The importance of standardization for biodiversity comparisons: A case study using autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) and metabarcoding to measure cryptic diversity on Mo’orea coral reefs, French Polynesia

PLoS ONE, 2017
The advancement of metabarcoding techniques, declining costs of high-throughput sequencing and development of systematic sampling devices, such as autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS), have provided the means to gather a vast amount of diversity ...

Monitoring absolute vertical land motions and absolute sea-level changes from GPS and tide gauges data over French Polynesia

Geodesy and Geodynamics
In this study, we estimate the absolute vertical land motions at three tidal stations with collocated Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers over French Polynesia during the period 2007–2020, and obtain, as ancillary results, estimates of ...

Insights into the structure of grey reef shark aggregation, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos (Bleeker, 1856), in two distinct channels of the Maldivian archipelago, Indian Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The grey reef shark Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos is one of the most frequently encountered reef‐associated shark species in the Maldives, yet very little is known about its local size structure or population dynamics. This study provides new insights into two aggregations of C.

Unexpected Encounters in Island Worlds: Interactions Between ROC/Taiwan Fishers and Chinese Diaspora Communities in the 20th‐Century Pacific

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Researchers have examined how the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC) cultivated relations with Chinese diaspora communities to secure recognition of their government as the true homeland of the Chinese people. However, less attention has been paid to how accidental and contingent encounters between communities ...
