Thyroid hormones (TH) are central hormonal regulators, orchestrating gene expression and complex biological processes vital for growth reproduction in variable environments by triggering specific developmental response to external cues. TH serve distinct roles different species: inducing metamorphosis amphibians or teleost fishes, governing metabolic mammals, acting as effectors of seasonality. These multifaceted raise questions about the underlying mechanisms action. Recent evidence...
Anemonefish are an emerging group of model organisms for studying genetic, ecological, evolutionary, and developmental traits coral reef fish. The yellowtail clownfish Amphiprion clarkii possesses species-specific characteristics such as inter-species co-habitation, high intra-species color variation, no anemone specificity, a broad geographic distribution, that can increase our understanding anemonefish evolutionary history, behavioral strategies, fish-anemone symbiosis, pattern evolution....
Coastal urbanisation is a widespread phenomenon throughout the world and often linked to increased erosion. Small Pacific islands are not spared from this issue, which of great importance in context climate change. The French Polynesian island Bora was used as case study investigate historical evolution its coastline classification position 1955 2019. A time series very high-resolution aerial imagery processed highlight changes island’s coastline. overall length natural shores, including...

Long-term evolution of the Guadeloupean shoreline (1950–2017). Journal Coastal Research, 38(5), 976–987. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Insular environments have long been recognized as sensitive to issues linked natural forces that occur every day (swells, currents, winds) or are exceptional (storms cyclones). However, over...
Abstract Understanding the processes that shape biodiversity is essential for effective environmental management. Across world’s coral reefs, algal farming damselfish ( Stegastes sp.) modify surrounding benthic community through their creation of algae “farms”. Using a long-term monitoring dataset (2005–2019) from Moorea Island, French Polynesia, we investigated whether density dusky nigricans ) associated with habitat composition, predators and/or competitors, and survey area was inside or...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, reduced exports and imports as well lack of activity due to interruption in international tourism economy seriously impacted food security many Pacific Islands. People often returned natural resources provide for themselves, their families, or generate income. On Bora-Bora Island, major tourist destination French Polynesia, roadside sales are widespread. Our study analyses impact pandemic on activities through a census stalls five districts conducted before...
The number of high-quality genomes is rapidly growing across taxa. However, it remains limited for coral reef fish the Pomacentrid family, with most research focused on anemonefish. Here, we present first assembly a genus Chrysiptera. Using PacBio long-read sequencing coverage 94.5x, genome Sapphire Devil, Chrysiptera cyanea was assembled and annotated. final consisted 896 Mb pairs 91 contigs, BUSCO completeness 97.6%. 28,173 genes were identified. Comparative analyses available...

In the context of general overexploitation South Pacific reef fisheries, there is a global push to precisely define fishery parameters such as fishing effort, annual landings, and exploitation levels. Bora-Bora, several surveys were performed grounds effort for first time. Maps under different pressures created Bora-Bora fishery. The average throughout lagoon was 40 trips week −1 km −2 . Annual landings estimated following two methods: school participatory landing based on catch per unit...

Coastal habitats have long been recognised to be nurseries and growing grounds for many marine organisms. Worldwide, coastal hardening urbanisation are leading the removal of natural ecosystems. The tropical island Bora-Bora in South Pacific has undergone extensive changes, with construction seawalls along more than half its coastline since 1950s. daytime night-time juvenile adult fish communities were surveyed multiple temporal replicates on a range lagoon Bora-Bora. Over 47% all juveniles....
