Shrew species diversity and abundance in Ziama Biosphere Reserve, Guinea: comparison among primary forest, degraded forest and restoration plots

Abstract: The aim of our study was to compare the shrew community diversity and structure in gradients of tropical forest degradation and restoration. Four plots within each of six habitats of the Ziama Biosphere Reserve were surveyed, including primary forest, secondary forest, cultivated fields, recently (less than 3 years) abandoned fields, young (10-12 years) forest restoration plots, and old (34 years) restoration plots. From August to November 2003, we pitfall-trapped 2,509 shrews representing 11 species. Shrew sp… Show more

“…The two mtDNA lineages VI and VII form a unique lineage based on nuclear T A B L E 1 Geographical distribution and habitat requirements of the main lineages recovered in the phylogenetic analysis. Data based on Hutterer and Happold (1983), Nicolas et al (2009), and the present study (see Table S1). The four biogeographical units (Guinean Rain forest, Congolian Rain forest, Sudanian Savanna, Zambezian woodland) were defined based on Happold and Lock (2013) and I-4) and the second grouping specimens from all other localities.…”

“…The validity of several species still needs to be assessed as well as the geographical distribution of most species (Happold & Happold, ; Hutterer, ). A robust and reliable taxonomic framework is not only essential to understand the evolutionary history of this complex but also for other fields of science such as epidemiology ( C. theresae is a reservoir of a distinct hantavirus; Klempa et al., ) or conservation (Nicolas, Barrière, Tapiero, & Colyn, ).…”

“…On the basis of several biodiversity surveys of Mount Nimba (Heim de Balsac, 1958; Coe, 1975; Verschuren & Meester, 1977) and surrounding areas in Lamto (Côte d'Ivoire) (Heim de Balsac, 1974), Tai (Côte d'Ivoire) (Churchfield et al ., 2004), and Ziama (Guinea) (Nicolas et al ., 2009), two genera and 11 shrew species are known from the massif: C. nimbae , C. goliath nimbasilvanus , C. obscurior , C. jouvenetae , C. theresae , C. buettikoferi Jentink, 1888, C. grandiceps Hutterer, 1983, C. douceti Heim de Balsac, 1958, C. muricauda Miller, 1900, C. olivieri Lesson, 1827, and Suncus megalura Jentink, 1888. Amongst these species, C. buettikoferi , C. theresae , and C. grandiceps are closely related taxa (Dubey et al ., 2006), although they can be separated by diagnostic morphological characters (Heim de Balsac, 1958).…”

“…Crocidura jouvenetae was also a ubiquitous species, although it was clearly associated with secondary forest. Crocidura olivieri was only found in primary forest, although this is usually the most frequent species in villages and the agricultural landscape, where it is often present at a high density (Kadjo et al 1996, Lim and Van de Groot Coeverden 1997, Decher et al 2005, Nicolas et al 2009). It is widespread throughout much of Africa, where it is characterized by many genetic lineages (Dubey et al 2007 ).…”
