- The ANTARES Neutrino Telescope was completed in May 2008 and is the first operational Neutrino Telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. The main purpose of the detector is to perform neutrino astronomy and the apparatus also offers facilities for marine and Earth sciences. This paper describes the design, the construction and the installation of the telescope in the deep sea, offshore from Toulon in France. An illustration of the detector performance is given.

New Amphicocconeis species off Mascarenes (Western Indian Ocean) and related taxa

- Two new species were found on coral sediments of Mascarene archipelago: Amphicocconeis mascarenica sp. nov., relatively frequent in Réunion and rare in Rodrigues Islands, and A. rodriguensis sp. nov., relatively rare in Rodrigues and scarce in Réunion. Comparison was made with A. disculoides and A. debesii (Hustedt) De Stefano, and with species pertaining to Psammococconeis Garcia (P. brasiliensis and P. disculoides sensu Garcia). The Mascarenes taxa do not have simple raphe endings but terminal raphe fissures bent to the same side, which is a characteristic feature shared by Amphicocconeis taxa. Amphicocconeis rodriguensis has a raphe valve relatively similar to that of A. debesii (Hustedt) De Stefano, but with a denser striation; furthermore, the valvocopula of the sternum valve is narrow with simple to chiselled fimbriae. Amphicocconeis rodriguensis sternum valve is close to that of A. debesii (Hustedt) De Stefano. Amphicocconeis mascarenica shows a number of striae relatively low on both valves and both valvocopulae are generally extended and present rows of alternated small holes, which seems a unique feature for Amphicocconeis.

Species of the Cocconeis peltoides group with a marginal row of unusual processes (Mascarenes and Kerguelen Islands, Indian Ocean)
- 2011

Ingår i: DIATOM RESEARCH. - 0269-249X. ; 26:3-4, s. 325-338

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Two diatoms related to Cocconeis peltoides Hustedt (Bacillariophyceae), from coral reef environments (Mascarenes, Western Indian Ocean), are proposed as a new Cocconeis variety and a new C. species: Cocconeis peltoides var. archaeana Riaux-Gobin et Compère and Cocconeis sigillata Riaux-Gobin et Al-Handal. Cocconeis peltoides and the two new taxa possess an unusual marginal row of small processes on their sternum valve, internally opening as curb-like structures. Several other Cocconeis species, encountered during sampling campaigns in Kerguelen (Southern Ocean, Indian Ocean sector), also share such processes, including Cocconeis hauniensis Witkowski and Cocconeis germainii Riaux-Gobin, Witkowski et Romero. The shared characteristics of these taxa are examined and compared in detail.
