Metabolic Profiles (external sources)

KEGG: KEGG genome-based metabolic profile (lcm) (View at source ↗) — Genome-based pathway inference (KEGG) — reflects which metabolic pathways this species' annotated genes place it in, not experimentally measured metabolite presenceAFDSI-METABPROF-111

Geographic range (Africa)

163 real GBIF-recorded occurrences across Africa — see this species on GBIF ↗.

This reflects real occurrence records submitted to GBIF, not a comprehensive range map — sampling effort varies significantly by country and region, so an absence here doesn't mean the species isn't present.
