Functional conservation areas and the future of Africa's wildlife
(Wiley, 2010-11)
Ungulate populations in African conservation areas (CAs) are in widespread decline, which can largely be attributed to a lack of functionality of the area encompassed by the CAs themselves. We present evidence from a wide ...
Grazers species-packing in the Okavango Delta, Botswana
(Willey Blackwell Publishing http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Brand/id-35.html, 2007)
We used body weight ratio to determine the degree of species-packing of the Okavango Delta (22,000 km2) grazers and compared it to that of four conservation areas
of similar sizes but varying in the diversity of habitat ...
