The bii4africa dataset of faunal and floral population intactness estimates across Africa’s major land uses.
Sub-Saharan Africa is under-represented in global biodiversity datasets, particularly regarding the impact of land use on species’ population abundances. Drawing on recent advances in expert elicitation to ensure data consistency, 200 experts were convened using a modified-Delphi process to estimate ‘intactness scores’: the remaining proportion of an ‘intact’ reference population... -

Landrace diversity and heritage of the indigenous millet crop fonio (Digitaria exilis): Socio‐cultural and climatic drivers of change in the Fouta Djallon region of Guinea.
Le fonio blanc ( [Kippist] Stapf) est une culture de mil peu étudiée, indigène d'Afrique de l'Ouest et cultivée dans la région en grande partie selon des pratiques traditionnelles. Cette espèce est résiliente au climat, à croissance rapide, riche sur le plan nutritionnel et assure des moyens de subsistance... -

Implications of a local flora survey for pre‐human grass flora in north‐western Madagascar.
On apprend aux enfants de Madagascar que leurs ancêtres ont détruit la vaste forêt ancienne donnant naissance aux prairies modernes, un mythe trompeur qui continue à saper la relation des gens avec la nature. Remplacer ce mythe par un récit plus nuancé et précis sur les écosystèmes herbeux est... -

Genetic variation in Loudetia simplex supports the presence of ancient grasslands in Madagascar.
Reconnaître que les prairies dominées par Loudetia étaient répandues avant la colonisation humaine souligne que les écosystèmes ouverts étaient et continuent d'être un composant important de la biodiversité de Madagascar. Il est urgent de réaliser des inventaires de la biodiversité et une taxonomie intégrée pour le traitement de la... -

Madagascar’s extraordinary biodiversity: Threats and opportunities.
Madagascar’s unique biota is heavily affected by human activity and is under intense threat. Here, we review the current state of knowledge on the conservation status of Madagascar’s terrestrial and freshwater biodiversity by presenting data and analyses on documented and predicted species-level conservation statuses, the most prevalent and relevant threats,... -

Madagascar’s extraordinary biodiversity: Evolution, distribution, and use.
Madagascar’s biota is hyperdiverse and includes exceptional levels of endemicity. We review the current state of knowledge on Madagascar’s past and current terrestrial and freshwater biodiversity by compiling and presenting comprehensive data on species diversity, endemism, and rates of species description and human uses, in addition to presenting an updated... -

A Taxonomic Revision of Styppeiochloa (Arundinoideae: Poaceae) in Madagascar.
The grass genus Styppeiochloa De Winter (Arundinoideae: Poaceae) as it occurs in Madagascar is reviewed, two new species are described, and two subspecific taxa are elevated to species status. These new species, as well as the additional collections made since the latest treatment of the genus for Madagascar in 1954,...
