Résumé
The climatic fluctuations that occurred throughout the Quaternary resulted repeatedly in the fragmentation of the rainforests of tropical Africa. This fragmentation would have facilitated allopatric speciation in each tropical rainforest refugium. The location and area of the tropical rainforest refugia that existed during the last glacial maximum have been estimated from the analysis of palaeoenvironmental information, present climatic information and the present distribution of tropical rainforest primates. The predictive value of island biogeographical theory is analysed, based upon the present nature of the African rainforest, as well as the hypothetical nature of the rainforest refugia present during the last glacial maximum. The gradual slope of the species area curve indicates that the distribution of primate fauna in the African rainforests does not represent an equilibrium between the rates of colonization and extinction.-Author
