FIGURE. Distribution of Dicorynia. Physical map of the Amazonian region with all analyzed specimens of Dicorynia. A large amount of point overlays leading to reduced number of visible points is due to the large percentage of materials being old collections that rely only on the name of the municipality or similar. Source: NASA with modifications. Note that almost all specimens are contained in areas with less than 200 m high and the high elevations of the Guiana shield may represent a form of isolation between the two species. in A Taxonomic Revision of the Amazonian Genus Dicorynia (Fabaceae: Dialioideae)

Data for publication: "Can size distributions of European lake fish communities be predicted by trophic positions of their fish species?"

Overview of the lakes used in the paper "Can size distributions of European lake fish communities be predicted by trophic positions of their fish species?" published in Ecology and Evolution (add date etc)   Lake data table: Overview of all lakes in our study. The first tab holds the 235 lakes with the good fit (of b) and the second tab holds the 129 lakes with an ill fit (of b). For each lake we note the country it is in, the year it was sampled, latitude, longitude, number of fish individuals between 8-2000 gr, number of individuals classified as predators and prey, the b exponent (proxy for size spectrum slope) of the fish community, mean trophic position of the fish community, the log10 of the predator-prey mass ratio (logPPMR), the catch per unit effort (CPUE, N net-1 night-1), number of fish species, maximum air temperature (°C), maximum depth (m), total phosphorus ((µg l-1) and area (km2). In addition the presence (1) or absence (blank) of fish species is noted.

Distribution. Known from gallery forests in NW Zambia; restricted to Ikelenge Pedicle and collected along Kazombi Stream. It is possible that this species also occurs in adjacent DR Congo and E Angola, but no surveys have been undertaken for this species in these areas. in Soricidae

Distribution. NE Mali, EC & SE Sudan, SE South Sudan, and NE Ethiopia. There is also a record from ancient Egypt in Thebes where a mummified individual has recently been identified, although status of the species there is uncertain considering no individuals have been observed there in recent times. in Soricidae

Distribution. Uncertain, but the type locality is generally accepted to be Mt Kilimanjaro, NE Tanzania; there are further reports of this species throughout W & E Africa (including some recent ones from Uganda), but they cannot be confirmed since most of the specimens have been wrongly attributed. in Soricidae

Distribution. SE Guinea, E Liberia, and SW Ivory Coast in West Africa; the species may be found in Sierra Leone, but this population has not been genetically investigated and could be either the Ivory Coast White-toothed Shrew or the West African Pygmy White-toothed Shrew (C. obscurior). in Soricidae

Distribution. Near Halabiya at the Euphrates and Qal'at Sukkara (Syria); potentially in SW Iran. There are no recent records from Israel, Palestine or Lebanon indicating that the species is potentially extinct in this region. However, it cannot certainly be excluded that katinka is more common in the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula. in Soricidae

Distribution. SE Guinea, E Liberia, S Ivory Coast, and W Ghana; populations ofeither this species, the Ivory Coast White-toothed Shrew (C. eburnea), or both species are found in S Sierra Leone and are included in the range map ofthis species but have not been investigated genetically and could represent either species. There are apparently records that represent this species from S Nigeria, although further research is needed to confirm thatthis speciesis truly found there. in Soricidae

Distribution. Known only from the Konteh Area of the Sanetti Plateau in SC Ethiopia; it remains possible that this recently described species inhabits other parts of the plateau as well, although it is likely endemic to the Bale Mts. in Soricidae
