...

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...
