Restriction associated DNA sequencing was conducted on two genetically independent individuals of Iroko, Milicia excelsa, for the discovery of nuclear SNPs. Ninety-four samples, well-distributed over the natural range and including timber DNA, were screened at 138 loci on a MassARRAY iPLEX system. Amplification success was high and 77 loci were sel...
peer reviewed / Iroko, Milicia excelsa, is an economically important tropical hardwood species widely distributed in tropical Africa, from Ivory Coast in Western Africa to Tanzania in Eastern Africa. The species occurs at low densities in contrasting habitats such as rainforest and woodlands. Former studies using chloroplast and nuclear sequences, ...

BackgroundSpecies delimitation in closely related plant taxa can be challenging because (i) reproductive barriers are not always congruent with morphological differentiation, (ii) use of plastid sequences might lead to misinterpretation, (iii) rare species might not be sampled. We revisited molecular-based species delimitation in the African genus ...

peer reviewed / The long generation time and large effective size of widespread forest tree species can result in slow evolutionary rate and incomplete lineage sorting, complicating species delimitation. We addressed this issue with the African timber tree genus Milicia that comprises two morphologically similar and often confounded species: M. exc...
La participation active des enfants aux conflits armés affectant de manière endémique les territoires de la République du Congo et de la RDC est une réalité indéniable. Cette participation des enfants est dûment constatée par les organismes des Nations Unies, le CICR, les ONG de défense des droits de l'Homme, les médias internationaux. Elle est dén...

Characterizing population genetic structure using phylogeographic approach contributes to understanding of evolutionary processes that affect plant populations. The present study investigated how past environmental variations can shape the spatial genetic diversity of an African timber tree species, Milicia excelsa (Welw) C.C. Berg. Given that plan...
This article examines the process of the army building in the Sovereign State ofBolivar in the years 1857-1886, describing the organization of the armed force from itslegal and constitutional foundations, the political and military control over the armed body and its relationship with the powers of the State of Bolivar. It also analyses themilitary...
