Mammals’ use of forest-cashew-rice mosaics in West Africa is modulated by their trophic guild

2024-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Over millennia, mammals have co-existed with humans across the forest-savannah mosaics characterising part of West Africa. While some savannahs have long been used for rice cultivation in Guinea-Bissau, both those and forests are now being rapidly converted into cashew monocultures. To understand how species cope with such land-use changes, we investigated how mammals make use of forest patches, cashew orchards an...
