“…buntingi (Thomas, 1911) One specimen was trapped in Altou Fonkola (Line F: gallery forest). This was not karyotyped and is provisionally attributed to G. buntingi already described in forests and Guinean savannah of Senegal (Hubert et al 1973;Duplantier et al 1993), as well as in forest Guinea by Heim de Balsac and Lamotte (1958), Ivory Coast (Heim de Balsac & Aellen 1965), Sierra Leone (Grubb et al 1998), Liberia (Thomas 1911). It was not reported by Roche (1971) or Ziegler et al (2002).…”

“…Some of the species captured in this transect are known from Senegal and are present in the Hubert et al (1973) list updated by Duplantier and Granjon (1992) (Table V). By comparison with Mali, one notes the absence of sahelo-sudanian elements such as Taterillus, Gerbillus spp., M. haussa, M. musculoides but some sudanian-guinean taxa like A. ansorgei, L. striatus, T. guineae, M. mattheyi that are common between both countries.…”

We compiled the first taxonomic inventory of rodents inhabiting the region from northwestern Guinea to coastal Guinea and this enabled an improved understanding of the rodent fauna of this unexplored region at the western margin of the guineo-congolese forest block. Through standard cytogenetic and morphological analyses we described the presence of two sibling species of the genus Mastomys in West Africa. We report here the first records for Guinea of Arvicanthis ansorgei and M. mattheyi. Our data indicated an extension of the known distribution of Lemniscomys striatus to include the western region of the range of Lophuromys cf. sikapusi. A comparison between southern Senegal, southern Mali, Ivory Coast and eastern Guinea assemblages shows some differences in the rodents between eastern and western Guinea as well as with the surrounding countries. It appears that coastal Guinea could correspond to a transition zone between forest and savanna but this region appears to be ecologically highly degraded in terms of its small mammal communities. Rattus rattus is found in all sampled localities but Mus musculus is restricted to one locality where it was the dominant species of the assemblage. Our study highlights the importance of surveys of rodent biodiversity in unexplored zones.

A cytotaxonomic and DNA-based survey of rodents from Northern Cameroon and Western Chad

et al. 2011

a b s t r a c tRodent diagnosis has long remained obscured by the co-existence of cryptic species in many lineages. However, alternative and accessible methods, such as cytotaxonomy and DNA-based methods, are now available that allow biologists to accurately monitor biodiversity through the production of well documented lists of unambiguously species-specific identifications. As a continuation of our previous surveys of West African rodents, we here present the first rodent inventory of rodents from Northern Cameroon (as well as one locality in Western Chad) that fully relies on karyotypic and/or sequencing data. Doing so, we assess the presence of 18 species in this poorly documented region. Among them, we found several African spiny mice that could be referred as to A. johannis, a poorly documented species. Moreover, several Arvicanthis individuals could be aggregated with previously studied but still enigmatic specimens of ANI-2 and ANI-4 sensu Volobouev et al. (2002a,b), thus suggesting that they may all belong to one single species, namely A. rufinus. In addition, one specimen was shown to belong to a new biological species (Praomys sp.) that will deserve further taxonomic investigations. Finally, several Taterillus specimens were found with 2n = 28-30 chromosomes and a XX/XY1Y2 sex chromosome system. On the basis of these new results as well as a reinterpretation of previously published data, we propose to refer these individuals as to the poorly documented Taterillus lacustris. Altogether, our data suggest that Northern Cameroon is a "phylogeographical node" for several rodent lineages which may be at least partly explained by the past changes within the Lake Chad basin. Keeping this in mind, there is little doubt that biodiversity will undergo important modifications in the coming decades, following the increasing aridity and the drastic reduction of Lake Chad.

This new check-list of the rodents of Senegal contains six more species than the previous one published by Hubert et al. (1973): Arvicanthis sp., Mastomys natalensis, Steatomys cuppedius, Gerbillus henleyi, Gerbillus cf. pyramidum and Jaculus jaculus. Moreover, the names of other species and genera have been corrected according to the more recent taxonomic reviews. Today, the check-list of Senegalese rodents is thus composed of thirty seven species belonging to ten different families. Resume. -Cette liste revisee des Rongeurs du Senegal comporte six especes de plus que celle publiee par Hubert et al.

Outre ces ajouts, les noms d'especes et de genres ont etc corriges en function des revisions taxonomiques les plus recentes. La liste des Rongeurs du Senegal comporte done aujourd'hui trente-sept especes appartenant a dix families.
