(Mbarara University of Science and Technology, 2015-03)
In Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (BINP), a buffer zone strategy was introduced in Nkuringo(southern BINP)in 2005to counter wild animal crop raiding incidences and to generate in come for adjacent local people. This ...
Regulated access to wild climbers has enhanced food security and minimized use of plastics by front line households at a premier African protected area
(Institute of Tropical Forest Conservation,, 2020-08)
The amount of food harvested, processed and stored by households determines food availability—a key dimension to food security. In developing countries,front line households around protected areas harvest wild climbers for ...
On the scaling of activity in tropical forest mammals
(Oikos, 2020)
Activity range - the amount of time spent active per day - is a fundamental aspect contributing to the optimization process by which animals achieve energetic balance. Based on their size and the nature of their diet, ...
Consistent daily activity patterns across tropical forest mammal communities
(Research square, 2022)
Most animals follow distinct daily activity patterns reflecting their adaptations1, requirements, and
Interactions 2-4. Specific communities provide specific opportunities and constraints to their members that further ...
The status of biodiversity in Echuya central Forest reserve, S.W Uganda
(2015)
Uganda is losing biodiversity at an alarming rate. Habitat change and direct exploitation by humans are among the most important reasons for this crisis. Forest wildlife is particularly affected with a need for harmonious ...

Occupancy winners in tropical protected forests: a pantropical analysis
(2022)
The structure of forest mammal communities appears surprisingly consistent across the continental tropics, presumably due to convergent evolution in similar environments. Whether such consistency extends to mammal occupancy, ...
