BOOK OF ABSTRACTS Université de la Réunion Campus du Moufia 2 Island Biology Third International Conference on Island Ecology, Evolution and Conservation 8-13 July 2019 University of La R´eunion Saint Denis, France Book of Abstracts Editors: Olivier Flores Claudine Ah-Peng Nicholas Wilding Description of contents This document contains the collection of abstracts describing the research works presented at the third international conference on island ecology, evolution and conservation, Island Biology 2019, held in Saint Denis (La R´eunion,8-13 July 2019). In the following order, the different parts of this document concern Plenary sessions, Symposia, Regular sessions, and Poster presentations organized in thematic sections. The last part of the document consists of an author index with the names of all authors and links to the corresponding abstracts. Each abstract is referenced by a unique number 6-digits number indicated at the bottom of each page on the right. This reference number points to the online version of the abstract on the conference website using URL https://sciencesconf.org:ib2019/xxxxxx, where xxxxxx is the reference of the abstract. 4 Table of contents Plenary Sessions 19 Introduction to natural history of the Mascarene islands, Dominique Strasberg . 20 The history, current status, and future of the protected areas of Madagascar, Steven M.
