Abstract:

Epilithic diatom of the Ivory Coast is very poorly understood, aims of this study are: to document the epilithic diatom diversity from Naviculales. In this study, the epilithic diatoms in the samples collected from ten stations on the Me River between February and July 2012. A total of 56 Naviculales new taxa in 8 families were recorded. The taxonomic composition observed was dominated by Naviculaceae and Pinnulariaceae.

Infrasound from lightning measured in Ivory Coast

Previous measurement campaign, realized in France in 2005, has shown that an infrasound station can clearly measure thunder when lightning occur within 75 km from the station. In this paper, infrasound data recorded in Ivory Coast since 2005 are analyzed and compared to WWLLN data in order to quantify statistically the main trends observed in 2005. The main results are : (1) the (infrasonic) th...

Avian Cestodes of the Ivory Coast

Between 1985 and 1988, the cestodes of 1,252 wild birds (174 species) from the Ivory Coast (West Africa) were collected and studied. Of these birds, 15.7% were parasitized by an estimated 95-100 species of tapeworms, 55 of them having been determined or described. Most of the parasites were found in new hosts, and numerous new geographical records are reported. In general, both the prevalence a...

A new species of Furculanurida (Collembola: Neanuridae) from Ivory Coast, with comments on related genera.

A new species of Pseudachorutinae, Furculanurida emucronata sp. nov., is described from Lamto in the Ivory Coast. It differs from all known Pseudachorutinae species by the presence of a strong lateral tooth on the claw of leg I, and from other species of the genus Furculanurida by the absence of a mucro. It is provisionally assigned to the genus Furculanurida which is redefined accordingly. The...
