Rickettsia felisinAedes albopictusMosquitoes, Libreville, Gabon

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
To the Editor: Rickettsia felis, an emerging pathogen first identified in the cat flea (1), has been detected in other fleas, ticks, mites, and booklice (2). R. felis can be cultured in mosquito cell lines derived from Anopheles gambiae and Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger) mosquitoes (2), so its compatibility with mosquitoes in nature can be suspected ...

Human and Environmental Factors Shape Tree Species Assemblages in West African Tropical Forests

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim This study investigated how human activities and local environmental variables shape tree assemblages (species composition in a defined location), comparing their effects on edible and inedible tree species. Three hypotheses were tested: (1) Environmental filtering impacts spatial beta‐diversity more than dispersal limitation; (2) human ...

The dry‐season low‐level cloud cover over western equatorial Africa: A case study with a mesoscale atmospheric model

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 151, Issue 769, April 2025 Part B.
The atmospheric mechanisms responsible for the low‐level cloud cover (LCC) over western equatorial Africa in the dry season are poorly studied. This study brings a better understanding of the mechanisms accounting for the diurnal LCC formation and dissipation, and it highlights some potential interactions between local and regional dynamics by using a ...

Rare Long‐Term Data Reveal the Seasonal Dietary Plasticity of Mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) in Response to Fruiting Tree Phenology

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 3, March 2025.
(A) Generalized additive models illustrating the relationship between day of year and overall dietary breadth (sum of different food types) and dietary fruit breadth (sum of fruit genera). Lines indicate the predicted binomial probability of a given food type being found in a fecal sample, on a given day of the year (Day 1 = January 1st).
