Low, chair Professor Arun Agrawal Professor Donald Scavia Professor Carl P. Simon © Kendra L. Walker 2010 Dedication For my parents, Don and Trudi For providing me a solid foundation, inspiration, and unwavering support of my dreams And to Miguel, for his patience ii Acknowledgements I would like to extend my deepest thanks to the many people have helped this dissertation become a reality: to my family, for always encouraging my dreams and journeys even though they all too often take me so far away, and to my committee for guiding me through this leg of the journey. I am truly lucky to have such motivating mentors. I could not have asked for a more attentive and inspirational committee chair than Bobbi Low, who truly goes above and beyond as an advisor and role model. Arun Agrawal, Don Scavia, and Carl Simon have all provided engaging perspectives, wise advice and great interdisciplinary discussions. Many others at the University of Michigan have provided additional feedback and inspiration. I especially thank Brady West and Kathy Welch at the Center for Statistical Consultation and Research for invaluable statistical advice and Michael Moore and Rebecca Hardin for insightful feedback on early versions of parts of this work.

  • The Ecology of Forest Elephant Distribution and Its Implications for Conservation
    The Ecology of Forest Elephant Distribution and its Implications for Conservation Stephen Blake A thesis submitted for the degree of PhD University of Edinburgh 2002 PREFACE This thesis was written by myself and is the result of my own work, unless otherwise acknowledged at the end of appropriate chapters. ii ABSTRACT Genetic evidence suggests that extant African elephants, currently recognised as two sub-species in the genus Loxodonta, should be divided into distinct species; savannah elephants (L. africana) and forest elephants (L. cyclotis). Forest elephants are most abundant in the equatorial forest of the Congo Basin, and account for a considerable portion of Africa’s elephants. Despite their key role in forest ecosystems, few data on forest elephant ecology are available, at a time when intense hunting and widespread habitat fragmentation and conversion pose an increasingly severe extinction threat. A study of forest elephant ecology was initiated in the remote Ndoki Forest of northern Congo. The goal was to identify the ecological determinants of elephant distribution and ranging, and to determine the impact of human activity, at a relatively intact site. Data from a local, intensively surveyed site, and repeated extensive foot surveys over a 253km swathe of the Ndoki Forest, which traversed the northwest-southeast drainage gradient, revealed a spatial and temporal partitioning in the availability of resources important to elephants on several scales. Dicotyledon browse was most abundant in open canopy terra firma forest, light gaps, and swamps, while monocotyledon food was most concentrated in terra firma forest to the southeast, and was super-abundant in localised swamp patches.
