Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70855
Abstract: ABSTRACT The reproductive systems of natural populations can significantly impact their genetic diversity by either preventing or promoting inbreeding. Therefore, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of the mating system to evaluate a… read more here.

Geographic Variation in Diet and Genetic Connectivity of Populations of the Widespread Predatory Cone Snail Conus miliaris
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72434
Abstract: ABSTRACT Knowledge of how traits of widely distributed species vary across geographic scales is important for understanding patterns of intraspecific variation and the source of this variation. Conus miliaris is a broadly distributed predatory gastropod… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gloplacha.2019.03.018
Abstract: Abstract Distant swells produced by high latitude storms are poorly studied despite their significant impact on almost all major ocean basins. This article studies the consequences of extreme southern swells on the islands and atolls… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.margeo.2021.106500
Abstract: Abstract In French Polynesia, low-lying, reef islands, composed of unconsolidated skeletal material rest on cemented conglomerate platforms. These are regarded as mainly generated by storm activity during the mid-late Holocene. Field observations and coral sampling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2019.01.038
Abstract: Microplastics are ubiquitous throughout the oceans, yet few studies have documented their occurrence in marine organisms associated with coral reefs. Four genera of adult fish were sampled (Myripristis spp., Siganus spp., Epinephelus merra and Cheilopogon… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2020.111175
Abstract: French Polynesia exhibits a wide diversity of islands and coral-reef habitats, from urbanized high islands to remote atolls. Here, we present a geographically extensive baseline survey that examine the concentrations of nine metals (Ag, Cd,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2020.111576
Abstract: Temperature is important for pearl oyster reproduction, pelagic larval duration, and growth in the context of pearl farming, but has seldom been monitored over long periods in remote atolls. To test if satellite-derived Sea Surface… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-59807-5
Abstract: Rainfall mobilizes and transports anthropogenic sources of sediments and nutrients from terrestrial to coastal marine ecosystems, and episodic but extreme rainfall may drive high fluxes to marine communities. Between January 13 th and January 22… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-10113-y
Abstract: Unravelling the mechanisms driving marine connectivity in open ocean environments remains a challenge, particularly for bentho-pelagic species, where larval dispersal further complicates analysis. Integrating currentology with population genomics provides a powerful framework for inferring population… read more here.
