Cryptic diversity of Crocidura shrews in the savannahs of eastern and southern Africa.

The lions of Somalia: a review of available morphological and socio-ecological data

There is an increased recognition of the threat status of the African lion ( Panthera leo ), once a widespread top predator of open African habitats. However, our knowledge about the biology of the…

Position of the ammodile and the origin of Gerbillinae (Rodentia): Out of the Horn of Africa?

Phylogenetic reconstructions robustly supported Ammodillus as a sister taxon to all other living gerbillines and suggested that the separation of the ammodile lineage dates back to the Middle/Late Miocene boundary (~11.7 Mya).

Micro-cursorial mammals from the late Eocene tufas at Eocliff, Namibia

Fossils of macroscelideans, or micro-cursorial mammals, are common and diverse at Eocliff in the Sperrgebiet, Namibia, a complex of tufa deposits of Bartonian-Priabonian age. Associated mammals…

Biogeography of Angolan rodents: The first glimpse based on phylogenetic evidence

Assessment of phylogenetic diversity and biogeographical affinities of the rodent fauna from one of the most neglected areas in Africa shows clear trends in phylogenetic Diversity and Biogeographical Affinities.

Multiple radiations of spiny mice (Rodentia: Acomys) in dry open habitats of Afro-Arabia: evidence from a multi-locus phylogeny

The most thorough phylogenetic reconstruction of Acomys is provided and major factors that influenced its evolutionary history since the late Miocene are identified, including repeated “out-of-East-Africa” dispersal events into western Africa, the Mediterranean region and Arabia.

On the role of (and threat to) natural history museums in mammal conservation: an African small mammal perspective

Abstract. The global environment is faced with growing threats from anthropogenic disturbance, propelling the Earth into a 6th mass extinction. For the world's mammals, this is reflected in the fact…

New records of a lost species and a geographic range expansion for sengis in the Horn of Africa

New evidence that the Somali Sengi is currently extant is reported and an analysis of ancestral biogeography suggests that the species has inhabited the Horn of Africa for more than 5.4 million years—and the recognition of the species’ phylogenetic ancestry appends the already remarkable biogeographic story of the Macroscelidini tribe.

Molecular characterization of Acomys louisae from Somaliland: a deep divergence and contrasting genetic patterns in a rift zone

The population parameters and haplotypes suggest that the populations belonging to the Somaliland clade probably underwent a recent expansion of its range and population size, and the Djibouti group shows extremely high nucleotide diversity besides that of haplotype one, which suggests a long-term persistence of large and/or structured populations.

Inferring the mammal tree: Species-level sets of phylogenies for questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation

Credible sets of mammalian phylogenetic history are developed, enabling investigations of long-standing questions in comparative biology, and finding that node ages are broadly concordant among studies, and recent rates of speciation are estimated more accurately in this study than in previous "supertree" approaches.
