  1. The phylogeography of <em>Lemniscomys striatus</em> (Rodentia: Muridae) confirms a remarkable vicariant event in neighbouring savanna populations in Central Gabon

    The phylogeography of Lemniscomys striatus (Rodentia: Muridae) confirms a remarkable vicariant event in neighbouring savanna populations in Central Gabon

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: J. F. Mboumba --- Université des Sciences et Techniques de Masuku, Gabon V. Nicolas --- Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Département de Systématique et Evolution, France M. Colyn --- Université de Rennes 1, France P. Deleporte --- Université de Rennes 1, France
    Our recent phylogeographic study on the strictly savanna small rodent Nannomys minutoides revealed an unexpected pattern of divergence between populations occupying neighbouring savanna islands in Central Gabon, suggesting the historical and continuing fragmentation of these savanna habitats. In this study,...

  2. High population connectivity and Pleistocene range expansion in the direct-developing plough shell <em>Bullia rhodostoma</em> along the South African coast

    High population connectivity and Pleistocene range expansion in the direct-developing plough shell Bullia rhodostoma along the South African coast

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: T Muteveri --- Evolutionary Genomics Group, Department of Botany and Zoology, South Africa CA Matthee --- Evolutionary Genomics Group, Department of Botany and Zoology, South Africa RCK Bowie --- Museum of Vertebrate Zoology and Department of Integrative Biology, USA S von der Heyden --- Evolutionary Genomics Group, Department of Botany and Zoology, South Africa
    Pleistocene climatic and oceanographic changes have influenced the distribution of marine biodiversity in southern Africa. Most evidence, however, has been derived from rocky shore or demersal taxa; data on sandy shore species are limited, despite severe threats to many sandy...

  3. Adding another piece to the southern African <em>Cercopithecus</em> monkey phylogeography puzzle

    Adding another piece to the southern African Cercopithecus monkey phylogeography puzzle

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: Birthe Linden --- , South Africa Desiré L Dalton --- , South Africa Taryn MC Ralph --- , South Africa Isabel Silva --- , Mozambique Antoinette Kotze --- , South Africa Peter J Taylor --- , South Africa
    The taxonomy and number of Cercopithecus monkey radiation events in southern Africa are still debated. To date, genetic studies have largely been limited to single specimens per taxon and a scattered geographical distribution. A recent study focusing on South African...

  4. Unveiling the First Neobatrachian (Anura) Discovered in the paleokarst system of Bolt’s Farm (Plio-Pleistocene; Cradle of Humankind), South Africa

    Unveiling the First Neobatrachian (Anura) Discovered in the paleokarst system of Bolt’s Farm (Plio-Pleistocene; Cradle of Humankind), South Africa

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Herpetology • Authors: Alfred Lemierre --- Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, France Nonhlanhla Vilakazi --- University of Johannesburg, South Africa Dominique Gommery --- Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, France Lazarus Kgasi --- Ditsong: National Museum of Natural History, South Africa
    Anurans are widely diversified in South Africa, with more than 150 recognised species across the country. However, most the known fossil records of anurans are concentrated in the southern part of South Africa, within the rich Pliocene site of Langebaanweg...
