In this work we propose a preliminary seismic investigation of δ Scuti stars in the Pleiades cluster, focusing on potential diagnostics of convection and core-overshooting. Taking into account the effect of fast rotation in the modelling, we compare observed frequencies for 4 δ Scuti stars with radial linear instability predictions. A satisfying agreement is reached between the predicted ranges of unstable modes and those derived from observations for “low-mass” stars (∼ 1.55M⊙). However, a strong disagreement is found for “high-mass” stars (∼ 1.77M⊙), whatever the mixing length (α) value. These results are compared with previous ones obtained for Praesepe.
