2018-04-08: Is the Species Flock Concept Operational? The Antarctic Shelf Case

There has been a significant body of literature on species flock definition but not so much about practical means to appraise them. We here apply the five criteria of Eastman and McCune for detecting species flocks in four taxonomic components of the...

2018-09-12: Demersal ichthyofaunal shelf communities from the Dumont d’Urville Sea (East Antarctica)

Causse, Romain;Ozouf-Costaz, Catherine;Koubbi, Philippe;Lamy, Dominique;Eléaume, Marc;Dettaï, Agnès;Duhamel, Guy;Busson, Frédéric;Pruvost, Patrice;Post, Alexandra;Beaman, Robin J.;Riddle, Martin J.

The RSV Aurora Australis survey allowed the first comprehensive study of the demersal ichthyofaunal environment and of the diversity of the Dumont d’Urville Sea. We observed a high dominance of the Notothenioidei in both the number of species and in ...
