In recent years, it has become widely accepted that interspecific gene flow is common across the Tree of Life. Questions remain about how species boundaries can be maintained in the face of high levels of gene flow and how phylogeneticists should account for reticulation in their analyses. The true lemurs of Madagascar (genus Eulemur, 12 species) provide a unique opportunity to explore these questions, ...

One Health: navigating plague in Madagascar amidst COVID-19
ConclusionsDespite being endemic to Madagascar, the outbreak ’s pace is unparalleled, and it may spread to non-endemic areas. The utilization of a One Health strategy that encompasses various disciplines is crucial for minimizing catastrophe risk, antibiotic resistance, and outbreak readiness. Collaboration across sectors and proper planning ensures efficie nt and consistent communication, risk management, and credibility during disease outbreaks.Graphical Abstract (Source: Infectious Diseases of Poverty)

The colonisation of Madagascar by land-bound vertebrates
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2023 May 4. doi: 10.1111/brv.12966. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDespite discussions extending back almost 160 years, the means by which Madagascar's iconic land vertebrates arrived on the island remains the focus of active debate. Three options have been considered: vicariance, range expansion across land bridges, and dispersal over water. The first assumes that a group (clade/lineage) occupied the island when it was connected with the other Gondwana landmasses in the Mesozoic. Causeways to Africa do not exist today, but have been proposed by some researchers for various times in the Cenozoic. O...
