Comparative Phylogeography of Central African Duikers Using Non-invasive Sampling Methods
… evolutionary diversification in central African duikers (subfamily Cephalophinae). The sampling strategy consisted of collecting geo-referenced duiker feces across 43 sites and seven countries. However, several challenges related to the use of non-invasive samples needed to be addressed prior to …

Evolutionary Relationships Among Duiker Antelope (Bovidae: Cephalophinae)
<p>Duikers are a species rich subfamily of threatened African antelope whose recent origin poses a challenge to the molecular identification of taxa and estimation of their phylogeny. I test the ability of DNA barcodes to identify all taxa within this group. I then use mitochondrial and nuclear …

Behavioral and Reproductive Aspects of Captive Maxwell's Duiker (<em>Cephalophus mawellii</em>) Husbandry
<p>Female Maxwell's duikers (<em>Cephalophus maxwellii</em>) were studied at the Wildlife Survival Center on St. Catherine's Island, Georgia. The objectives were to quantify the effects of housing on activity budgets and progesterone cycling. Four animals were studied across two housing situations: …

Natural and anthropogenic influences on elephants and other ungulates in the Congo forest
… the park that may have acted as a refuge. Forest duikers also declined, but the spatial pattern of their decline was different than that of elephants. Densities dropped more in the southern part of the reserve, probably due to pre-exisisting higher levels of hunting there. Besides explaining …

Anthropogenic effects on site use and temporal patterns of terrestrial mammals in Harenna Forest, Ethiopia
… low for Menelik bushbucks (Δ=0.45) and common duikers (Sylvicapra grimmia) appeared to become less active at stations with high human use. For carnivores, leopards (Panthera pardus) and honey badgers (Mellivora capensis) were crepuscular, and the remaining species were nocturnal. I found …
