Just the tip of the iceberg: uncovering a hyperdiverse clade of African (, , ) species with signs of evolutionary habitat adaptations.

The diversity within the ectomycorrhizal genus Russula (Basidiomycota) in West Africa is largely unexplored. The study area was Benin, where only ten out of the 159 species endemic to tropical Africa have been previously reported. We focused on "", which is a monophyletic lineage within Russulasubgen.

A checklist of vascular plants of the W National Park in Burkina Faso, including the adjacent hunting zones of Tapoa-Djerma and Kondio.

Background: The W National Park and its two hunting zones represent a unique ecosystem in Burkina Faso for biodiversity conservation. This study aims at providing a detailed view of the current state of the floristic diversity as a baseline for future projects aiming at protecting and managing its resources. We combined intensive inventories and distribution records from vegetation plots, photo records and herbarium collections.

Re-evaluation of von Frauenfeld, 1862 and Gittenberger, 1980, including the description of two new Iberian species using Computer Tomography (CT) (Eupulmonata, Ellobioidea, Carychiidae).

The present study aims to clarify the confused taxonomy of von Frauenfeld, 1862 and Gittenberger, 1980. Revision of Iberian micro snails is severely hindered by uncertainties regarding the identity of the oldest Iberian species, von Frauenfeld, 1862. In this paper, we clarify its taxonomic status by designating a lectotype from the original syntype series and by describing its internal and external shell morphology.
