DOI: 10.1093/sysbio/syy070
Abstract: Abstract Phylogenies recurrently demonstrate that oceanic island systems have been home to rapid clade diversification and adaptive radiations. The existence of adaptive radiations posits a central role of natural selection causing ecological divergence and speciation,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0219874
Abstract: The ability to make profitable decisions in natural foraging contexts may be influenced by an additional requirement of tool-use, due to increased levels of relational complexity and additional work-effort imposed by tool-use, compared with simply… read more here.

DOI: 10.3354/ame01873
Abstract: Contributions of filamentous and picoplanktonic cyanobacteria to the 26 phytoplankton community structure were examined in New Caledonian waters during the 2001-27 2003 El Nino period at three stations. Morphometric characteristics of diazotrophic filamentous 28 cyanobacteria… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/md16100382
Abstract: Arsenicin A (C3H6As4O3) was isolated from the New Caledonian poecilosclerid sponge Echinochalina bargibanti, and described as the first natural organic polyarsenic compound. Further bioguided fractionation of the extracts of this sponge led us to isolate… read more here.
