TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that wildlife in the dry areas of the park utilizes effectively the water from natural and artificial waterholes dug in the sandy riverbed of the GRR.

TL;DR: The future of Lake Victoria and its people are highly related to the future of its papyrus wetlands as discussed by the authors, which appears to be threatened by the overdrawing of water at two dams at the outlet of Lake Uganda in Uganda, which can lead to wetland loss, tilapia fisheries collapse, enhanced eutrophication of the lake, loss of food security for the empowered population, and a measurable contribution to global warming.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether spatial variation in demography of a tropical megaherbivore followed the "temporal paradigm" or the "adult survival paradigm" of ungulate population dynamics formulated from temperate-zone studies.

TL;DR: It is found that local lion predation pressure was significantly negatively correlated with giraffe neonatal and calf survival probabilities, which supports the apparent mutualism hypothesis that the presence of migratory ungulates reduces lionpredation on giraffe calves.

TL;DR: Above- and below-ground production and morphological characteristics of papyrus wetlands were measured at monthly intervals from July 2005 to June 2006 at Rubondo Island, Lake Victoria, Tanzania.
