The most appropriate analogy is that of an island, where the movement of fauna is restricted by the surrounding marine waters, therefore isolating the fauna from other terrestrial populations. Isolating mechanisms and features such as roads, urban infrastructure, large creek lines and ridges can act to prevent the dispersal and gene flow of the less mobile invertebrates invertebrate species. Categories of short range endemism Currently, there is no accepted system to define the varying probabilities of a species to be an SRE. The uncertainty in categorising a specimen as SRE originates in a number of factors including Poor regional survey density sometimes taxon specific A regional fauna is simply not known well enough to assess the distribution of species. This factor also considers that simply because a species has not been found regionally, does not mean it is really absent this confirmation negative proof is almost impossible to obtain absence of proof is not proof of absence . Lack of taxonomic resolution many potential SRE taxa based on preferences for typical SRE habitats, SRE status of c ... more details

The jacanas are a group of wader s in the family Jacanidae , which are identifiable by their huge feet and claws which enable them to walk on floating vegetation in shallow lakes, their preferred habitat. They are found worldwide within the tropical zone. For the origin and pronunciation of the name, see jacana . Description These are conspicuous and unmistakable bird s. They are 30cm long,but the females are larger than the males. They have chestnut upperparts with black wingtips,rear neck and eyestripe. The underparts are white,with a chestnut belly patch in adult birds. The blue bill extends up as a coot like head shield,and the legs and very long toes are grey. Behaviour Food and feeding The African Jacana s food is insect s and other invertebrates picked from the floating vegetation or the water s surface. Breeding The African Jacana breeds throughout sub Sahara n Africa . It is sedentary apart from seasonal dispersion. It lays four black marked brown eggs in a floating nest. It is a polyandrous species, which means that one female mates with multiple males and the male alone cares for the chicks. The male African Jacana has the ability to pick up and carry his chicks underneath his wings as well, a remarkable adaptation for parental care. References Shorebirds by Hayman, Marchant and Prater.

Unreferenced date October 2008 L Orchestra African Fiesta , often known simply as African Fiesta , was a Democratic Republic of the Congo Congolese soukous band started by Tabu Ley Rochereau and Dr. Nico Kasanda in 1963. Tabu Ley and Dr. Nico were originally members of the seminal band Grand Kalle et l African Jazz . They left African Jazz and started their own group, African Fiesta, with which they helped elevate the genre of African rumba into the genre now known as Soukous . Tension between Tabu Ley and Dr. Nico led to a split in 1965, with Tabu Ley renaming the band African Fiesta National and Dr. Nico forming African Fiesta Sukisa . Dr. Nico withdrew from the music scene in the mid 1970s. Tabu Ley and African Fiesta National continued to dominate the Congolese musical scene. By 1970, their records routinely sold in the millions. African Fiesta National served as a breeding ground for such future African music stars as vocalist Sam Mangwana . In 1970, Tabu Ley formed Orchestre Afrisa International , Afrisa being a combination of Africa and ditions Isa, his record label. ref Stewart, p. 172 ref Notes reflist References cite book title Rumba on the River A History of the Popular Music of the Two Congos year 2000 publisher Verso isbn 978 1859843680 author Gary Stewart Africa music stub DRCongo stub band stub Category Democratic Republic of the Congo musical groups Category Soukous it African Fiesta ... more details
