  • The Effect of Species Associations on the Diversity and Coexistence of African Ungulates
    The effect of species associations on the diversity and coexistence of African ungulates. By Nancy Barker For Professor Kolasa BIO306H1 – Tropical Ecology University of Toronto Wednesday, August 24th, 2005 Abstract: The effects of species associations on species diversity and coexistence were investigated in East Africa. The frequency and group sizes of African ungulates were observed and analyzed to determine for differences in species associations based on their density and distribution, as well as their associations with other species. Associations between species were determined to be nonrandom and seen to affect the demographics of associating herds. Such associations mirrored in other studies were shown to be the result of interspecific competition, habitat preferences and predation pressure which increases the potential for coexistence between species. This suggests a potentially important role in the regulation of species diversity by ecological dynamics in species rich communities. In the face of today’s biodiversity crisis, such understanding of species associations and how they are regulated may have huge implications for conservation. Introduction: known with the famous Darwin’s finches of the Galapagos Islands. However, there are many other Sympatric coexistence of organisms within a guilds with what seems to be extensive community poses several questions for ecologists. overlapping in their resources, such as the grazing High levels of species association occur with high herds in Africa which eat common and widely species packing, as is seen within the Selous game dispersed foods.

  • Transcript (PDF)
    [Music plays] [NARRATOR:] Welcome to HHMI's 2015 Holiday Lectures on Science. This year's lectures, Patterns and Processes in Ecology, will be given by two leaders in ecological research, Dr. Robert Pringle and Dr. Corina Tarnita of Princeton University. The sixth lecture is titled, Conserving and Restoring Ecosystems. And now, Dr. Robert Pringle. [Applause] [PRINGLE:] All right, so it's the last lecture before lunch, and you guys are all still with us and asking the most amazing questions, so we love you for that. And this lecture is, in many ways, to me the most important. But unfortunately, I only have really 15 minutes to give it. And it's important because it's about taking-- you know, I hope we've been able to convince you, Corina and I, over the past-- over the course of the morning, that by coupling kind of creative problem-solving approaches, new technologies, mathematical models, and experimental tests, we can understand a lot about how ecosystems actually work. And that's a new thing in ecology, which is a relatively young science. But this lecture is about how can we take that kind of knowledge and apply it to the restoration of a severely degraded ecosystem that we've been talking about all morning, Gorongosa National Park. So the collapse of large wildlife is not unique to Gorongosa or to any other system. So here's a heat map showing where there are the most species of large mammals. Not surprisingly, that map concentrated in Africa, eastern and southern Africa. And here are species that are threatened.

  • Mammal Species Richness at a Catena and Nearby Waterholes During a Drought, Kruger National Park, South Africa
    diversity Article Mammal Species Richness at a Catena and Nearby Waterholes during a Drought, Kruger National Park, South Africa Beanélri B. Janecke Animal, Wildlife & Grassland Sciences, University of the Free State, 205 Nelson Mandela Road, Park West, Bloemfontein 9301, South Africa; [email protected]; Tel.: +27-51-401-9030 Abstract: Catenas are undulating hillslopes on a granite geology characterised by different soil types that create an environmental gradient from crest to bottom. The main aim was to determine mammal species (>mongoose) present on one catenal slope and its waterholes and group them by feeding guild and body size. Species richness was highest at waterholes (21 species), followed by midslope (19) and sodic patch (16) on the catena. Small differences observed in species presence between zones and waterholes and between survey periods were not significant (p = 0.5267 and p = 0.9139). In total, 33 species were observed with camera traps: 18 herbivore species, 10 carnivores, two insectivores and three omnivores. Eight small mammal species, two dwarf antelopes, 11 medium, six large and six mega-sized mammals were observed. Some species might not have been recorded because of drought, seasonal movement or because they travelled outside the view of cameras. Mammal presence is determined by food availability and accessibility, space, competition, distance to water, habitat preferences, predators, body size, social behaviour, bound to territories, etc. The variety in body size and feeding guilds possibly indicates a functioning catenal ecosystem. This knowledge can be beneficial in monitoring and conservation of species in the park. Keywords: catena ecosystem; ephemeral mud wallows; habitat use; mammal variety; Skukuza area; Citation: Janecke, B.B.

  • The U.K. Hunter Who Has Shot More Wildlife Than the Killer of Cecil the Lion
    CAMPAIGN TO BAN TROPHY HUNTING Special Report The U.K. hunter who has shot more wildlife than the killer of Cecil the Lion SUMMARY The Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting is revealing the identity of a British man who has killed wild animals in 5 continents, and is considered to be among the world’s ‘elite’ in the global trophy hunting industry. Malcolm W King has won a staggering 36 top awards with Safari Club International (SCI), and has at least 125 entries in SCI’s Records Book. The combined number of animals required for the awards won by King is 528. Among his awards are prizes for shooting African ‘Big Game’, wild cats, and bears. King has also shot wild sheep, goats, deer and oxen around the world. His exploits have taken him to Asia, Africa and the South Pacific, as well as across Europe. The Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting estimates that around 1.7 million animals have been killed by trophy hunters over the past decade, of which over 200,000 were endangered species. Lions are among those species that could be pushed to extinction by trophy hunting. An estimated 10,000 lions have been killed by ‘recreational’ hunters in the last decade. Latest estimates for the African lion population put numbers at around 20,000, with some saying they could be as low as 13,000. Industry groups like Safari Club International promote prizes which actively encourage hunters to kill huge numbers of endangered animals. The Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting believes that trophy hunting is an aberration in a civilised society.
