Leopard population and home range estimates in northcentral Namibia
Protected areas are commonly assumed to (and most do) harbour higher densities of wildlife than adjacent, humanmodified landscapes (Woodroffe & Ginsberg, 1998; Melville & Bothma, 2006; Gaston et al., 2008; Newmark, 2008; Kiner et al., 2009). In north-central Namibia, farmers believed that leopard (Panthera pardus) densities were growing on farmland areas adjacent to Waterberg Plateau Park and t...
متن کاملParasites of South African wildlife. II. Helminths of kudu, tragelaphus strepsiceros, from South West Africa/Namibia.
A total of 23 kudu, Tragelaphus strepsiceros, were shot at 2-month intervals from June 1983 to April 1984 in the Etosha Game Reserve in the north of South West Africa/Namibia. The parasite survey conducted on these animals yielded 2 cestode and 12 nematode species. Haemonchus vegliai and Cooperia neitzi were the most prevalent nematodes and occurred in 13 animals each, followed by Cooperia acut...
متن کاملScent Lure Effect on Camera-Trap Based Leopard Density Estimates
Density estimates for large carnivores derived from camera surveys often have wide confidence intervals due to low detection rates. Such estimates are of limited value to authorities, which require precise population estimates to inform conservation strategies. Using lures can potentially increase detection, improving the precision of estimates. However, by altering the spatio-temporal patterni...
متن کاملInfluence of geographical distribution, body size and diet on population density of benthic fishes off Namibia (South West Africa)
This study supports the hypothesis that species tend to become rarer towards the limits of their geographic distribution. Over-all species abundance is positively correlated with the size of the area occupied. However, body size is a weak predictor of the abundance of benthic fish species. It is suggested that habitat complexity, competition or other factors regulate patterns of species abundance.
متن کاملArthropod parasites of Hartmann's mountain zebra, Equus zebra hartmannae, in South West Africa/Namibia.
Twelve Hartmann's mountain zebra, Equus zebra hartmannae, were shot for arthropod parasite recovery during the period June 1980-June 1981 on a farm in the Khomas Hochland region of South West Africa/Namibia. Four species of Gasterophilus larvae, 1 species of Rhinoestrus larvae and 3 ixodid tick species were recovered. The seasonal prevalence of the Gasterophilus species larvae and of Rhipicepha...
