TL;DR: It is indicated that isolation does not significantly influence endangerment, but plant endemics from very small islands are more often critically endangered, and the synergistic action of many threat factors can induce major ecological disturbances, leading to multiple extinctions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of invasive alien weeds averts imminent plant extinction
TL;DR: The threat posed by invasive alien plants can be overwhelmingly important in driving native plant population declines in tropical forests and that imminent plant extinctions can be averted by timely control of alien plants.
Book ChapterDOI
Conservation in Mauritius and Rodrigues: Challenges and Achievements from Two Ecologically Devastated Oceanic Islands
TL;DR: In this article, conservation approaches and techniques have been developed, developed, and tested on the two islands, which consequently represent a kind of "conservation laboratory" for the tropics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can we protect island flying foxes
TL;DR: The dire situation of island flying foxes worldwide calls for effective, science-based conservation strategies to prevent further loss of biodiversity and function.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A 4000-year-old fossil bed at Mare aux Songes in south-eastern Mauritius is described, offering a unique opportunity to reconstruct a pre-human ecosystem on an oceanic island, providing a key foundation for assessing the vulnerability of island ecosystems to human impact.
