Averting biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas

William F. Laurance, +216 more
- 13 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: These findings suggest that tropical protected areas are often intimately linked ecologically to their surrounding habitats, and that a failure to stem broad-scale loss and degradation of such habitats could sharply increase the likelihood of serious biodiversity declines.
Journal ArticleDOI

The biodiversity of the Albertine Rift

Andrew J. Plumptre, +16 more
- 01 Jan 2007 - 
TL;DR: The Albertine Rift is one of the most important regions for conservation in Africa as discussed by the authors, containing more vertebrate species than any other region on the continent and contains more endemic species of vertebrate than any region on mainland Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monitoring mammal populations with line transect techniques in African forests

Andrew J. Plumptre
- 01 Apr 2000 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a line transect survey technique has been used to estimate population density for a variety of mammal species in tropical forests and it is shown that differences of less than 10-30% change in the population are unlikely to be detected between two surveys where visual sightings of animals are made.
Journal ArticleDOI

Devastating decline of forest elephants in Central Africa

Fiona Maisels, +66 more
- 04 Mar 2013 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of the largest survey dataset ever assembled for forest elephants revealed that population size declined by ca.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conserving large carnivores: dollars and fence

Craig Packer, +61 more
- 01 May 2013 - 
TL;DR: This work relates African lion population densities and population trends to contrasting management practices across 42 sites in 11 countries to show that lions in unfenced reserves are highly sensitive to human population density in surrounding communities, and unfenced populations are frequently subjected to density-independent factors.
