چکیده
This an electronic supplement of the paper ”Tracers of uplift and subsidence in the Cape Verde Archipelago”. The objective of this supplement is to provide more detailed information on the volcanostratigraphy of some of the Cape Verde islands mentioned in the main text, and a detailed description of key palaeo-markers of relative sea-level height used to track the history of vertical movements affecting those islands.

Explosive radiation of Cape Verde Conus, a marine species flock.
Nearly 50 species of the marine gastropod genus Conus are restricted to the Cape Verde archipelago. This unusual concentration of endemics within a single set of oceanic islands is extremely uncharacteristic of marine taxa. Here we used phylogenetic analyses of 90 Conus species, including 30 endemics from Cape Verde, to reveal the relationships and origins of the endemic Cape Verde Conus. Resul...
متن کاملPatterns of Diversity of the Rissoidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda) in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Region
The geographical distribution of the Rissoidae in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea was compiled and is up-to-date until July 2011. All species were classified according to their mode of larval development (planktotrophic and nonplanktotrophic), and bathymetrical zonation (shallow species--those living between the intertidal and 50 m depth, and deep species--those usually living below 50...
متن کاملPatterns of genetic diversity in three plant lineages endemic to the Cape Verde Islands
Conservation of plant diversity on islands relies on a good knowledge of the taxonomy, distribution and genetic diversity of species. In recent decades, a combination of morphology- and DNA-based approaches has become the standard for investigating island plant lineages and this has led, in some cases, to the discovery of previously overlooked diversity, including 'cryptic species'. The flora o...
متن کاملMitochondrial portrait of the Cabo Verde archipelago: the Senegambian outpost of Atlantic slave trade.
In order to study the matrilineal genetic composition in Cabo Verde (Republic of Cape Verde), an archipelago that used to serve as a Portuguese entrepôt of the Atlantic slave trade, we have analysed a total of 292 mtDNAs sampled from the seven inhabited islands for the hypervariable segment I (HVS-I) and some characteristic RFLPs of the coding regions. The different settlement history of the no...
متن کاملMosquito fauna on the Cape Verde Islands (West Africa): an update on species distribution and a new finding.
To evaluate the risk of transmission of vector-borne diseases, regular updates of the geographic distribution of insect vectors are required. In the archipelago of Cape Verde, nine mosquito species have been reported. Of these, four are major vectors of diseases that have been present in the archipelago: yellow fever, lymphatic filariasis, malaria and, currently, an outbreak of dengue. In order...
