Molecular phylogenetics of New Caledonian Diospyros (Ebenaceae) using plastid and nuclear markers

To clarify phylogenetic relationships among New Caledonian species of Diospyros, sequences of four plastid markers (atpB, rbcL, trnKmatK and trnStrnG) and two low-copy nuclear markers (ncpGS and PHYA) were analysed. New Caledonian Diospyros species f...

Anti-predator behaviour in a procellariid seabird : wedge-tailed shearwaters do not respond to the odour of introduced ship rats

Seabirds are particularly vulnerable to introduced alien mammalian predators, especially invasive rats, which are the main contributors to seabird extinction and endangerment in many places worldwide. However, this appears context-dependent because, ...

The Southwest Pacific Ocean circulation and climate experiment (SPICE)

The Southwest Pacific Ocean Circulation and Climate Experiment (SPICE) is an international research program under the auspices of CLIVAR. The key objectives are to understand the Southwest Pacific Ocean circulation and the South Pacific Convergence Z...

The flora of ultramafic soils in the Australia-Pacific Region : state of knowledge and research priorities

In the Australia-Pacific Region ultramafic outcrops are both widespread and extensive, covering thousands of km(2). Soils derived from ultramafic bedrock impose edaphic challenges and are widely known to host highly distinctive floras with high level...

Progression in field infestation is linked with trapping of coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Col., Scolytidae)

Phenology of the coffee plant and infestation by coffee berry borer #Hypothenemus hampei$ Ferrari were studied in relation to trapping of adult females in kairomone-baited traps in a coffee plantation in New Caledonia. In a 0.4 ha coffee field, a gro...

Reef-building corals thrive within hot-acidified and deoxygenated waters

Coral reefs are deteriorating under climate change as oceans continue to warm and acidify and thermal anomalies grow in frequency and intensity. In vitro experiments are widely used to forecast reef-building coral health into the future, but often fa...

Are planktonic larvae of marine benthic invertebrates too scarce to compete within species?

Several models for the evolution of complex life histories have assumed a carrying capacity for both larval and postlarval stages. In addition, the densities of larvae in laboratory experiments are often so high that there is competition for food. Pu...

Combined effect of temperature and salinity on osmoregulation of juvenile and subadult Penaeus stylirostris

In New Caledonia, the "syndrome 93," which results in mass mortalities of farmed shrimp Penaeus stylirostris, occurs during the transitional and the cold seasons. The transitional season is characterized by an important fall in the average water temp...

Croissance et Société bleues : quels intérêts et perspectives pour la Nouvelle-Calédonie

This article calls back first of all a set of facts relative to the main stakes considering sea and ocean so much on the economic point of view, in the scientific technological and innovative fields, in the governance aspects as also in the culture a...

Does coastal lagoon habitat quality affect fish growth rate and their recruitment? Insights from fishing and acoustic surveys

Ensuring the sustainability of fish resources necessitates understanding their interaction with coastal habitats, which is becoming ever more challenging in the context of ever increasing anthropogenic pressures. The ability of coastal lagoons, expos...
