Variable phylogeographic histories of five forest birds with populations in Upper and Lower Guinea: implications for taxonomy and evolutionary conservation
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Ostrich: Journal of African Ornithology • Authors: Jean-Bernard Dongmo --- Laboratory of Zoology, Department of Animal Biology and Physiology, Faculty of Sciences, Cameroon Jeffrey M DaCosta --- Biology Department, Boston College, USA Champlain Djieto-Lordon --- Laboratory of Zoology, Department of Animal Biology and Physiology, Faculty of Sciences, Cameroon Pierre Ngassam --- Laboratory of Parasitology and Ecology, Cameroon Michael D Sorenson --- Department of Biology, USAThis study evaluates phylogeographic structure in selected forest bird species distributed on either side of the Dahomey Gap in West Africa to extend analyses of avian diversification across the Guineo-Congolean forest. Mitochondrial DNA sequence data were collected for five species,... -
Phylogeography of the Clicking Stream Frog Strongylopus grayii (Anura, Pyxicephalidae) reveals cryptic divergence across climatic zones in an abundant and widespread taxon
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Herpetology • Authors: KrystalA. Tolley --- South African National Biodiversity Institute, South Africa Anne Braae --- South African National Biodiversity Institute, South Africa Michael Cunningham --- University of the Free State, South AfricaThe Clicking Stream Frog (Strongylopus grayii) occurs throughout southern and eastern South Africa across summer, aseasonal and winter rainfall areas. Because of its contiguous distribution and extended breeding season this species might be expected to show a phylogeographic pattern of... -
Population genetics and key phenotypic variability does not support different subspecies of Yellow-throated Woodland Warbler Phylloscopus ruficapilla within the Eastern Cape, South Africa
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Ostrich: Journal of African Ornithology • Authors: Jake M Mulvaney --- Stellenbosch University, South Africa Michael I Cherry --- Stellenbosch University, South AfricaTwo subspecies of the Yellow-throated Woodland Warbler Phylloscopus ruficapilla (family Phylloscopidae) have been recognised in South Africa based on the extent and intensity of yellow colouration. Our previous multi-locus population genetic survey across much of the Eastern Cape and southern...
