PROTEKER 1 (12 dec. 2011 – 9 jan. 2012 on the field) made it possible to chose and begin to install (thermo-recorders at 5 and 15 m) 6 sites. A small number of “tests” species, selected before for their features of contrasted life history (e.g. mode of reproduction), have been collected all around the island to be tested again and to highlight or not a change.
