All sea turtle species are listed on the Red List of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature due to multiple threats. Among these, disease is a frequent cause of stranded sea turtles encountered in rehabilitation centers. Since 2013, we found joint swelling in 13 sea turtles belonging to all four sea turtle species submitted to the K...

The study aimed at assessing the epidemiology and clinical features of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Reunion Island, South West of Indian Ocean. A retrospective study was conducted at the University Hospital of La Reunion (Saint-Denis) by charts review from 2004 to 2015. Patients with a SLE diagnosed over 15 years according to SLICC 2012 cr...

L’isolement augmente le risque de morbi-mortalité. A la Réunion, la modernisation des modèles familiaux laisse de nombreuses personnes vieillir seules. Cette étude cherche à dénombrer les Réunionnais de plus de 65 ans isolés puis à déterminer les caractéristiques socio-économiques et l’état de santé de cette population.Pour l’étude « Gramoune Care ...

Cet article propose de discuter, avec le cadrage théorique par la justice environnementale dans un contexte postcolonial, des stratégies mises en œuvre par une population culturellement majoritaire pour lutter contre une dégradation environnementale. Les résultats présentés dans cet article sont issus de plusieurs enquêtes menées depuis 2011 sur le...

We investigated seabird plastic ingestion in the western Indian Ocean by analyzing the stomach contents of 222 individuals belonging to nine seabird species (including two endangered species endemics to Reunion Island). The most affected species were tropical shearwaters (79%) and Barau's petrels (59%). The average number of plastic particles per c...

This paper analyses data related to the 57 shark attacks that were recorded on Reunion from 1980 to 2017, against the backdrop of an Indian Ocean island that is particularly vulnerable to shark attacks. To address this issue of vulnerability, the discussion focuses on the respective weight of environmental, contextual and individual variables. The ...

Epidemiology and infection
Although previous studies have reported Leptospira carriage in kidneys and urine of cats, the role of these animals in leptospirosis epidemiology remains poorly understood. Using molecular methods, we investigated Leptospira renal carriage in 172 feral cats from Reunion Island, an oceanic geographically isolated island located in the South West Ind...

Species presently considered as invasive were often deliberately introduced. Which factors led them from being desired to being denounced and what trajectory did such a transition follow? Using the case of common gorse (Ulex europaeus) on Reunion Island, the aims of this study were first, to identify and describe the different status that were attr...

Past climatic fluctuations have played a major role in shaping the current plant biodiversity. Although harbouring an exceptional biota, oceanic islands have received little attention in studies on species demographic history and past vegetation patterns. We investigated the impact of past climatic changes on the effective population size of a tree...

The ecology and conservation status of many island-restricted bats remain largely unexplored. The free-tailed bat Mormopterus francoismoutoui is a small insectivorous tropical bat, endemic to Reunion Island (Indian Ocean). Despite being widely distributed on the island, the fine-scale genetic structure and evolutionary ecology of M. francoismoutoui...
