Genomic mechanisms underpinning phenotypic diversity in the spiral-horned antelopes (Genus: Tragelaphus)
… diverse spiral-horned antelopes (genus Tragelaphus) which have gone through a recent adaptive radiation. Previous studies on Tragelaphus have argued that they comprise either nine or ten species based on mtDNA and nuclear DNA respectively/chromosomal number difference. With the same …

Stable isotope ecology of modern herbivores from Mmabolela, Limpopo
… species eland (Taurotragus oryx), bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus) and kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros). The δ 15N values for all species (including corrected values for keratin from Hystrix africaeaustralis) range from 7.73‰ to 11.20‰. δ 15N values of baboons fall within the range seen in …

Anthropogenic effects on site use and temporal patterns of terrestrial mammals in Harenna Forest, Ethiopia
… cristata) were nocturnal, Menelik bushbucks (Tragelaphus scriptus meneliki) were crepuscular, and the remaining species ranged from diurnal to cathemeral. Neither similar body size nor similar diet affected overlap between species pairs. However, overlap with human temporal activity was low …

Efficacy of an Electronic Scarecrow on 4 Mammalian Crop-Raiders in Limpopo Province, South Africa
… africaeaustralis</em>) and bushbuck (<em>Tragelaphus scriptus</em>), are among many species of crop raiders. Currently, cost-effective, non-lethal solutions are lacking. From June through December 2012, I installed novel electronic scarecrows on two commercial citrus orchards and a private …

Molecular phylogenetics and conservation aspects of antelopes
… to incorporate these taxa in the genus Tragelaphus. The genus Gazella could be paraphyletic, due to the position of Antilope cervicapra, in which case the genus needs to be split into two genera or renamed as Antilope. It is also argued that the use of the subgenus Trachelocele should be …
