  1. Historical demography of southern African patellid limpets: congruence of population expansions, but not phylogeography

    Historical demography of southern African patellid limpets: congruence of population expansions, but not phylogeography

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: KL Mmonwa --- SANBI Marine Programme, South Africa PR Teske --- Department of Zoology, South Africa CD McQuaid --- Coastal Research Group, Department of Zoology and Entomology, South Africa NP Barker --- Molecular Ecology and Systematics Group, Department of Botany, South Africa
    Global climatic oscillations have shaped the contemporary genetic structure of marine taxa in different ways. Previous demographic studies have indicated that various intertidal marine species display genetic signatures of demographic expansion that either pre- or postdate the Last Glacial Maximum...

  2. Evidence of multiple divergent mitochondrial lineages within the southern African diplopod genus <em>Bicoxidens</em> Attems, 1928 (Spirostreptida)

    Evidence of multiple divergent mitochondrial lineages within the southern African diplopod genus Bicoxidens Attems, 1928 (Spirostreptida)

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: Tawanda Tinago --- Department of Biology, School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Zimbabwe Tarombera Mwabvu --- School of Biology and Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Sciences, South Africa Angus HH MacDonald --- School of Life Sciences, South Africa
    Two recent studies have suggested that divergent mitochondrial lineages may be present within spirostreptid genera such as Bicoxidens Attems, 1928. Bicoxidens, similar to many other endemic soil invertebrates, exhibits low dispersal capabilities and strict microclimate habitat preferences, attributes that often...
