“…This result is consistent with several vertebrate studies that did not recover phylogeographic structure among sampled sites for Upper Guinea Forest species (Myonycteris and Megaloglossus, Nesi et al 2013;Pan: Gonder et al 2011, Lissonycteris: Nesi et al 2013, but are at odds with studies where substructure or deep breaks were recovered among sampled populations (Hylia: Marks et al 2010, Lemnomys: Nicolas et al 2008, Crocidura: Jacquet et al 2014. Such variation in phylogeographic patterns, ranging from deep genetic breaks among populations to no or little genetic variation and structure, despite high standing variation, highlights the need for additional phylogeographic studies of Upper Guinea Forest block taxa if any generalities are to be drawn.…”

“…The Time to Most Recent Common Ancestor for the Lower Guinea Forest haplotypes for caroli and nivosa are similar, and varied between 0.2 and 0.5 myr BP depending on the calibration used; this time frame is much older than the currently reconstructed or postulated refugia (Maley 1987, 1996, Endler 1982 suggesting the time frame of the paleobotanical reconstructions of the refugia locations are not necessarily applicable to most data sets as coalescent times of haplotypes tend to be much older. A similar case of no obvious genetic structure across such a large geographic area as the Lower Guinea Forest Block has to our knowledge only been recovered to date in one other bird species, the Olive Sunbird Nectarinia obscura (Bowie et al 2004), and the bat Myonycteris torquata (Nesi et al 2013).…”

We compared the phylogeographic history of two co-distributed sister-species of woodpeckers (Campethera caroli and C. nivosa) using data from three loci representing all inheritance modes.Our analyses revealed that both the Dahomey Gap and possibly the Lower Niger River acted as strong biogeographic barriers for the two woodpecker species, with the Lower Niger River being the first barrier to have formed, leading to three distinct populations of C. nivosa. Our divergence time analyses revealed that both these biogeographic barriers formed during the Pleistocene, supporting the Pleistocene refuge hypothesis, with the Dahomey Gap likely appearing about 0.5 myr BP. No genetic structure was recovered among sampled populations in either the Upper or the Lower Guinea Forest Block for both species, despite the considerable geographic area covered.

“…Similarly, the nuclear distances between the two Indochinese clades of T. robustula were between 0.41 and 0.56%, which is more than twice those calculated between Indochinese individuals of T. pachypus (0-0.2%; Appendix 5) and in the range of interspecific distances found in other groups of Laurasiatheria, such as fruit bats of the tribes Myonycterini (Nesi et al 2013) and Scotonycterini (Hassanin et al 2015), or cattle and buffalo of the tribe Bovini . Although none of the nuclear markers could be sequenced for Sumatran and Bornean Tylonycteris, their high mtDNA divergence from Indochinese populations (> 5.7 % in both COI and Cytb sequences; Appendix 5) suggests they might represent distinct lineages based on nuclear markers as well.…”

D N A L i b r a r y o f L i f e , r e s e a r c h a r t i c l eurn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:DEFAD552-9C2E-497B-83CA-1E04E3353EA4 Abstract. In Southeast Asia, bats of the genus Tylonycteris Peters, 1872 have traditionally been classified into two wide-ranging species, T. pachypus (Temminck, 1840) and T. robustula Thomas, 1915. Our comparative phylogeographic analyses based on two mitochondrial and seven nuclear genes, combined with our multivariate morphological analyses, show that these species actually represent cryptic species complexes that share a similar biogeographic history in three major regions, i.e., Sundaland, southern European Journal of Taxonomy 274: 1-38 (2017) 2 Indochina, and northern Indochina. Our molecular dating estimates suggest that Pleistocene climatic oscillations and sea level changes have repeatedly isolated ancestral populations of Tylonycteris spp. in distant bamboo forest refugia. The analyses indicate, however, that populations of the T. pachypus complex were less affected by forest fragmentation in mainland Southeast Asia than those of the T. robustula complex. Accordingly, we propose several taxonomic changes within the genus Tylonycteris: the species T. fulvida and T. malayana are revalidated, and a new species, T. tonkinensis Tu, Csorba, Ruedi & Hassanin sp. nov., endemic to northern Indochina, is described.

Abstract. In 1966, Robert William Hayman, Xavier Misonne and Walter Verheyen published their listing of the Congolese, Rwandan and Burundian bat specimens in the collections in the museums of Tervuren, Brussels, Geneva, London and New York. In the fifty years that have passed since, some major changes have been introduced in the taxonomy of the Chiroptera: new species have been discovered, species have been split off, species have been moved to other genera, and additional material has been collected. We re-evaluated the data presented by Hayman et al., and supplemented this with specimen records found in the literature and in online catalogs. This resulted in 136 species, represented by 20 231 specimens (compared to 113 species and 8567 specimens originally). When available, we also recorded additional information such as locality, sex and age, collector, collection date and preservation type of the voucher specimen. The distribution maps of the Congolese taxa are revised to represent the current taxonomy, and are presented in perspective against the taxon's Species Distribution Model to assess species distribution on the African continent. Additionally, an updated key to the various taxa is presented.
