Abstract The conservation of humpback dolphins, distributed in coastal waters the Indo‐West Pacific and eastern Atlantic Oceans, has been hindered by a lack understanding about number species genus ( Sousa ) their population structure. To address this issue, we present combined analysis genetic morphologic data collected from beach‐cast, remote‐biopsied museum specimens throughout known range. We extracted sequence 235 samples extant populations explored mitochondrial control region four...
Abstract Situated in the northernmost part of Mozambique, northern Querimbas Islands support some most diverse and pristine coral reefs Western Indian Ocean. The community-based turtle conservation programme that we developed on Vamizi Island has facilitated identification protection a key nesting site for green marine Chelonia mydas with mean 122 nests per year. area is also used by female immature hawksbill turtles Eretmochelys imbricata . Nesting activity was observed all year round, peak...
Invertebrate gleaning within seagrass meadows is a common activity across eastern African communities that depend on fisheries for their livelihoods. Based case study of two contrasting sites, Maputo Bay (MB) and Inhambane (IB), this documents, both qualitatively quantitatively, the activity, its value chain stakeholders, paying particular attention to recently created Locally Managed Marine Areas (LMMAs) IB, boasting creativity in invertebrate fishery management. Twenty-four edible species...
—In recent years there has been much interest in the conservation and tourism value of Quirimbas Archipelago, Mozambique. Historically, biological work focused on more accessible southern part Quirimbas. This paper is a contribution to knowledge resources north following survey conducted around Vamizi Island 2001, 2003 principally 2006. The results indicate it may be one few examples region that not yet suffered same level anthropogenic or natural disturbances other areas have suffered....
True’s beaked whales have a uniquely fragmented distribution of sightings recorded, mostly from stranding reports. The species is assumed to be associated with deep oceanic waters, occurring in both the northern and southern hemispheres. A hotspot for strandings hemisphere South Africa. third fourth reported Mozambique presented, first Tofo Beach, Inhambane Province. This event resulted carcasses being butchered bushmeat taken human consumption. report develops discusses strategies...
Speciation is a fundamental process in evolution and crucial to the formation of biodiversity. It continuous complex process, which can involve multiple interacting barriers leading heterogeneous genomic landscapes with various peaks divergence among populations. In this study, we used population genomics approach gain insights on speciation understand structure within genus Sousa across its distribution Indo-Pacific region. We found 5 distinct clusters, corresponding S. plumbea along...
The collections of the Natural History Museum Maputo have a crucial role in safeguarding Mozambique's biodiversity, representing an important repository data and materials regarding natural heritage country. In this paper, dataset is described, based on Museum's Entomological Collection recording 409 species belonging to seven orders 48 families. Each specimen's available data, such as geographical coordinates taxonomic information, been digitised build dataset. specimens included were...
Abstract Although the dugongs of Mozambique's Bazaruto Archipelago are last known viable subpopulation along East African coast, they remain threatened by a variety anthropogenic and natural pressures that must be addressed to ensure their persistence. We aimed establish recent trends in dugong abundance through series aerial surveys carried out between 2017 2021 over seascape. also assessed hotspots distribution this region where targeted conservation measures may prove most effective....
Nest site selection represents an important reproductive strategy for sea turtles as it can strongly affect the development and survival of offsprings fitness adults.In this study we analyzed nest loggerhead leatherback factors correlated with that at Inhaca Island.The spatial position nests was recorded during monitoring six nesting seasons were used.Satellite images used to characterize some beach features might be selection.Nest distribution analysis revealed tend spread their along...
