Ethnobotany , Phytochemistry , and Bioactivity of the Ferns of Moorea , French Polynesia

The purpose of this paper is to create a resource for the future scientific study of the medical ethnobotany and bioactivity of pteridophytes on Moorea, French Polynesia. Pteridophytes comprise a small fraction of the Moorean pharmacopoeia; however they are a highly abundant resource on this tropical island. Compiled here are all the relevant data available on phytochemistry, bioactivity and me...

Sponge distribution and the presence of photosymbionts in Moorea, French Polynesia

Photosymbionts play an important role in the ecology and evolution of diverse host species within the marine environment. Although sponge-photosymbiont interactions have been well described from geographically disparate sites worldwide, our understanding of these interactions from shallow water systems within French Polynesia is limited. We surveyed diverse habitats around the north coast of Mo...
