Abstract:

Madagascar and the Seychelles are Gondwanan remnants currently isolated in the Indian Ocean. In the Late Cretaceous, these islands were joined with India to form the Indigascar landmass, which itself then split into its three component parts around the start of the Tertiary. This history is reflected in the biota of the Seychelles, which appears to contain examples of both vicariance- and dispersal-mediated divergence from Malagasy or Indian sister taxa. One lineage for which this has been assumed but never thoroughly tested is the Seychellean tiger chameleon, a species assigned to the otherwi

Abstract:

Census and other demographic data are used to estimate the volume of the illegal slave trade to Mauritius and the Seychelles from Madagascar and the East African coast between 1811 and c. 1827. The structure and dynamics of this illicit traffic, as well as governmental attempts to suppress it, are also discussed. The Mauritian and Seychellois trade is revealed to have played a greater role in shaping Anglo-Merina and Anglo-Omani relations between 1816 and the early 1820s than previously supposed. Domestic economic considerations, together with British pressure on the trade's sources of supply,

SummaryThe once ‘Critically Endangered’ Seychelles Magpie-robin was down to just 12 individuals in 1960 on one island of the granitic Seychelles. In 2015, due to intensive long-term management the population stands at around 280 birds on five islands, marking a significant success for this species. Translocations to the islands of Cousin and Cousine have led to population saturation and stability, a translocation to Denis Island has resulted in a continuing population increase and the founder population on Frégate Island is likewise increasing. The latest translocation to Aride Island in 2002

Abstract:

For long Asantehene Agyeman Prempe I (1888-1931) has had a curious, almost unenviable reputation that is in many respects undeserving. His memory in both oral and written records is one that is inexorably linked to the British occupation and colonization of Asante and the concomitant exile which he suffered. In other words, Agyeman Prempe is remembered more for his failures—his inability to retain Asante sovereignty—than for his accomplishments. However, new evidence coming to light since the 1970s is increasingly enabling the historian of Asante to offer a more accurate assessment of Prempe I

The paraphyly is the result of the genus Coleura, known from subSaharan Africa, portions of the Arabian Peninsula, Madagascar, and the Seychelles, being embedded between the Malagasy and Asian/Indo-Pacific clades of Emballonura, and the latter clade has priority for the use of the name.

Abstract The Indian Ocean islands of Mauritius, Réunion, and Seychelles, named the "Mascareignes" after a Portuguese explorer, are products of an eastward African diaspora, almost invisible in the West except to a few historians. Empty of human population until European exploitation settled them with afew colonists and thousands of slaves from East Africa and Madagascar, their multicultural history demonstrates the astonishing durability of African and Malagasy cultures.

Recently several authors have actively promoted this as the name-bearing type for the Aldabra tortoise, escalating debates in which this chelonian has been immersed for nearly two decades.

AbstractMarine bugs of the genus Halovelia Bergroth inhabit intertidal coral reefs and rocky coasts along the continents and islands bordering the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and western Pacific Ocean as well as island groups and atolls in these areas. In Part I of this work, the genus Halovelia was redescribed together with five previously known species; fifteen new species were described. In the present part, two previously known species are redescribed and eight species described as new, all belonging to the H. malaya Esaki-group: H. sulawesi sp.n. (Sulawesi); H. abdominalis sp.n.

Abstract:

The Elapoidea includes the Elapidae and a large (~60 genera, 280 sp.) and mostly African (including Madagascar) radiation termed Lamprophiidae by Vidal et al. (2007), that includes at least four major groups: the psammophiines, atractaspidines, lamprophiines and pseudoxyrhophiines. In this work, we reviewed the recent taxonomic history of the lamprophiids, and built a data set including two nuclear protein-coding genes (c-mos and RAG2), two mitochondrial rRNA genes (12S and 16S rRNA) and two mitochondrial protein-coding genes (cytochrome b and ND4) for 85 species belonging to 45 genera (thus r

Abstract:

The taxonomic impediment has been identified as a problem for conservation biology since 1988. Although several measures have been developed to overcome it, major non-specialized scientific publishers have not fully addressed it. One of the more challenging solutions relies on the identification of taxonomic needs and priorities hampered by the scarcity and inaccessibility of resources. Currently, publishers often consider taxonomy on its own not worth publishing unless supplementary to additional work, such as genetic analyses, pushing publication to a restricted space in specialized journals

Abstract:

The paper presents the results of a retrospective analysis of the history of the formation of the macrophyte herbarium of Kovalevsky Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas of RAS (IBSS, Sevastopol, until 1963 – Sevastopol Biological Station, SBS). For the analysis, the electronic database of the herbarium, sources and archival materials published over a period of more than a hundred years, memoirs of the oldest employees of the SBS were used. Three stages of the herbarium fund formation were distinguished, its beginning dating back to 1878. The first herbarium specimens were collected and d

The Oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), previously recognized as Bactrocera invadens, presence in Kenya dates since 2003, the first record of this pest in Africa. Its phytosanitary importance resulted to avocado export ban to South Africa in 2008 and later to Seychelles, to prevent possible entry of this pest into these markets through fruit trade. To regain these markets and avoid more external market loss, this study was carried out to facilitate creation of a pest free area for fruit flies as required by the International Standards for Phytosanitary Meas

In December 1994, Seychelles acceded to the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families (the Convention). Article 54(2) of the Convention provides that ‘[i]f a migrant worker claims that the terms of his or her work contract have been violated by his or her employer, he or she shall have the right to address his or her case to the competent authorities of the State of employment.’ In 2008

Abstract:

Ozobranchus spp. are leeches that feed solely on turtle blood. They are common ectoparasites found on a range of marine turtle species, with some species of the leech being implicated as vectors of fibropapilloma-associated turtle herpesvirus (FPTHV). Green (Chelonia mydas) and hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) turtles are the two commonly occurring species in the inner granitic islands of the Seychelles. Routine monitoring of nesting turtles on Cousine Island, Seychelles, allowed for opportunistic sightings of leeches on two hawksbill females. In both cases infestation was low, with three le
