  • Genetic Diversity of the Chaerephon Leucogaster/Pumilus Complex From
    Genetic diversity of the Chaerephon leucogaster/pumilus complex from mainland Africa and the western Indian Ocean islands Theshnie Naidoo 202513500 Submitted in fulfillment of the academic Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Life Sciences, Westville Campus, University of KwaZulu – Natal, Durban. NOVEMBER 2013 Supervisory Committee Prof. JM. Lamb Dr. MC. Schoeman Dr. PJ. Taylor Dr. SM. Goodman i ABSTRACT Chaerephon (Dobson, 1874), an Old World genus belonging to the family Molossidae, is part of the suborder Vespertilioniformes. Members of this genus are distributed across mainland Africa (sample sites; Tanzania, Yemen, Kenya, Botswana, South Africa and Swaziland), its offshore islands (Zanzibar, Pemba and Mozambique Island), Madagascar and the surrounding western Indian Ocean islands (Anjouan, Mayotte, Moheli, Grande Comore, Aldabra and La Reunion). A multifaceted approach was used to elucidate the phylogenetic and population genetic relationships at varying levels amongst these different taxa. Working at the subspecific level, I analysed the phylogenetics and phylogeography of Chaerephon leucogaster from Madagascar, based on mitochondrial cytochrome b and control region sequences. Cytochrome b genetic distances among C. leucogaster samples were low (maximum 0.35 %). Genetic distances between C. leucogaster and C. atsinanana ranged from 1.77 % to 2.62 %. Together, phylogenetic and distance analyses supported the classification of C. leucogaster as a separate species. D-loop data for C. leucogaster samples revealed significant but shallow phylogeographic structuring into three latitudinal groups (13º S, 15 - 17º S, 22 - 23º S) showing exclusive haplotypes which correlated with regions of suitable habitat defined by ecological niche modelling. Population genetic analysis of D-loop sequences indicated that populations from Madagascar have been expanding since 5 842 - 11 143 years BP.

ZooKeys 572: 7–21.doi: 10.3897/zookeys.572.7823 Abstract The flea genus Araeopsylla Jordan and Rothschild, 1921 contains nine species distributed throughout the Palaearctic, Ethiopian and Oriental Regions primarily on mollosid bats. A new species of bat flea, Araeopsylla goodmani, is described. This new species is represented by three females collected from one male specimen of the mollosid bat Chaerephon jobimena Goodman & Cardiff, 2004 from Fianarantsoa Province, Madagascar. A second new species, Araeopsylla smiti, is described from one male from the Rift Valley, Kenya. It was collected from the molossid bat Chaerephon bivittatus (Heuglin, 1861). This rep- resents the first record of Araeopsylla in Kenya. Previous records of Araeopsylla in the Malagasy region included Araeopsylla martialis (Rothschild, 1903) from Reunion Island and Madagascar.

  • Dispersal of Semi-Fleshy Fruits to Rock Crevices by a Rock-Restricted Rodent

Heeria argentea’s AFFILIATION: unusual fruit and its ubiquity in extremely rocky habitats, suggests that this tree requires a specialist 1 Department of Biological disperser. We therefore investigated the dispersal ecology of H. argentea and Hartogiella schinoides. Sciences, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, We found M. namaquensis rapidly removed H. argentea and H. schinoides fruits, moving them short South Africa distances within and between rock outcrops, and consumed only the pericarps. Birds were observed consuming H. schinoides, but not H. argentea fruits, suggesting M. namaquensis is its sole, specialist CORRESPONDENCE TO: disperser. Most H. argentea seeds (65%) with removed pericarps germinated successfully, while intact Joseph White fruits did not. We show rock outcrops represent fire refugia, allowing H. argentea trees to grow to large sizes, with small stems and a co-occurring, wind-dispersed tree, Widdringtonia nodiflora found away EMAIL: [email protected] from these sites. This rodent–tree mutualism is perhaps the clearest global example of directed dispersal and shows that these endemic trees are highly adapted for survival in the southwestern Cape habitat and DATES: are not tropical relicts.

  • Rapid Pace of Species Extinctions Mounts to a 'Crisis'
    Rapid Pace of Species Extinctions Mounts to a 'Crisis' GLAND, Switzerland, November 3, 2009 (ENS) - Nearly one-third of all known species of plants and animals are threatened with extinction, finds the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, IUCN, in the most recent update of its authoritative Red List of Threatened Species� issued today. The updated assessment shows that 17,291 species out of the 47,677 assessed species are threatened with extinction. "The scientific evidence of a serious extinction crisis is mounting," warns Jane Smart, director of IUCN's Biodiversity Conservation Group. The IUCN finds that 21 percent of all known mammals, 30 percent of all known amphibians, 12 percent of all known birds, and 28 percent of reptiles, 37 percent of freshwater fishes, 70 percent of plants, 35 percent of invertebrates assessed so far are at risk. "This year's IUCN Red List makes for sobering reading," says Craig Hilton-Taylor, manager of the IUCN Red List Unit. "These results are just the tip of the iceberg. We have only managed to assess 47,663 species so far; there are many more millions out there which could be under serious threat." "We do, however, know from experience that conservation action works so let's not wait until it's too late and start saving our species now," urged Hilton- Taylor. Threatened by climate change, the hooded grebe, Podiceps gallardoi, of Argentina, was "January sees the launch of the International Year of uplisted from Near Threatened to Biodiversity, said Smart.
