Bats (Chiroptera) of Burkina Faso: Preliminary list with fifteen first records species
Napoko Malika KANGOYÉ, Adama OUEDA, Adjima THIOMBIANO and Wendengoudi GUENDA
Based on a fine review of bat literature in Burkina Faso, we identified the south-western and southeastern
parts of the country as gap regions where a study that aims to fill gap in bat diversity estimation could
be conducted. In total, 72 sampling sites distributed in 32 localities were surveyed between April 2008 and
September 2009. 407 m(...)

The influence of termite-induced heterogeneity on savanna vegetation along a climatic gradient in West Africa
Arne Erpenbach, Markus Bernhardt-Römermann, Rüdiger Wittig, Adjima Thiombiano and Karen Hahn
Termites are renowned ecosystem engineers. Their mounds have been described as an important element of savanna vegetation dynamics, but little is known about their large-scale impact on vegetation composition. To investigate the influence of termite-induced heterogeneity in savannas along a climatic gradient in West Africa termite mound vegeta(...)
