The objective of this study is to contribute to a better knowledge of the bioecology of the species in Benin in order to inform decisions on the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources of W national park. Our methodological approach included remote sensing technique…

Modeling of the ecological niche and conservation strategies of Vitellaria paradoxa C. F. Gaertn in Benin (West Africa).

Vitellaria paradoxa is an important agroforestry species with a high socio-economic importance in Benin and West Africa. However, its conservation and domestication for the diversification of agricultural production depends on its adaptation capacity to climate change. Thus, 9941 occurrences from GB…

Spatial distribution and ecological niche modelling of Triplochiton scleroxylon K. Schum., in the Guineo-Congolese region of Benin (West Africa)

International Journal of Biological and Chemical Sciences

Triplochiton sleroxylon (samba) is a West and Central African forest species of high socio-economic value which is increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures from various sources. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of climate change on the spatial distribution of Triplochiton …

Vulnerability of African Rosewood (Pterocarpus erinaceus, Fabaceae) natural stands to climate change and implications for silviculture in West Africa

Heliyon

Pterocarpus erinaceus is a native tree species of the Guineo-Sudanian and Sudano-Sahelian zones where natural stands are under constant pressure and heavily exploited for timber, animal feeding and others uses. A part from the overexploitation, climate change could also become a serious threat to th…

Mapping mycological ignorance – checklists and diversity patterns of fungi known for West Africa

IMA Fungus

Scientific information about biodiversity distribution is indispensable for nature conservation and sustainable management of natural resources. For several groups of animals and plants, such data are available, but for fungi, especially in tropical regions like West Africa, they are mostly missing.…

Documenting museum records of West African Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) in Benin and Senegal

Biodiversity Data Journal

This work provides a preliminary inventory of West African Coccinellidae. This was based on the West African Coccinellidae (WAC) specimens in the holdings of insect collections at the Laboratoire de Zoologie des Invertébrés Terrestres at the Institut Fondamental d’Afrique Noire Cheikh Anta…

Spatial distribution, ecological niche and conservation strategies for Sitatunga (Tragelaphus spekii, sclater) in the context of climate and global ch…

Mammals attached to inland wetlands are globally threatened and few of them are classified as critically endangered. Tragelaphus spekii is a species in this rank of mammal and is listed on the IUCN site. It is therefore important to undertake studies for its conservation. This study was carried out …

Distribution of favorable habitats and conservation of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) in the context of climate change in Benin (West Afric…

Climate Change is a potential threat to wild mammalian fauna, especially to endangered species like the African elephant, whose ranges are restricted. This threat is increasing as population growth contributes to the fragmentation of the species' habitats. In this study, we used species distribution…
