Saunders Tern Sternula saundersi was observed at the beginning of 2020 in Reunion. This is the fourth mention for the island about an isolated individual staying one week at Étang du Gol.
Abstract : A new nectariferous plant has been identified for the diet of the Mascarene Grey White-eyes, Zosterops borbonicus (Aves: Zosteropidae): Gerold’s Spurge, Euphorbia geroldii.
Key words : Nectarivory, Zosterops borbonicus, Euphorbia geroldii.
Résumé : Une nouvelle plante nectarifère a été identifiée pour le régime alimentaire de l’Oiseau b...
Yala National Park is a hotpot for the mugger crocodile (Crocodylus palustris) as large numbers of it inhabit the park. The mugger feeds on a variety of animals such as fish, birds, reptiles, chelonians, amphibians, crabs and small to large mammals. We report here the first report of it feeding on a pangolin (Manis crassicaudata).
KEY WORDS : Swam...
Résumé : A l’occasion d’une « sortie limicoles », organisée à Terre Rouge, nous avons eu l’occasion d’observer la plus petite Sterne du monde, la Sterne de Saunders, Sternula saundersi, au milieu d’un groupe de Sterne pierregarin, Sterna hirundo. Cette note retrace les détails de l’observation et donne les critères de détermination de l’espèce conc...
Dendrelaphis tristis (Daudin, 1803) (Couleuvre haldanda). Sri Lanka. Page de couverture de la revue écologique Données Naturalistes Animalières n° 23 (2017)
Résumé – Les informations relatives à l’éco-éthologie de Phelsuma borbonica en milieu naturel sur l’île de La Réunion sont dispersées. Cet article fournit une synthèse de ces connaissances, à partir de toutes les informations disponibles dans la bibliographie et de la base de données de l’association Nature Océan Indien. L’alimentation de ce gecko,...

... Finalement il disparaît sous la surface. Cette prédation crocodile/pangolin semble exceptionnelle, mais a été rapportée l'année dernière pour deux espèces asiatiques proches au Sri Lanka (De Silva, al., 2018). Pour un crocodile, la prédation d'un pangolin n'est pas aisée car son corps recouvert d'écailles durcies et son réflexe de mise en boule qui hérisse son écaillure rendent sa capture malaisée. ...
... The availability of egg laying sites (e.g. trunk and rock crevices, cavities), also used as retreat sites, could be a factor limiting populations dynamics of this gecko, but this remains to be tested experimentally (Sanchez and Probst, 2017b). The availability of thermoregulation sites could also be a significant limiting factor (Augros et al. 2017). ...
... The genus Phelsuma comprises about fifty species of mainly arboreal geckos found on tropical islands in the Western Indian Ocean (Rocha, Carretero and Harris, 2010). Some species are more generalistic and are able to exploit a wide range of habitats (Glaw and Vences, 2007;Roberts and Daly, 2014;Sanchez and Probst, 2017;Humphrey and Ward, 2018), while others are more specialised and associated with native plant species (Glaw and Vences, 2007;Noble et al., 2011;Bungard et al., 2014). Studies investigating the temporal variation in microhabitat use of Phelsuma day geckos suggest daily cycles (Hagey et al., 2016;Rakotozafy, 2019), however, annual temporal dynamics remained unstudied. ...
