Everyday adaptation practices by coffee farmers in three mountain regions in Africa
(Ecology and Society, 2022)
Mountain environments in East Africa experience more rapid increases in temperature than lower elevations, which, together with changing rainfall patterns, often negatively affect coffee production. However, little is known ...
Consistent diel activity patterns of forest mammals among tropical regions
(Nature communications, 2022)
An animal’s daily use of time (their “diel activity”) reflects their adaptations, requirements, and interactions, yet we know little about the underlying processes governing diel activity within and among communities. Here ...
Is Fair Benefit Sharing a Reality or A Fallacy? Implications for Effective Collaborative Forest Management at Echuya Central Forest Reserve, S. W. Uganda
(East African Journal of Forestry and Agroforestry, 2023)
It is generally accepted that equitable benefits sharing from protected areas (PAs) is a probable technique for both sustainable management and PA conservation. Evidence however, suggests that this might not be entirely ...
A Preliminary Study of the Temporal and Spatial Biomass Patterns of Herbaceous Vegetation Consumed by Mountain Gorillas in an Afromontane Rain Forest
(Biotropica, 2009)
Although many animal species consume herbaceous vegetation found in African tropical forests, little is known of the temporal and spatial availability of these plants. From September 2004 to August 2005 we conducted a study ...
How selective are elephants as agents of forest tree damage in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda?
(African Journal of Ecology, 2013)
Elephants are locally concentrated in Bwindi Impenetra ble National Park. Vegetation damage attributable to elephants appears to be increasing and may result in the modification of the forest. We examined the implied ...
Chimpanzees in Bwindi-Impenetrable National Park, Uganda, Use Different Tools to Obtain Different Types of Honey
(Primates, 2000)
Evidence of tool use for foraging for honey by chimpanzees in Bwindi-Impenetrable National Park, Uganda, is reported. These are the first records of tool use by chimpanzees in this region of the Albertine Rift. Tools of ...
Dietary Variability of Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda
(International Journal of Primatology, 2004-10)
Data on intraspecific dietary variability has important implications for understanding flexibility in foraging behavior, habitat utilization, population dynamics, and social behavior and may also assist in conservation ...
The Parasites of the Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park^ Uganda
(In Primates of Western Uganda, 2006)
Detecting disease threats to endangered species and their ecosystems plays a crucial role in the survival of a population (McCallum & Dobson, 1995). As human pressure increases around and within habitats that contain ...
Can Governance in Revenue Sharing Be a Pathway for a Win-win Situation between People’s Livelihood Improvement and Conservation?
(Journal of Social Science Research, 2015-05-25)
This paper establishes the importance of good governance in improving local livelihoods and support for conservation. The study uses empirical realities from Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, an afromontane Gorilla sanctuary ...
