Abstract : Two segregating populations (P1 and P2) were evaluated for several agronomic traits related to the milling process in view of detecting QTAs controlling these traits. P1 was evaluated at CERF and consisted of 80 progenies, derived from a selfing of cv. R

H.; Kanashiro, M.; Coventry, P.; Yu, D. W.; Watkinson, A. R.; Freckle; Demographic threats to the sustainability of Brazil nut exploitation; 2003
Abstract : A comparative analysis of 23 populations of the Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa) across the Brazilian, Peruvian, and Bolivian Amazon shows that the history and intensity of Brazil nut exploitation are major determinants of population size structure. Populations subjected to persistent levels of harvest lack juvenile trees less than 60 centimeters in diameter at breast height; only populations with a history of either light or recent exploitation contain large numbers of juvenile trees. A harvesting model confirms that intensive exploitation levels over the past century are such that juvenile recruitment is insufficient to maintain populations over the long term. Without management, intensively harvested populations will succumb to a process of senescence and demographic collapse, threatening this cornerstone of the Amazonian extractive economy.

Title : Decline of the Dodo-tree: a case of broken down interaction with extinct species or the result of new interactions with alien invadors?

Citation : Florens, F. B. V.; Baider, C.; Florens, D.; Sevathian, J.-C.; Decline of the Dodo-tree: a case of broken down interaction with extinct species or the result of new interactions with alien invadors?; 2003
Abstract : The decline in the population of the mauritius endemic Tambalacoque tree (Sapotaceae) has been attributed to many factors including a broken down mutualism with Dodos. However little rigorous scientific data support these factors. We investigated the tree's ecology and identified two overwhelming threats that will enable the species' effective conservation.

Citation : Florens, F. B. V.; Florens, D.; Sevathian, J.-C.; Baider, C.; Life on the edge for Mauritian mountain native trees; 2003
Abstract : Much of the remaining Mauritian forests occur in our little studied mountainous areas. We used the once thought extinct Trochetia parviflora to investigate the major threats to survival of native species in such habitats. An alien weed-driven displacement of the species and its associated community towards steeper slopes is found.

Abstract : The scale insect Aulacaspis tegalensis is a chronic pest of sugar cane in the drier regions of Mauritius. Severe infestations by this insect can cause up to 34 per cent reduction in IRSC. Control of this pest relies on cultural practices such as cane tr
