Assessing the Conservation Status, Drivers of Threat and Available Occurrence Records of Sub‐Saharan African Freshwater Molluscs: Gaps and Patterns

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater molluscs are key bioindicators of ecosystem health, yet their conservation status and data coverage in sub‐Saharan Africa remain poorly understood. Mollusca is the third most evaluated phylum on the IUCN Red List in Africa, with 1394 species assessed (656 freshwater), of which 39.6% are Least Concern and 12% Critically Endangered ...

Diazotrophic Cyanobacteria are Associated With a Low Nitrate Resupply to Surface Waters in Lake Tanganyika

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
In Lake Tanganyika, blooms of nitrogen-fixing (diazotrophic) cyanobacteria emerge, when the upper water column re-stratifies after a period of upwelling and convective mixing.

Rural Capitalists and Development in Colonial Africa: A Comparative Analysis

Journal of Agrarian Change, Volume 26, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the emergence and role of rural capitalists in colonial Sub‐Saharan Africa by comparing three peasant‐based economies: Bechuanaland, the Gold Coast and Tanganyika. Using social tables, we estimate the population and income shares of better earning agricultural producers and assess their impact on rural inequality and ...

Novel complete mitochondrial genomes of eight riverine Lamprologus species (Actinopterygii, Cichlidae) suggest in-situ speciation of the blind cichlid L. lethops in the lower Congo River

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
Lamprologine cichlids include nearly 100 species from Lake Tanganyika, but only nine are known from the Congo River, including Lamprologus lethops, the only known blind cichlid. Little is known about its natural history.

Multispecies Niche Overlap: Moving Beyond Pairwise Metrics to Understand Community‐Wide Similarities in Resource Use

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Measures of niche overlap are important tools in various ecological and evolutionary studies. Here we create and apply a multispecies overlap metric to both simulated and empirical communities, illustrating how this methodology may capture interactions and structure of niche space in ways that traditional, pairwise metrics overlook.
