Thank you!

this link allows you to know the conditions to earn miles on the skyteam members and partner companies of FB program.
It is clearly mentionned on each Skyteam company detail:
"Remember to take into account your membership level when calculating how many Miles you will earn. The accrual percentages in the scheme below do not yet include the Mileage bonus for your membership level."
For example: AR flight from Buenos Aires to New York (5,291 miles one-way)

As a Flying Blue Gold member in Business Class – booking sub-class D, you earn:

6,614 Level Miles (5,291 x 125%) and
10,582 Award Miles (5,291 x 125% = 6,614 + 75% Mileage bonus on 5291)

As a Flying Blue Ivory member in Economy Class – booking sub-class L, you earn:

2,645 Level Miles (5,291 x 50%) and
2,645 Award Miles (5,291 x 50%) - no Mileage bonus applicable

Mileage Status bonus is only for award miles, not level miles and only on Skyteam members, not for all FB partners, like JAL
