Effects of the Trophic Ecology of Exotic Game Birds on Mascarenes Biodiversity: The Case of Francolinus pondicerianus in Mauritius

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Game bird species were introduced to several insular systems during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Mascarenes are a relevant example of such introductions, including the grey francolin (Francolinus pondicerianus). In the case of Mauritius and Réunion Island, although this bird has been present for more than 300 years, limited information is ...

Phenylphenalenones Accumulate in Plant Tissues of Two Banana Cultivars in Response to Herbivory by the Banana Weevil and Banana Stem Weevil

open access: yesPlants, 2016
Phenylphenalenone-type compounds accumulated in the tissues of two banana cultivars—Musa acuminata cv. “Grande Naine” (AAA) and Musa acuminata × balbisiana Colla cv. “Bluggoe” (ABB)—when these were fed on by the banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus (Germ.

Endophytic entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents of insect pests

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 12, Page 6033-6040, December 2024.
Interaction between plants and endophytic entomopathogenic fungi. Fungal metabolites and induced systemic resistance enhance the plant's defense mechanisms against pests and pathogens. In addition, volatile compounds emitted by the plants colonized by endophytic entomopathogenic fungi play an important role in recruiting natural enemies of insect pests,

A Functional Analysis of Inflorescence Architecture in Musa L. (Musaceae)

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 13, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
ABSTRACT Inflorescence architecture underpins sexual reproduction in wild Musa species and productivity in edible banana cultivars. In a functional analysis, we identified the apical inflorescence and lateral ‘cushion’ meristems and the change in flower type as the three primary components that generate inflorescence architecture. Five genotypes of two
