Despite being heavily exploited, pangolins (Pholidota: Manidae) have been subject to limited research, resulting in a lack of reliable population estimates and standardised survey methods for the eight extant species. Camera trapping represents unique opportunity broad-scale collaborative species monitoring due its largely non-discriminatory nature, which creates considerable volumes data on relatively wide range This has potential shed light ecology rare, cryptic understudied taxa, with...
ABSTRACT Aim Modelling African great ape distribution has until now focused on current or past conditions, whilst future scenarios remain scarcely explored. Using an ensemble forecasting approach, we predicted changes in taxon-specific under of climate, land-use and human population changes. Location Sub-Saharan Africa Methods We compiled occurrence data populations from the IUCN A.P.E.S. database extracted relevant human-, climate- habitat-related predictors representing (2050) conditions...
Abstract Aim Modelling African great ape distribution has until now focused on current or past conditions, while future scenarios remain scarcely explored. Using an ensemble forecasting approach, we predicted changes in taxon‐specific under of climate, land use and human populations for (1) areas outside protected (PAs) only (assuming complete management effectiveness PAs), (2) the entire study region (3) interspecies range overlap. Location Tropical Africa. Methods We compiled occurrence...
Abstract Although forest elephants ( Loxodonta cyclotis ) are known to use logged forests, the impact of selective logging on this critically endangered species has never been well established. Considering potential some areas serve as other effective area‐based conservation measures, aligning with Convention Biological Diversity's 30/30 initiative, we aimed assess short‐term impacts three population parameters: presence, abundance, and activity elephants. Combining camera traps dung surveys...
Abstract: The identification of seed dispersers and predators is essential to understand the effect anthropogenic disturbances, associated defaunation process, on tropical forest dynamics in Central Africa. In this study, animals involved predation dispersal Dacryodes normandii (Burseraceae), an endozoochorously dispersed tree species endemic Gabonese forests, were identified a site south-east Gabon using two complementary methods: direct observation camera-trap monitoring fruit piles....
Abstract: Understanding the ecological function of large frugivores in tropical forests is important considering their central position seed-dispersal networks. This study illustrates effectiveness a western lowland gorilla ( Gorilla ) population Cameroon by looking at interaction seed quantity, species regeneration traits and environmental characteristics deposition sites (sleeping vs . feeding trails) order to discuss role gorillas within ecosystem. The analysis 1030 faecal samples...
Abstract: For endozoochorous seed dispersal systems, the extant dung beetle assemblage at deposition sites may influence site suitability as burial activity change probability that seeds germinate and seedlings establish. This study tested if different conditions of two main seed-deposition habitats a western lowland gorilla population south-east Cameroon (sleeping old secondary forest) influenced assemblages consequently relocation patterns. In March 2012, in both habitats, patterns...
Abstract The quantitative and qualitative aspects of seed dispersal by the western lowland gorilla ( Gorilla ) were investigated in Gabon. Fresh faeces collected washed to identify count seeds. Seed germinability after gut passage was estimated with trials a nursery at study site. To assess impact on germination success delay, comparative run four treatments: (i) passed seeds cleaned faeces, (ii) within faecal matrix, (iii) from fresh fruits surrounded pulp, (iv) pulp. analysis 180 units...
Dans les forêts tropicales d’Afrique cen- trale, le gorille des plaines occidentales dépose la plupart graines qu’il dis- perse dans nids bien éclairés pro- pices à croissance de plantules, laquelle est susceptible d’être renforcée par l’effet fertilisant matières fécales entourant graines. Cet effet n’avait jamais été testé. Notre étude visait ainsi déterminer si dépôt gorilles (i) une matrice fécale et (ii) leurs présente un avan- tage pour développement plan- tules (taux foliation) leur...
Introduction. La dispersion des diaspores constitue une interaction clé qui influence de nombreux processus écologiques utiles au maintien la diversité écosystèmes forestiers. Les rongeurs, considérés plupart du temps comme prédateurs diaspores, sont susceptibles transporter, dissimuler et oublier les sur distances considérables favorisant indirectement leur germination. Leur rôle régénération forestiers dépendra alors différentes variables environnementales influençant comportement....
Abstract Characterization of the ecology endangered timber species is a crucial step in any forest management strategy. In this study, we described animal communities involved seed dispersal and predation high‐value Guibourtia tessmannii (Fabaceae; Detarioideae), which newly listed on Appendix II CITES . We compared between two sites (Bambidie Gabon Ma'an Cameroon). A total 101 hr direct observations 355 days camera trapping revealed that primate ( Cercopithecus nictitans ) hornbill...
In Africa, rice has always been a staple food in some countries and the fastest growing source there. Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), terms cereal production, is ranked second after maize an important income for farmer. The objective this study was to analyze understand consumers' preferences behaviors towards local imported South Kivu Tanganyika provinces, DRC. Data collected on 1565 rice-consuming households eastern DRC showed that there great opportunity value chain policy...
