One of the most celebrated examples sympatric speciation in nature are monophyletic radiations cichlid fishes endemic to Cameroon crater lakes. However, phylogenetic inference monophyly may not detect complex colonization histories involving some allopatric isolation, such as double invasions obscured by genome-wide gene flow. Population genomic approaches better suited test hypotheses these cases. Here, we use comprehensive sampling from all four lake and outgroups across Africa combined...
Abstract The planned construction of 38 hydropower dams will impact the fish species inhabiting freshwater ecosystems in megadiverse African country Gabon. Many Gabon's most culturally and economically important are marine‐associated, moving between fresh salt or brackish waters. However, we know little about their life histories movement patterns, which makes it difficult to predict impacts dam development on biodiversity fisheries Here, apply MaxEnt distribution modeling marine‐associated...
Abstract Data scarcity impedes a comprehensive impact assessment of the 38 dams currently proposed within highly biodiverse central African nation Gabon. Here, we present multiple‐species MaxEnt distribution modeling approach to assess species richness for freshwater fishes at landscape level and demonstrate its utility in identifying dam sites Gabon that fall diverse areas. We modeled habitat suitability 202 Gabon's fresh brackish water fish based on georeferenced presence data from museum...
Abstract We present and describe a new species of Enteromius, adding to the 16 Enteromius currently recorded from Gabon, West Africa. This is distinguished all other Gabonese by presence several distinct spots on dorsal fin in combination with three or four round flanks. In Africa, it superficially similar walkeri which shares an unusual allometry that proportional length barbels decreases as fish grows. Nevertheless, one can distinguish these vertebral number, maximum standard length,...
We assessed the fish diversity of Ogooué and Sébé rivers in around Rapids Mboungou Badouma Doumé Ramsar site Gabon. The ichthyofauna this region has not been extensively sampled over 150 years, yet encompasses one most important type localities for fishes Central Africa. a total 31 sites collected nearly 3000 specimens representing 97 species. Nine species appeared to be new science, catalyzed recent description genus mormyrid fishes.
