The objective of this study is to assess the potential impact of nickel mining activity on zooplankton communities in a coral reef channel lagoon (Voh Koné, New Caledonia). During a multidisciplinary campaign in February 2018, we analyzed the variation in zooplankton abundance, biomass and taxonomic diversity, as a function of the distance from the metallurgical plant site and of hydrodynamic conditions and environmental variables. We also compared these results with those obtained in an earlier study conducted in 2009 prior the mining.

- The study describes a hereditary connective tissue disorder characterized by features like hyperextensible skin, joint laxity, and specific craniofacial characteristics linked to mutations in the EFEMP1 gene.
- Genome sequencing revealed that both the proband and her mother carried a specific stop-gain mutation, leading to significantly reduced levels of the EFEMP1 transcript in their fibroblasts.
- The findings highlight the role of EFEMP1 haploinsufficiency due to nonsense-mediated decay in causing severe symptoms, marking the first report of an autosomal dominant disorder associated with this gene and expanding the understanding of related conditions.
Article Synopsis
- * In a study, three different parabens were examined for their effects on various yeast strains found on human skin, revealing that ethylparaben inhibited two of the fungi while the others showed no growth impact from the tested parabens.
- * Additionally, some fungi were capable of breaking down propylparaben, indicating that different fungal species metabolize parabens variably, which may have implications for skin health and cosmetic product interactions.
Thus far, no long-term in situ observation of planktonic biomass have been undertaken to optimize the black-lip pearl oyster aquaculture in the remote Tuamotu atolls. The feasibility of using data from the OLI sensor onboard Landsat-8 satellite to determine chlorophyll a concentrations (Chla) in a deep atoll, Ahe, was then assessed over the 2013-2021 period using 153 images. Validations with in situ observations were satisfactory, while seasonal and spatial patterns in Chla were evidenced within the lagoon.

Efforts may be sustained to predict the intended or unintended effects of molecules not naturally produced or expected to be present within the organism on the gut microbiota. Here, culture-dependent and DNA-based approaches were combined to UHPLC-MS/MS analyses in order to investigate the reciprocal interactions between a constructed Human Gut Microbiota Model (HGMM) and molecules including antibiotics, drugs, and xenobiotics.
