	abstract = {<div class="rtejustify">Fibropapillomatosis (FP) is a debilitating tumoral disease affecting sea turtles worldwide. While mainly afflicting immature individuals and potentially altering vital functions, the precise impact of this panzootic on turtle health and survival remains unclear. Moreover, the etiological factors implicated in the FP emergence, development and transmission are not yet definitively identified. Among them, an infection by a spreading herpesvirus and the contamination by pollutants (either organic pollutants and trace elements) are suspected. Here, we provide an overview of discoveries, knowledge and propose hypotheses related to FP within five key FP research areas, i.e., virology studies, transmission studies, contamination studies, host genomic studies, and veterinary treatment assays. Moreover, we recommend urgent research avenues to develop at the interface of virology, epidemiology, ecotoxicology, oncology, physiology, immunology, cellular and evolutionary biology, in order to characterize the dynamics of FP and to predict its consequences on sea turtle populations. Importantly, extending the implementation and development of strong collaborations between rehabilitation centers, field biologists and research laboratories at large geographical scale is required to rapidly increase our knowledge on FP and work towards its effective management.</div>

	abstract = {Thirteen new freshwater populations of the copepod genus Boeckella De Guerne \&amp; Richard, 1889 were found during three expeditions to New Caledonia ( La Planete Revisitee, 2016-2018). The 12 populations from the Plaine des Lacs, which show remarkable genetic diversity among themselves, were identified as B. spinogibba Defaye, 1998, the only species of its genus known from New Caledonia until now. The sole exception, the population from Mont-Dore 22 km further east, appeared genetically and morphologically distinct from the others and is described herein as a new species. The two species are distinguished from each other by the shapes of the male and female P5, female Th5, and body colour. A previously published key is amended to separate the species. Our concatenated COI+28S phylogeny places the two New Caledonia species as a new branch within Boeckella, distinct from the branches consisting of South American, Antarctic and Australasian species. All 13 Boeckella populations inhabit the extreme south of New Caledonia, an area known for endemism and high heavy metal concentrations in the soil. Extensive mining activity in this metal-rich area, begun in 1873, is now leading to conflict with conservation goals. By using aerial photographs to trace the fate of the pond that is the type locality of B. spinogibba, we confirmed that it disappeared between 2007 and 2014 as a result of the expansion of the Goro nickel mine.},

	abstract = {Incidental capture of non-target species poses a pervasive threat to many marine species, with sometimes devastating consequences for both fisheries and conservation efforts. Because of the well-known importance of vocalizations in cetaceans, acoustic deterrents have been extensively used for these species. In contrast, acoustic communication for sea turtles has been considered negligible, and this question has been largely unexplored. Addressing this challenge therefore requires a comprehensive understanding of sea turtles{\textquoteright} responses to sensory signals. In this study, we scrutinized the avenue of auditory cues, specifically the natural sounds produced by green turtles (Chelonia mydas) in Martinique, as a potential tool to reduce bycatch. We recorded 10 sounds produced by green turtles and identified those that appear to correspond to alerts, flight or social contact between individuals. Subsequently, these turtle sounds{\textemdash}as well synthetic and natural (earthquake) sounds{\textemdash}were presented to turtles in known foraging areas to assess the behavioral response of green turtles to these sounds. Our data highlighted that the playback of sounds produced by sea turtles was associated with alert or increased the vigilance of individuals. This therefore suggests novel opportunities for using sea turtle sounds to deter them from fishing gear or other potentially harmful areas, and highlights the potential of our research to improve sea turtles populations{\textquoteright} conservation.},

	journal = {Cybium},
	volume = {47},

	month = {10/2023},
	pages = {391-399},
	abstract = {Amphidromous goby fry (post-larvae and young juveniles) are traditionally fished when they arrive in rivers after their larval development at sea. In Reunion Island (Indian Ocean) two species of amphidromous goby are mainly targeted by the fisheries: the endemic\&nbsp;Cotylopus acutipinnis\&nbsp;and the cosmopolitan\&nbsp;Sicyopterus lagocephalus. Despite the lack of quantitative data on these fisheries, their impact on populations\&nbsp;is expected to be important because the catches can represent several tonnes per year. Consequently, fishery regulation changes have been proposed that increase the duration of the existing fisheries closure period of two weeks in March. We developed an approach to identify key periods for fisheries closure, including assessment of the proposed management scenario and several alternative protection scenarios, based on the maximization of fry abundance and on the variability of four life-history traits: (i) fry size and (ii) age at arrival in rivers, (iii) the time the juveniles spend in river before maturation and (iv) their migration behaviour. This approach is in seeking to preserve a high level of phenotypic diversity, which is predicted to promote population resilience. We conducted a multiple-criteria decision analysis to rank 4096 alternatives of fisheries closure periods, ranging from zero to 12 months, based on their propensity to maintain fry abundance and life history trait diversity. Finally, according to the type of fisheries closure period (discontinuous or continuous) and the proportion of annual abundance and variability of life-history traits preserved during the period (50\% or 75\%), we propose four different fisheries closures lasting from six to nine months.},
