Environment‐dependent influence of fruit size upon the distribution of the Malesian archipelagic flora

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 712-721, September 2023., 2023
We found evidence that larger fruited plant species are more likely to be found in aseasonal wet areas of Malesia. These areas are likely to be impacted by increasing human encroachment, which threatens both large‐fruited species and the large fauna that are most likely responsible for their dispersal.

Tri‐trophic interactions among Fopius arisanus, Tephritid species and host plants suggest apparent competition

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Our main objective was to characterize the tri‐trophic interactions between Fopius arisanus, fruit fly and host plant species by long‐term field database and laboratory assays. Results suggest a possible existence of apparent competition between Bactrocera dorsalis and Bactrocera zonata via F. arisanus.

Inhibition of Aldose Reductase by Novel Phytocompounds: A Heuristic Approach to Treating Diabetic Retinopathy

open access: yesEvidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Aldose reductase (ALR2) activation in the polyol pathway has been implicated as the primary mechanism for the progression of diabetic retinopathy. Most of the aldose reductase inhibitors (ARIs), used for the treatment of diabetic complications, were withdrawn due to ineffective treatment and adverse side effects caused by nonspecificity.

Scientific opinion on the import of Musa fruits as a pathway for the entry of non‐EU Tephritidae into the EU territory

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health examined evidence as to whether the import of fruits of Musa (bananas and plantains) could provide a pathway into the EU for Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) or other non‐EU Tephritidae for which Musa is a host. Relevant scientific and technical

Niche shift of tephritid species after the Oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) invasion in La Réunion

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 109-129, January 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim In a context of successive fruit fly invasions (Tephritidae), this study investigated how the top invader, Bactrocera dorsalis, displaced established fruit fly populations. We focused, particularly, on how this invasion impacted the host range and climatic niche of each resident species. Location La Réunion, France, Indian Ocean.
