Biodiversity research in tropical ecosystems--popularized as the most biodiverse habitats on Earth--often neglects invertebrates, yet invertebrates represent the bulk of local species richness. Insect communities in particular remain strongly impeded by both Linnaean and Wallacean shortfalls, and identifying species often remains a formidable challenge inhibiting the use of these organisms as indicators for ecological and conservation studies. Here we use DNA barcoding as an alternative to the traditional taxonomic approach for characterizing and comparing the diversity of moth communities in two different ecosystems in Gabon. Though sampling remains very incomplete, as evidenced by the high proportion (59%) of species represented by singletons, our results reveal an outstanding diversity. With about 3500 specimens sequenced and representing 1385 BINs (Barcode Index Numbers, used as a proxy to species) in 23 families, the diversity of moths in the two sites sampled is higher than the current number of species listed for the entire country, highlighting the huge gap in biodiversity knowledge for this country. Both seasonal and spatial turnovers are strikingly high (18.3% of BINs shared between seasons, and 13.3% between sites) and draw attention to the need to account for these when running regional surveys. Our results also highlight the richness and singularity of savannah environments and emphasize the status of Central African ecosystems as hotspots of biodiversity. Key words: community ecology, DNA barcodes, Lepidoptera, taxonomic deficit, tropical Africa. La recherche sur la biodiversite dans les ecosystemes tropicaux--presentes comme les habitats les plus riches en biodiversite sur la Terre--neglige souvent les invertebres qui constituent pourtant la part la plus importante de cette richesse en especes. Les communautes d'insectes en particulier sont particulierement affectees par les lacunes de connaissances, tant d'un point de vue taxonomique (le deficit Linneen) que du point de vue de notre comprehension de la distribution des especes (le deficit Wallaceen), de telle maniere que l'identification des especes demeure un defi considerable, limitant l'utilisation de ces de ces organismes comme indicateurs dans le cadre d'etudes d'ecologie et de conservation. Dans ce travail, les auteurs utilisent les codes-barres ADN comme alternative a l'approche taxonomique conventionnelle pour caracteriser et comparer la diversite des communautes de papillons de nuit au sein de deux ecosystemes contrastes au Gabon. Bien que l'echantillonnage demeure tres incomplet, comme en temoigne la grande proportion (59 %) d'especes presentes sous forme de singleton, les resultats revelent une diversite extraordinaire. Avec ses 3500 specimens sequences, lesquels englobent 1385 BIN (<< Barcode Index Number >>, assimiles a des especes) au sein de 23 familles, la diversite des papillons de nuit au sein des deux sites echantillonnes est plus elevee que le nombre total d'especes jusqu'alors repertoriees pour le pays entier. Ceci souligne les lacunes enormes en matiere de connaissance de la biodiversite de ce pays. Le taux de remplacement des especes, tant saisonnier que spatial, est etonnamment eleve (18,3 % des BIN partages entre saisons, 13,3 % entre les deux sites), ce qui indique la necessite d'en tenir compte lors de la realisation d'inventaires regionaux. Ces resultats soulignent egalement la richesse et la singularite des savanes et font ressortir le fait que les ecosystemes de l'Afrique Centrale constituent des zones extremement riches en biodiversite. Mots-cles : ecologie des communautes, codes-barres ADN, lepidopteres, deficit taxonomique, Afrique tropicale., Introduction Tropical ecosystems host unrivalled species richness (Kier et al. 2005; Myers 1984; Myerset al. 2000),a fact that has long captivated public attention and raised concerns about the way to [...]

International audience; In recent years, we have undertaken a technological reappraisal (productional and techno-functional analysis) of several lithic collections attributed to the Acheulean on typological basis during the 20th century and located on the Atlantic coast of Sub-Saharan Africa. This article presents a summary of the work carried out, in progress and to come. Based on the successive synthesis of chronostratigraphic and technological data from each of these lithic assemblages, we discuss the idea of an “African Acheulean”.Despite that this idea of “African Acheulean” masks a technocultural diversity that is still underestimated for the Middle Pleistocene, it remains well anchored in the current prehistoric archaeological research. Concurrently, it appears that the low-resolution geoarchaeological context and the lack of dating for this Atlantic African area are among the pitfalls that have led prehistorians to compare the assemblages discovered to the well-contextualised corpus of South, East and North Africa. Today, new chronological data on some of these Atlantic African assemblages seem to allow a new episteme for these regions thanks to the rising comprehension of local phenomena.The different examples from Senegal, Central African Republic, Gabon, Angola and Namibia gradually highlight the specificities of Earlier Stone Age technical expressions and the existence of local trajectories on the Atlantic fringe, pointing to the need to consider Earlier Stone Age on a regional or even local scale rather than continental scale. Finally, this leads to questioning the existence of specific chronological and techno-cultural scenarios in West Africa – and why not a “west side story”.; Au cours des dernières années, nous avons entrepris la révision technoproductionnelle et/ou technofonctionnelle de collections lithiques de la façade atlantique de l'Afrique subsaharienne, attribuées à l'Acheuléen sur des bases typologiques au cours du xx e siècle. Cet article se présente comme un résumé des travaux réalisés, en cours et à venir. À partir de la synthèse des données chronostratigraphiques puis technologiques de chacun de ces assemblages lithiques, nous discutons l'idée d'un Acheuléen « africain ». Pourtant bien ancrée dans les paradigmes actuels de la Préhistoire ancienne du continent, cette idée masque une diversité technoculturelle encore sous-estimée pour le Pléistocène moyen. Parallèlement, il semblerait que les contextes géoarchéologiques à faible résolution et le manque de datations pour cet espace atlantique africain soient autant d'écueils qui ont conduit, pendant longtemps, les préhistoriens à étudier ces assemblages en se référant aux corpus bien contextualisés de l'Afrique du Sud, de l'Est et du Nord. Aujourd'hui, de nouvelles données chronologiques pour certains de ces assemblages ouest-africains et centre-africains, ainsi que de nouveaux sites, semblent permettre une nouvelle épistémê pour ces régions grâce la compréhension de phénomènes locaux. Ces différents exemples du Sénégal, de la République centrafricaine, du Gabon, de l'Angola et de la Namibie mettent peu à peu en lumière les spécificités des expressions techniques Earlier Stone Age et l'existence de trajectoires locales sur la façade atlantique. Ils contribuent également à mettre en exergue la nécessité de considérer les industries anciennes africaines à échelle régionale, voire locale, plutôt que continentale. Enfin se pose la question de l'existence de scénarios spécifiques sur le plan tant chronologique que technoculturel à l'ouest du continent africain-et pourquoi pas d'une nouvelle « west side story ».

- Abstract
Summary: Understanding the distribution and extent of suitable habitats is critical for the conservation of endangered and endemic taxa. Such knowledge is limited for many Central African species, including the rare and globally threatened Grey-necked Picathartes Picathartes oreas , one of only two species in the family Picathartidae endemic to the forests of Central Africa. Despite growing concerns about land-use change resulting in fragmentation and loss of forest cover in the region, neither the extent of suitable habitat nor the potential species' distribution is well known. We combine 339 (new and historical) occurrence records of Grey-necked Picathartes with environmental variables to model the potential global distribution. We used a Maximum Entropy modelling approach that accounted for sampling bias. Our model suggests that Grey-necked Picathartes distribution is strongly associated with steeper slopes and high levels of forest cover, while bioclimatic, vegetation health, and habitat condition variables were all excluded from the final model. We predicted 17,327 km
2 of suitable habitat for the species, of which only 2,490 km2 (14.4%) are within protected areas where conservation designations are strictly enforced. These findings show a smaller global distribution of predicted suitable habitat forthe Grey-necked Picathartes than previously thought. This work provides evidence to inform a revision of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List status, and may warrant upgrading the status of the species from "Near Threatened" to "Vulnerable".

- Abstract
Des études paléoenvironnementales antérieures ont montré que des changements majeurs de la végétation et de l’environnement se sont produits en Afrique centrale à partir de l’Holocène moyen (ex. Maley & Brenac 1998). Plusieurs d’entre elles mettent en évidence une origine humaine et supposent que les grandes migrations de population, les innovations techniques (par exemple, la technologie de la fonte du fer) et/ou de nouveaux choix dans les pratiques agricoles, conduisant à la déforestation et au défrichement, sont les moteurs de ces changements. Cependant, à ce stade, l’absence de reconstitution démographique ne permet pas de soutenir pleinement ces hypothèses. Notre étude utilise une base de données archéologiques géoréférencées pour déduire la dynamique des populations et l’évolution des pratiques culturelles en Afrique centrale occidentale au cours des 5000 dernières années. Cette base de données comprend 1139 dates calibrées au 14C provenant de 425 sites – localisés dans le sud du Cameroun, au Gabon, en République du Congo, en Guinée équatoriale et dans la partie occidentale de la République démocratique du Congo –, remontant à un maximum de 5000 ans cal. BP. La modélisation des données indique une possible croissance de la population entre ~2500 et ~1500 ans cal. BP, coïncidant avec l’apparition à l’échelle régionale de techniques et de pratiques spécifiques. L’augmentation concomitante des fosses dépotoirs, des vestiges d’utilisation de palmier à huile Elaeis guineesis, l’apparition de rares restes de millet Pennisetum glaucum et la montée en puissance des vestiges de métallurgie du fer ont eu lieu pendant la seconde moitié du Néolithique, à partir d’environ 2800 ans cal. BP. Dans les régions côtières, la croissance de la population concerne le Néolithique et le début de l’âge du fer (2500-2000 ans cal. BP et 2000-1500 ans cal. BP), tandis que dans l’Hinterland cette croissance semble légèrement plus tardive (2400 et 1300 ans cal. BP). Il n’est pas possible d’identifier un phénomène commun de diffusion à partir d’un seul centre. Les innovations techniques et les nouvelles pratiques semblent plutôt s’être répandues à travers un large réseau d’interactions culturelles qui a favorisé la formation des sociétés d’Afrique centrale occidentale au cours du troisième millénaire avant notre ère. Palaeocological studies show that major vegetation and environmental changes occurred in Central Africa from the mid-Holocene (e.g. Maley & Brenac 1998). Several suggest a human origin and assume that large population migration, technical innovations (e.g. iron-smelting technology) and/or change in agricultural practice, leading to deforestation and land clearance, are the drivers of these changes. However, at this stage, the lack of demographic reconstruction does not fully support these hypotheses. Here, a georeferenced archaeological database is used to infer population dynamics and the evolution of cultural practices in Western Central Africa over the last 5000 years. This database includes 1139 14C calibrated dates from 425 sites throughout southern Cameroon, Gabon, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea and the western part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, dating back a maximum of 5000 cal. yr BP. Data modelling indicate possible population growth from 2500 to 1500 cal. yr BP, coinciding with the occurrence at a regional scale of specific techniques and practices. The concomitant increase of refuse pits, palm oil Elaeis guineesis and iron metallurgy (plus rare remains of millet Pennisetum glaucum) took place during the second half of the Neolithic, beginning around 2800 cal. yr BP. In the coastal regions, the population growth concerns the Neolithic and the Early Iron Age (2500–2000 cal. yr BP and 2000–1500 cal. yr BP), while in the Hinterland population growth seems slightly later (2400 and 1300 cal. yr BP). It is not possible to identify a common diffusion phenomenon from a single homeland. Rather, technical innovations and new practices appear to have spread through a wide network of cultural interactions, which fostered the formation of Western Central African societies during the third millennium.

Le sauvetage archéologique du site de Dibamba Yassa, à l’entrée de la ville de Douala (Cameroun), par une équipe franco-camerounaise conduite par l’Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD), a mis au jour plus de 20 000 tessons de poterie. Ils ont permis de définir cinq traditions céramiques se succédant sur 2 500 ans dans une région encore inconnue des archéologues. Le cadre chrono-stylistique, que les résultats permettent de construire, ouvre des possibilités de réflexions nouvelles sur l’histoire des interactions culturelles en Afrique centrale atlantique depuis le début de l’âge du fer ancien. Par ailleurs, la répartition spatiale des structures archéologiques suggère la possible apparition de villages-rues dès le début de la séquence chronologique. The archaeological rescue of Dibamba Yassa at the entrance to the city of Douala (Cameroon), by a Franco-Cameroonian team led by the IRD, uncovered more than 20,000 sherds of pottery allowing the definition of five successive ceramic traditions over 2,500 years, in a region still little-known to archaeologists. The chrono-stylistic framework that these results allow us to reconstruct opens up new possibilities for reflection on the history of cultural interactions in Central Africa since the beginning of the Early Iron Age. Finally, the spatial distribution of archaeological structures suggests the possible appearance of street villages at the beginning of the chronological sequence.

International Symposium, Ulsan, KOR, -; Rock engravings represent a particularly rich and moving dimension of prehistory. They seem to constitute one of the first, frustrated and clumsy scriptures that man in his desire to express himself, has entrusted to the rock in an eternal message. These petroglyphs thus represents a kind of documentary film on the spiritual aspirations of prehistoric peoples. We will present the rock art within the regional framework peculiar to West Central Africa and then discuss the rock engravings of the valley of Ogooué. We will explain how the rock engravings contributed to the classification of the Lopé National Park as a World Heritage Site.

An update is provided of current knowledge of the herpetofauna and batrachofauna recorded from caves in Gabon, western Equatorial Africa. No systematic field survey of reptiles and amphibians in Gabonese cave environments has yet been made, and data are available for only 19 (complexes of) caves. This compilation of published records and new observations includes seven reptile and at least nine amphibian species. None of them is restricted to cave environments, and most of the species are adaptable ecologically, being known from pristine as well as from highly degraded environments. All of them can be regarded as trogloxenes. Dedicated surveys, using appropriate methods, will certainly increase this species list considerably.

Head of female with a black lower lips, infraorbital region with a red macule. Head of female with black lower lips, infraorbital region with red macule. FINS. Male dorsal fin grey-blue with rows of red dots between rays. Anal fin grey-blue with some small red dots in posterobasal region. Caudal fin grey-blue with many red dots and some carmine red streaks in upper and lower lobes. Female dorsal fin greyish, with rows of red dots between rays. Anal fin greyish, with rows of red dots between rays. Caudal fin greyish, with rows of red dots between rays. Distribution and habitat This species has been found at seven localities (for three of them, specimens have not been studied or deposited in a museum) in the Awagn�� River Basin (Table 1, Fig. 1), has never been found elsewhere and seems to be endemic to this hydrographic basin. It lives in small, secondary rivers and small, forest streams, often with a sandy bottom, where it can be found along the riverbanks. It hides quickly in water plants or dead leaves. In one locality, the bottom is muddy, the water quite stagnant and some fish have even been observed in small water holes. The uppermost locality is Lake Ndaminz��, which is about 1 km long: the species was found only under the shadow of large trees, hidden in the roots near the banks. This species was found in syntopy with an undescribed species of Aphyosemion and an undescribed species of Epiplatys. At one single locality in the Mbomba River, a tributary of the Awagn�� River, it was found in syntopy with Poropanchax stigmatopygus (Wildekamp & Malumbres, 2004)., Published as part of Agn��se, Jean-Fran��ois, Chirio, Laurent, Legros, Olivier, Oslisly, Richard & Bh��, Herv�� Mv��, 2018, Unexpected discovery of six new species of Aphyosemion (Cyprinodontiformes, Aplocheilidae) in the Wonga-Wongu�� Presidential Reserve in Gabon, pp. 1-28 in European Journal of Taxonomy 471 on pages 9-12, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2018.471, http://zenodo.org/record/3825049

The species has never been found elsewhere and seems to be endemic to this part of the lower Ogoou�� hydrographic basin. The habitat of this species differs quite significantly from that of the five other species: all specimens were found in 3 to 5 metre wide rivers with fast running water, and sandy bottoms with no aquatic vegetation. They were hidden in tree roots along the riverbanks, or under dead leaves at the mouth of small secondary brooks, but they were not found in the small brooks themselves. This species was found in syntopy with an undescribed species of Aphyosemion and an undescribed species of Plataplochilus., Published as part of Agn��se, Jean-Fran��ois, Chirio, Laurent, Legros, Olivier, Oslisly, Richard & Bh��, Herv�� Mv��, 2018, Unexpected discovery of six new species of Aphyosemion (Cyprinodontiformes, Aplocheilidae) in the Wonga-Wongu�� Presidential Reserve in Gabon, pp. 1-28 in European Journal of Taxonomy 471 on pages 21-24, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2018.471, http://zenodo.org/record/3825049

MARSHES , *SAVANNAS , *NATIONAL parks & reserves , *X-ray fluorescence , *SEDIMENT analysis - Abstract
Holocene paleoecological studies in tropical Africa are rare because most lakes either dried out at the termination of the African Humid Period or have since filled up. However, tropical sedge marshes can be an alternative to perform long-term ecological studies. The Lopé National Park (LNP) in Gabon is a mosaic of forest and savanna enclosed in the equatorial forest, where open areas facilitated the development of peat marshes accumulating several-meter-thick sediment. In order to reconstruct the historical dynamic in these marshes through a local and regional point of view, we compared sedimentological, continuous X-ray fluorescence, and stable isotopic analyses on sediment cores from six herbaceous marshes in the LNP. A reliable chronological frame was based on 50 14C dates, over the last 2500 years in most sites, and reaching 9000 years in one marsh. We show that the origin of these marshes is a major hydrological change, 3450 and 2300 years ago, that affected the entire region, almost concomitantly with the diffusion of Iron Age population. The sedimentation within marshes is homogenous with low intra-site variability. In contrast, high inter-sites variability evidences that the functioning of the marsh itself exerts a much more significant influence than in lakes. However, a regional event is recorded between 1400 and 800 years ago, concurrently with an archeological trace hiatus throughout the forest hinterland of West Central Africa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
