Towards Safer Plant Genetic Resources through improved viral diagnostics – SafePGR
Biological Resources Centres (BRCs) of cultivated plants aim at distributing plant germplasm to the international community for research and development purposes. As such, they play a key role in providing breeding programmes with certified pathogen-free plant material. In European outermost tropica
Understanding biodiversity dynamics in tropical and subtropical islands in an aid to science based conservation action – ISLAND-BIODIV
ISLAND-BIODIV is a concerted, transnational and transregional collaboration to provide measures of biodiversity within island ecosystems and establish fast, efficient and long-term monitoring strategies for three inter-dependant functionally important groups: flowering plants, macro-invertebrates li
Montane Vegetation as listening posts for climate change – MOVECLIM
Recent climate change has deeply affected the unique and vulnerable polar and high mountain ecosystems. However, due to limited knowledge, high uncertainty remains regarding similar effects on tropical biotas. In the present project, we propose to study and promote tropical bryophytes and ferns as b
Polynesian, Martinique's, Reunion's marine benthic invertebrates : interactions and chemodiversity evaluation for a sustainable use – POMARE
The marine living resources from selected sites and habitat of three French OT’s and OR’s located in three oceans all around the world are a treasure box to be discovered and understood. The objective of the consortium, with all its facilities and expertise, is to explore marine invertebrates and so
Characterisation, Protection, Sustainable use and Valorisation of Vanilla Biodiversity in Tropical EU – VaBiome
Vanilla is an emblematic patrimonial and endemic resource for tropical EU regions and combines a high socio-economic value with a natural image due to its traditional and sustainable mode of production and process. Tropical EU regions offer a unique opportunity to study the genus in its global biodi
Diversity and functioning of coastal marine biomes under siege: implication of seaweed proliferations across three oceans – SEAPROLIF
Macroalgae proliferations in tropical and subtropical coastal ecosystems represent a serious threat to the biologic diversity of these environments. In coral reefs, where the coral-algal competition can modify the ecosystem structure and functioning as well as the reef-scape, these interactions are
Consequences of forest fragmentation and conditions for biological invasions: the case of Caribbean birds – FRAG&BINV
Transformation rate of natural ecosystems due to human activities has recently accelerated. Habitat fragmentation and biological invasions are major threats on biodiversity, as both are main processes resposible for populations and species declines. Despite a large body of literature focusing on the
