History of the fragmentation of the African rain forest in the Dahomey Gap: insight from the demographic history of Terminalia superba.

Heredity - 1 Jun 2018

Demenou Boris B, Doucet Jean-Louis, Hardy Olivier J

Abstract excerpt

Paleo-environmental reconstructions show that the distribution of tropical African rain forests was affected by Quaternary climate changes. They suggest that the Dahomey Gap (DG)-the savanna corridor that currently separates Upper Guinean (UG, West Africa) and Lower Guinean (LG, western Central Africa) rain forest blocks-was forested during the African Humid Holocene period (from at least 9 ka till 4.5 ka), and...
