Abstract:
Conservation of the African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) in human-dominated landscapes faces many challenges. Understanding human opinions of wild dog conservation is important to inform management decisions. Questionnaire surveys, including both open and closed-ended questions, were administered by researchers through face-to-face interviews of 297 respondents in the eastern part of the Serengeti ecosystem between January and February 2012. Our results indicated that most local people believed that wild dogs were extinct in the Serengeti ecosystem. According to the local people, wild dogs should have a high conservation priority. Moreover, tribe and gender are important demographic variables that explain the negative or positive perceptions ofattempts to relocate wild dogs from the Loliondo Game Controlled Area to the Serengeti National Park (SNP). We conclude that future conservation interventions should focus on the interface between community knowledge and modern conservation science.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária
Allostatic load is the energetic cost required to maintain homeostasis. A significant increase in allostatic load which cannot be fulfilled by increased food intake would be expected to result in resource allocation trade-offs, i.e., reduced allocation of resources to one life-process so that allocation of resources to another, more critical process can be maintained. In young animals, maintenance of growth is essential, and when food intake is insufficient, other life processes such as components of the immune system may be down regulated, leading to increased susceptibility to infections. This study aimed to investigate the impact of allostatic load, indicated by faecal glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations (fGCM), on the susceptibility to parasite infections as a result of resource allocation trade-offs, in juvenile spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. Therefore, I measured the allostatic load using a cortisol-3-CMO enzyme immunoassay verified for this species (Benhaiem et al., 2012) and assessed the parasite burden using faecal egg counts (FEC) of the three most abundant parasite species (Ancylostoma, Spirometra and Cystoisospora) with the expectation that FECs would increase with allostatic load. In general, the results indicated that juvenile spotted hyenas have an overall high prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites (98%, n = 104), with a mean of 3.1± 1.6 parasite genera per juvenile. The genus Ancylostoma, Cystoisospora, Spirometra, Trichuris, Dipylidium and parasites from the family Taeniidae and Spirurida were found. The fGCM concentration ranged between 4.9 and 503.2 ng/g with a mean of 55.8 ± 72.4 ng/g. I demonstrated that fGCM concentrations were significantly correlated to FECs of Ancylostoma spp., Spirometra sp. and Cystoisospora spp. in relation to fGCM (Spearman’s rank correlation test, ρ=0.371, p<0.001, ρ=0.272, p<0.05, ρ=0.287, p<0.01 respectively). In addition, I investigated the factors modulating infection intensity of Ancylostoma spp. and revealed that age and co-infecting interactions are key factors of infection intensity. Furthermore, a preliminary phylogenetic analysis of the coccidian parasites from several carnivores living in the Serengeti National Park is provided, indicating that several coccidian are present in the carnivores living in the Serengeti ecosystem. This study provides important information on the mechanisms shaping parasite infections in a free-ranging carnivore.
RESUMO - Ecologia dos parasitas da hiena malhada do Parque Nacional do Serengeti na Tanzânia - A carga alostática refere-se ao desgaste associado aos mecanismos que mantêm a homeostase. Quando há um aumento significantivo da carga alostática que não seja compensado por um aumento de recursos disponíveis, é espectável que haja alocação de recursos de um sistema fisiológico para outro, para que processos críticos possam ser mantidos. Em juvenis, o crescimento é essêncial e quando há uma diminuição de recursos disponíveis, outros processos, como componentes do sistema imunitário, podem diminuir a sua atividade para que o crescimento seja mantido, consequentemente aumentando a suscetibilidade a infeções. Este estudo tem como objectivo avaliar o impacto da carga alostática, por intermédio da mensuração de metabolitos de glucocorticóides fecais (fGCM) na susceptibilidade a infeções parasitárias como resultado de “trade-offs” na alocação de recursos, em juvenis de hienas malhadas (Crocuta crocuta) do Parque Nacional do Serengeti, Tanzânia. Para a medição da carga alostática foi aplicado um teste imunoenzimático, cortisol-3-CMO, verificado para esta espécie (Benhaiem et al., 2012). A carga parasitária de hienas malhadas juvenis (<24 meses) é acedida através de contagens fecais de formas parasitárias (FEC) das espécies mais abundantes (Ancylostoma, Spirometra and Cystoisospora) com a expectativa que FEC aumente com a carca alostática. Os resultados indicam uma prevalência elevada de parasitas gastrointestinais (98%, n = 104), com uma média de 3.1± 1.6 géneros de parasitas por juvenil. Foram encontrados os géneros Cystoisospora, Spirometra, Trichuris, Dipylidium e as famílias Taeniidae e Spirurida. A concentração de fGCM varia entre 4.9 e 503.2 ng/g com uma média de 55.8 ± 72.4 ng/g. Foi demonstrada uma correlação significativa entre FEC de Ancylostoma spp., Spirometra sp. e Cystoisospora spp. com fGCM (teste de correlação de Spearman, ρ=0.371, p<0.001, ρ=0.272, p<0.05, ρ=0.287, p<0.01 respetivamente). Adicionalmente foram analisados possíveis fatores que influenciam a intensidade de infeção com Ancylostoma spp. e foi demonstrado que a idade e interações entre parasitas presentes são fatores chave na intensidade de infeção. Ademais foi feita uma análise filogenética preliminar dos coccidias presentes em vários carnívoros que co-habitam no Parque Nacional do Serengeti, revelando vários coccidias presentes no ecosistema. Este estudo providência informações relevantes dos mecanismos que modulam infeções num carnívoro de vida livre.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the demographic variation, distribution and wildebeest habitat use in the Serengeti National Park (SNP) and its adjacent protected areas in northern Tanzania. Specifically, the study i) examines whether life history strategies displayed by wildebeest sub- populations could cause variations in sex ratio and calf survival, ii) tests whether the orientation of wildebeest to spatial variations in food resources may have a considerable consequence on their body conditions when sub-populations and group sexes are compared, iii) investigates to what extent dust raised by moving vehicles affects the density and foraging distribution of grazers along the roads, iv) recommends management options suitable for conservation planning of migrating wildebeest.

The sex ratio in the resident sub-population was significantly more female biased than that in the migratory sub-population throughout the study period. Higher birth rates with a more synchronous birth season were more evident in the migratory than the resident sub-population, although in both cases they coincided with seasonal rainfall. Furthermore, a higher annual mean calf survival rate [estimate (0.49)] was recorded in the migratory sub-population than among the residents (0.31). The proportionately higher calf mortality in the resident sub-population can probably be attributed to predation resulting from asynchronous birth. Predator swamping from synchronous birth in the migrants appeared to be more important for the calf than yearling survivals, which was much lower (0.44) than in the resident (0.90) populations. Since birth seasonality in resident (December-January) and migratory (February-March) sub-populations appeared to be distinct, their different life forms strategies may have demographic consequences worsened by environmental and human factors.

Demographic variations between sub-populations were associated with nutritional differences among wildebeest individuals grouped into sexes and seasons. The residents were on the whole nutritionally better-off than the migrants, perhaps due to a better nutritional environment relative to the energetic costs of migrating. Equally, the timing of reproductive investment strategically differed between the sexes due to their life history traits. Nutritional costs associated with pregnancy, lactation and parental care constrained the body condition of females (through reproduction and survival) in the event of serious food shortage, in contrast to males who thrived comparatively better, even in relatively poor environments. Northward migration, motivated by food abundance, correlated with a south-north rainfall gradient as claimed by previous migration hypotheses.

Grazing along roadsides correlated negatively with the density of dust, which increased progressively with traffic volume and speed as seasons advanced. More dust gathered in the grass on the west than on the east side of the road, basically due to wind effects. Dust deposition was comparatively higher on the short grasses than the long grasses during the dry and late-dry seasons than during the wet season when paired distances (< 300m) were compared. However, most grazers fed further out on the west side due to higher dust densities on roadside swards than on the east side. This trend supported the ‘dust aversion hypothesis’, which states that grasses which trap a higher level of dust density are avoided as ungulates tend to feed further away from roads than expected from a random distribution. The test predictions from responsive behaviours of most grazers due to the ‘road disturbance’ and ‘road attraction’ hypotheses were not supported.

Notwithstanding a heterogeneous distribution of resources in the Serengeti ecosystem, habitat use at the ecosystem scale indicates regular selection for open grassland compared to other vegetation types, probably due to availability rather than actual preference. The use of open grassland appeared to be strongest in the Serengeti National Park (SNP), probably due to the level of protection coupled with productivity and nutritional suitability. Open woodland, bush with emergent trees and wooded grassland only served as important habitats during the critical period of food shortage. Resource selection in these habitat patches was largely dictated by grass greenness, the period of the day and the speed of wildebeest movement, which was sex related.

Thus, when managing wildebeest populations, effort should be made to control the effects of anthropogenic activities on the landscape and the wildebeest through habitat changes and demographic variations, respectively. In conjunction with the ongoing natural and man-made changes, wildebeest population viability models need to be in place so that managers can predict the future of the Serengeti wildebeest and their migration.

Abstract:
This dissertation critiques the nature-culture divide by examining the relationships between binaries in postcolonial wildlife research in Tanzania. I focus on the work of wildlife scientists, particularly scientists from Tanzania, who work in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park (SNP). Tanzanian scientists and their foreign counterparts are addressing the theoretical challenges of incorporating park neighbors into ecosystems shaped by the colonial inheritance of national parks as non-human places. I make three broad analytical moves in this endeavor. First, I develop a multi-dimensional method to compare the development of a people-park binary in the Serengeti context by analyzing ethnography, conservation science, and recent scientific debate on a proposed road through the northern part of SNP. Second, I explore connections between the people-park binary and other binaries in the broader Serengeti context using text analysis and ethnographic methods based on eighteen months of fieldwork. Last, I develop a future plan for theoretical and applied research that explores how and why binaries may or may not change concurrently. I conclude that the people-park binary is weakening through the process of “dilation:” a multi-dimensional and reversible process of change during which the borders, substance, and connectivity of dichotomized categories become less rigid. In the broader effort to understand how the people-park binary is dilating, I explore the preliminary conclusion that other binaries (visual-verbal, Tanzanian-foreign, women-men, Kiswahili-English, insect-charismatic wildlife) are also shifting as conservation science becomes more diverse. I propose future research to investigate inter-binary relationships as linked through thematic meaning, conceptual processes, and structural context. This research demonstrates that scientists are using multiple binaries and contexts to conceptually reimagine the colonial legacy of conservation. In essence, their work asks: can the park boundary be maintained as the detrimental social boundaries (national, gender, language, and, perhaps, discipline) that have been historically embedded in the park boundary are transformed? Through intellectual confrontations with dichotomies, knowledge production and reality-making in Africa can be understood as both universally and locally applicable.

Abstract:
The riparian and hilltop forests of Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, have been in rapid decline since the early 1970s. Fifty percent of riparian forests and 85% of hilltop forests have been converted to grassland in that time. This thesis investigates the causes of this decline and the conditions under which forests will stabilize and recolonize grassland areas. Fire is the main cause of decline, particularly affecting the upwind side of rivers and removing seedlings and canopy trees at the forest-grassland boundary. The effects of fire depend on the type of forest and forest edge. Closed-canopy forests with dense dripline edges are more resistant to fire than open-canopy, advancing edges. Mortality of seedlings and canopy trees in closed-canopy forests increased only when stands were burned in four successive years, while seedlings and canopy tree mortality occurred after only one year of burning in forests with open-canopy advancing edges. Germination of forest trees within forests is limited by grass abundance and conditions in the grassland, but is increased by recent fires, floods and grass removal. Subsequent survival and growth of seedlings is limited by fires at the forest periphery and by antelope browsing. Survival of large trees is reduced by fire and by elephants; however, elephant damage was insufficient to limit replacement of the forest canopy although elephants did damage canopy trees. Seedling establishment is poor in the grassland adjacent to forests, despite the removal of fire, grass and antelope browsers. However, isolated stands of savanna trees can act as nurse trees and facilitate the establishment of riparian forests by excluding grass, fire and browsers, and increasing dry season soil moisture. Moreover, current forest stands probably developed from previous nurse stands. The history of Serengeti forests is reviewed and its implications for forest conservation and management are discussed.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the ground-level debates over pastoral land rights that lay outside the aerial camera’s frame in Serengeti Shall Not Die. When the British gazetted Serengeti National Park in 1951, Tanganyika’s colonial government had guaranteed the Maasai rights of occupancy because they did not traditionally hunt and were deemed part of the natural landscape. Yet a prolonged drought brought increasing numbers of Maasai into the parklands in search of better-watered highland grazing, causing conflict with park officials. Such movements, coupled with scientific and administrative misunderstanding of transhumance and savanna resilience, led the British to propose excising the Ngorongoro region from the park to accommodate local land use. The Grzimeks and a “green network” of international allies asserted that cattle herding and wildlife conservation were incompatible due to livestock’s overgrazing. They buttressed this ecological claim with fears of racial degeneration, claiming that there were no more “true-blooded” Maasai left in the Serengeti. The Grzimeks’ advocacy helped to transform a colonial debate about “native” rights into an international scandal. The green network had discredited British imperialism yet inherited many of its paternalist assumptions about traditional African land use and modernist development.

Abstract:
Six decades after the Grzimeks first arrived in the Serengeti, their quest still shapes the way that tourists, scientists, park staff, and Tanzanians are invited to understand the park’s origins and its significance for global conservation, as this short ethnographic moment at the Serengeti Visitor Center in Seronera reveals. A better exhibit script, one more attuned to a Tanzanian national context, would dispense with the white “charismatic megascientist” theme and focus squarely on the hopes and aspirations of political modernizers and customary land users in the early 1960s. Without a retooling of public outreach, the goal of integrated conservation and development in the Serengeti that is attuned to local priorities cannot be achieved.

Abstract:
This chapter examines how Bernhard Grzimek relaunched his quest to save the Serengeti in the wake of his son Michael’s death and the shift toward African self-rule under the leadership of Tanganyika’s new prime minister Julius Nyerere in 1960–1961. Unlike his compatriots in the IUCN who feared black-majority rule, Grzimek saw decolonization as a time of opportunity. He convinced Nyerere that expanding the country’s national park system would catalyze socioeconomic development through tourism, technical assistance, and direct aid. Working alongside John Owen, the director of Tanganyikan National Parks, Grzimek developed a para-diplomatic style of advocacy that promoted package tours and solicited donations on television and secured bilateral aid outside official state protocols. Such efforts created a strange alliance between nature conservationists hoping to curtail rural development and African modernizers hoping to promote it. These varied interests came together at Arusha in September 1961 at a landmark UNESCO-sponsored symposium where Nyerere pledged to protect Tanganyika’s wildlife inheritance so long as Europeans made good on their promises.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Bernhard Grzimek’s increasing inability to broker conservation politics in Tanzania during the 1960s as the country moved toward self-reliance and the Africanization of the wildlife sector. Grzimek found it difficult to make wildlife pay for themselves due to logistical problems of West German game-cropping projects, insufficient donations for expanding and maintaining Tanganyika’s national park system, and competition with Kenya for East Africa’s share of the wildlife tourism market. Such failures shaped and were shaped by Tanzania’s shift toward socialist development and Eastern Bloc partnerships that further jeopardized a tourism industry catering to foreign desires. Friction between Western conservationists and agricultural minister Derek Bryceson over Tanzania’s conservation priorities alienated Nyerere and other African observers, who resented international conservationists meddling in “national” heritage. The Africanization of the national park leadership in the early 1970s signaled that the fate of the Serengeti’s wild animals lay in Nyerere’s hands—not Grzimek’s.
