Central Highlands (Madagascar) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Central Highlands (Madagascar)
The Central Highlands, Central High Plateau, or Hauts-Plateaux are a mountainous biogeographical region in central Madagascar. They include the contiguous part of the island's interior above 800 m (2600 ft) altitude.〔Goodman et al., 2005, p. 871〕 The Central Highlands are separated from the Northern Highlands of the northern tip of Madagascar by a low-lying valley, the Mandritsara Window, which has apparently acted as a barrier to dispersal for species in the highlands, leading to species pairs such as ''Voalavo gymnocaudus'' and ''Voalavo antsahabensis'' in the Northern and Central Highlands.〔Goodman et al., 2005, p. 872〕 Species restricted to the Central Highlands include the bats ''Miniopterus manavi''〔Goodman et al., 2009, p. 5〕 and ''Miniopterus sororculus'';〔Goodman et al., 2007, p. 1216〕 the rodents ''Brachyuromys betsileoensis''〔Musser and Carleton, 2005, p. 949〕 and ''Voalavo antsahabensis'';〔Goodman et al., 2005, p. 867〕 the tenrecs ''Hemicentetes nigriceps''〔Bronner and Jenkins, 2005, p. 76〕 and ''Oryzorictes tetradactylus'';〔Garbutt, 2007, pp. 44–45〕 and the lemur ''Cheirogaleus sibreei''.〔Garbutt, 2007, p. 104〕 Because of the continuous habitat of the Central Highlands, there is little local endemism, unlike the Northern Highlands.〔Goodman et al., 2006, p. 395〕 ==References==
