Abstract For monitoring and reporting forest carbon stocks fluxes, many countries in the tropics subtropics rely on default values of aboveground biomass (AGB) from Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventories. Default IPCC AGB originated 2006, are relatively crude estimates average per continent ecological zone. The 2006 were based limited plot data available at time, methods their derivation not fully clear, no distinction between...

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...

Migratory bird hunting has a long tradition in the Mediterranean, but remains highly controversial issue. Here we examine Mediterranean migratory controversies through case of Italy. We interviewed key informants and carried out participant observation on both legal illegal protection, four sites In many cases, hunters protection activists consider themselves as stewards nature. Environmentalists accuse practices, while believe anti-poaching aim to threaten existence itself. Yet...

Understanding geographic distributions of species is a crucial step in spatial planning for biodiversity conservation, particularly as regards changes response to global climate change. This information especially important conservation concern that are susceptible the effects habitat loss and In this study, we used ecological niche modeling assess current future distributional potential White-breasted Guineafowl (Agelastes meleagrides) (Vulnerable) across West Africa. We primary occurrence...

Abstract Although both the grey parrot Psittacus erithacus and recently recognized timneh are categorized as Endangered because of harvest for pet trade loss habitat, latter has a much smaller range may be largely restricted to few stronghold areas. In March–April 2018 we surveyed total 114 hours in around one these presumed strongholds, large well-protected Gola Rainforest National Park, Sierra Leonean portion Transboundary Peace Park. Timneh parrots were encountered at rate 0.1 groups/h...

Food distribution and abundance can affect intra- inter-dietary variation in non-human primates, influencing feeding ecology altering behaviour. Natural and/or human-induced actions influence the dynamics between primates environment, with associated impacts on socio-ecology demography. This relationship anthropogenic landscapes, however, is poorly understood. Here, we use DNA metabarcoding to obtain high resolution dietary diversity data, multivariate generalised linear models investigate...
