متن کاملTerrestrial molluscs of Pemba Island, Zanzibar, Tanzania, and its status as an “oceanic” island
Pemba is thought to have had a longer and/or stronger history of isolation than its better-known counterpart, Unguja.

متن کاملThe Fringing Reef Coasts of Eastern Africa
Sea-level changes through the Quaternary era have provided recurrent opportunities for the biosphere to significantly shape the coastal geomorphology of eastern Africa. Key agents in this shaping have been the calcium carbonate-fixing biota that have constructed the oceanfacing fringing reefs and produced the extensive backreef sediments that form the limestone platforms, cliffs and terraces th...
