Abstract:

Coexistence among grazing ungulates has been related to differences in grass height and grassland types selected, underlain by morphological distinctions. Nevertheless, resource competition may arise when smaller species depress grass height below that suitable for larger species, whereas competition may be counteracted by facilitation when larger species increase the extent of high-quality grassland available. We investigated resource-use overlap between white rhinoceros ( Ceratotherium simum (Burchell, 1817)), blue wildebeest ( Connochaetes taurinus (Burchell, 1823)), and Burchell’s zebra (E

We tested some prominent theoretical concepts using observed differences in seasonal habitat use amongst the savanna browser guild (elephant, giraffe, impala, kudu and nyala) in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, South Africa. Herbivore locations (n = 3108) were recorded over 2 y using repeated road transects and, for elephant, GPS collars (187 254 downloads).

Multi-host pathogens are challenging to control and are responsible for some of the most important diseases of humans, livestock, and wildlife. Leptospira spp. are some of the most common multi-host pathogens and represent an important cause of zoonotic infections and livestock productivity loss in the developing world, where contact with wildlife species is common. Although there is increasing evidence that cattle in Africa harbour a broad diversity of Leptospira genotypes and serovars, little is known about the epidemiology of these pathogens in wild bovids, such as African buffaloes (Syncer

Abstract:Litter-feeding termites influence key aspects of the structure and functioning of semi-arid ecosystems around the world by altering nutrient and material fluxes, affecting primary production, foodweb dynamics and modifying vegetation composition. Understanding these complex effects depends on quantifying spatial heterogeneity in termite foraging activities, yet such information is scarce for semi-arid savannas. Here, the amount of litter that was removed from 800 litterbags in eight plots (100 litterbags per plot) was measured in Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park (HiP) South Africa. These data w

AbstractThe Critically Endangered black rhinoceros Diceros bicornis occurs mainly in protected areas. Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park, South Africa, contains a key source population for black rhino conservation, and declining population productivity has been attributed to negative habitat changes and a reduction in carrying capacity. As home range increase may be an index of declining habitat quality we determined the home ranges of the black rhino in the Park and compared these ranges with previous estimates. The average size of the home ranges during 1991–2001 was 23.07 ± SE 0.81 km2, which is 54% gr

The consequences of burning on grazer distributions in the landscape were investigated in a savanna system in South Africa. Distribution and extent of fires can be highly variable within and between years, but how this influences patterns of grazing is not well understood. Three years of fire and grazer distribution data from Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park, KwaZulu Natal were used to describe how animals respond to different burn situations. Animals were attracted to the burnt areas after fires and this resulted in a decrease in grazer densities in unburnt areas. This effect was more pronounced when a
