Western lowland gorilla density and nesting behavior in a Gabonese forest logged for 25 years: implications for gorilla conservation

2014-10-01

Abstract excerpt

The tropical forests of the Congo Basin constitute biodiversity refuges that still hold large numbers of species, including endemic and endangered vertebrates. Along with several key species, the critically endangered western lowland gorilla (WLG) potentially contributes to forest dynamics through seed dispersal. Considering the extensive influence of timber harvesting on tropical forest ecosystems, the survival o...
