Interactions between contrast and spatial displacement in visual motion processing
but, as with Côte d'Ivoire, estimates of chimpanzee abundance are based on survey data collected more than a decade ago [5]. There is an urgent need to locate the remaining viable chimpanzee populations and implement long-term monitoring activities for their conservation. The IUCN/SSC A.P.E.S. (Ape Populations, Environments and Surveys) database (http://apes.eva. mpg.de) seeks to centralize all...
متن کاملWill the Nigeria-Cameroon Chimpanzee Go Extinct? Models Derived from Intake Rates of Ape Sanctuaries

متن کاملSport Hunting, Predator Control and Conservation of Large Carnivores
Sport hunting has provided important economic incentives for conserving large predators since the early 1970's, but wildlife managers also face substantial pressure to reduce depredation. Sport hunting is an inherently risky strategy for controlling predators as carnivore populations are difficult to monitor and some species show a propensity for infanticide that is exacerbated by removing adul...
متن کاملHunting increases dispersal limitation in the tree Carapa procera, a nontimber forest product.
The sustainability of seed extraction from natural populations has been questioned recently. Increased recruitment failure under intense seed harvesting suggests that seed extraction intensifies source limitation. Nevertheless, areas where more seeds are collected tend to also have more intense hunting of seed-dispersing animals. We studied whether such hunting, by limiting disperser activity, ...
متن کاملThe role of behavioral research in the conservation of chimpanzees and gorillas.
Chimpanzees and gorillas are among man's closest living relatives, sharing most of the human genetic code and having many similarities to humans in anatomy, physiology, and behavior. Like humans, these apes make and use tools and have strong family bonds. Chimpanzees even show population-specific behaviors similar to those of human cultures. However, chimpanzee and gorilla populations are in dr...
