Species diversity in the genus Eunotia in the Congo Basin downstream of Kisangani (DR Congo) Meise Botanic Garden
Small rivers and streams in central tropical Africa downstream of Kisangani (DR Congo) discharging into the Congo River or its large tributaries are characterised by their typical dark coloured waters (black waters) and their low pH. Consequently it is not at all a surprise that taxa belonging to the genus Eunotia are well represented in these waters. Their abundance can be more than 55 % of the total diatom community in some of these rivers and ...
New and interesting Surirella taxa (Surirellaceae, Bacillariophyta) from the Congo Basin (DR Congo) Meise Botanic Garden Ghent University
Two new diatom taxa belonging to the genus Surirella, S. ebalensis and S. congolensis, are described from material of the Congo Basin, downstream Kisangani, DR Congo. The first taxon is a small, rather common species in the studied material; the second a somewhat larger diatom that was only sporadically observed. The morphology of both taxa is examined with light and scanning electron microscopy. The differences between the new and other closely ...
Baseline levels and trophic transfer of persistent organic pollutants in sediments and biota from the Congo River Basin (DR Congo) KU Leuven University of Antwerp
The present study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs: (PCBs, PBDEs, DDTs, HCHs, CHLs and HCB) in sediments and biota from the middle Congo River Basin (CRB) and to investigate their trophic transfer through the aquatic food web using nitrogen stable isotope ratios. To our knowledge, no data on levels of POPs in sediment and biota from the CRB are present in the literature, and studies on trophic transfer and ...
The presence of **Praomys**, **Lophuromys**, and **Deomys** species (Muridae, Mammalia) in the forest blocks separated by the Congo River and its tributaries (Kisangani region, Democratic Republic of Congo) University of Antwerp
Praomys (four species), Lophuromys (four) and Deomys (one) are among the most common Muridae in the Kisangani region. To establish whether or not rivers constitute dispersal barriers for these rodents, we investigated the presence of these genera and their species in eight localities that are either separated by the Congo River or its tributaries. A total of 42,466 trapping nights resulted in the collection of 1185 Praomys, 233 Lophuromys and ...
