Article Synopsis
- Species richness is crucial for understanding biodiversity, highlighting under-studied groups like Darwin wasps, where previous estimates suggested nearly 11,000 species compared to only 2,322 recorded.
- New estimates based on various data sources indicate that only 13-22% of Darwin wasp species are known in five heavily studied Afrotropical countries, with estimates of total species ranging from 9,206 to 15,577.
- Factors contributing to the gap between recorded and estimated species richness include logistical and financial challenges, alongside post-colonial influences affecting research efforts.
The evolutionary effects of glacial periods are poorly understood for Southern Hemisphere marine intertidal species, particularly obligatory sessile organisms. We examined this by assessing the phylogeographic patterns of the southern African volcano barnacle, Tetraclita serrata, a dominant species on rocky intertidal shores. Restricted gene flow in some geographical areas was hypothesized based on oceanic circulation patterns and known biogeographic regions.
