   Population dynamics, life-history traits of and habitat use by two sympatric nothobranchiid fishes in a tropical stream, Kainji Lake Basin, Nigeria

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Aquatic Science • Authors: BD Olaosebikan SL Lamai T Musschoot

   Population dynamics and life-history traits of two sympatric nothobranchiid killifishes, Epiplatys bifasciatus and E. spilargyreius, were studied for 24 months in an intermittent stream in the Kainji Lake Basin, Nigeria. Epiplatys bifasciatus was more abundant throughout the study period, but...

   Species diversity and distribution-pattern determinants of African rivulines (Cyprinodontiformes: Nothobranchiidae) in rainforest streams of southern Cameroon

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: FD Messu Mandeng --- Higher Teacher’s Training College (ENS), University of Yaoundé I, Cameroon CF Bilong Bilong --- University of Yaoundé I, Cameroon JF Agnese --- University of Montpellier (CNRS, IRD, EPHE), France

   Understanding the community structure and ecology of fish populations in rainforest streams is a prerequisite for any actions towards their exploitation, management or conservation. We examined the community structure and species diversity of nothobranchiids (African rivulines) in rainforest streams of...
