Plant Communities and Biological Invaders in Tropical Environments - UMR PVBMT
It is based at the Plant Protection Pole (3P) laboratories in Saint-Pierre, Réunion.
The UMR aims to improve crop protection and preservation of natural ecosystems by studying plant epidemiology (epidemiosurveillance and adaptation of phytopathogenic microorganisms), insect population dynamics and trophic interactions, the genetics and characterization of plant resistance to pests and diseases, and the endemism and invasion of natural terrestrial ecosystems in island environments.
