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 ...
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 ...

Forest Fire Prevention and Control in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, South West Uganda
(Institute of Tropical Forest Conservation – Ecological Monitoring Programme, 2000)
Worldwide, extensive tracts of tropical rain forests are burnt during El Nino droughts. Severe dro ughts have occurred previously without causing such extensive fires. This extensive burning is a result of forests becoming ...
The status of anthropogenic threat at the people-park interface of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda
(Environmental Conservation, 2009)
Effective management of anthropogenic threats is key to sustaining biological diversity in protected areas. Types and distribution of threats to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda were investigated to assess the ...
Niche partitioning and densities of Albertine Rift endemics and their congeners in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda
(Ostrich, 2010)
Biogeographical theory predicts that restricted-range species should typically occur at lower densities than ecologically similar, but geographically widespread species. Exceptions may arise where endemics occupy distinctive ...
