The biogeographic history of the African rain forests has been contentious. Phylogeography,
the study of the geographic distribution of genetic lineages within species, can highlight the …

The accumulation of biodiversity in tropical forests can occur through multiple allopatric and
parapatric models of diversification, including forest refugia, riverine barriers and ecological …

L'objectif de cette synthèse est d'établir un bilan actualisé des connaissances et une revue
bibliographique du genre Afzelia qui comporte un complexe d'espèces exploitées pour leur …

Coccomyxa is a genus of unicellular green algae of the class Trebouxiophyceae, well
known for its cosmopolitan distribution and great ecological amplitude. The taxonomy of this …

Plant species delimitation within tropical ecosystems is often difficult because of the lack of
diagnostic morphological characters that are clearly visible. The development of an …

Combatting illegal timber trade requires forensic tools that independently verify claimed
geographic origin of timber. Chemical and genetic wood characteristics are potentially …

Aim Phylogeographical signatures of past population fragmentation and demographic
change have been reported in several African rain forest trees. These signatures have …

In this study, we evaluate phylogeographic patterns and predictions of ecological niche
modelling (ENM) for Eugenia uniflora (Myrtaceae), a widely distributed taxon in the Atlantic …

Owing to the reduction of population density and/or the environmental changes it induces,
selective logging could affect the demography, reproductive biology and evolutionary …

Here, we explore the historical and contemporaneous patterns of connectivity among
Encholirium horridum populations located on granitic inselbergs in an Ocbil landscape …
