Remote Antarctic feeding ground important for east Australian humpback whales

Understanding the dynamics of population recovery is particularly complex when an organism has multiple, remote breeding and feeding grounds separated by one of the longest known migration routes. This study reports on the most comprehensive assessme...

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...

A framework for mapping small-scale coastal fisheries using fishers' knowledge

Collecting spatial information on fisheries catch and effort is essential to understanding the spatial processes of exploited population dynamics and to manage heterogeneously distributed resources and uses. The use of fishers' knowledge through geog...

Isotopic records from archeological giant clams reveal a variable climate during the southwestern Pacific colonization ca. 3.0 ka BP [Plus Corrigendum...

The Lapita colonization,which occurred in the late Holocene, is one of the most remarkable prehistorical human colonizations. To explore the possible influence of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on this event, bulk oxygen (δ18Oshell) ...

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, ...

Microbial diversity in a submarine carbonate edifice from the serpentinizing hydrothermal system of the Prony Bay (New Caledonia) over a 6-year period

Active carbonate chimneys from the shallow marine serpentinizing Prony Hydrothermal Field were sampled 3 times over a 6 years period at site ST09. Archaeal and bacterial communities composition was investigated using PCR-based methods (clone librarie...

Revision of Pycnandra subgenus Leptostylis and description of subgenus Wagapensia (Sapotaceae), a genus endemic to New Caledonia

The genus Pycnandra Benth. (Sapotaceae, Chrysophylloideae) is endemic to New Caledonia with 66 known species and is subdivided in six subgenera. We have earlier revised four of these subgenera and here continue with P. subgenus Leptostylis and descri...

Assessing the design and power of capture-recapture studies to estimate demographic parameters for the Endangered Oceania humpback whale population

Capture-recapture studies offer a powerful tool to assess abundance, survival and population rate of change (lambda). A previous capture-recapture study, based on DNA profiles, estimated that the IUCN-listed Endangered Oceania population of humpback ...

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...

Increase in pelagic larval duration and geographical range for reef fish along an oceanic gradient

The structure of reef fish assemblages is known to vary according to numerous environmental factors, in particular reef type and coral cover. However little is known on the potential causes at the origin of species distribution along gradients in ree...
