Alien Mammals in the Afrotropical Region and Their Impact on the Vertebrate Biodiversity: A Review

2025-03-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction: </h4> of alien species may pose enormous threat to indigenous flora and fauna. Among introduced animals probably the most destructive to the natural environment are mammals. This is true at least in regard to the Afrotropical Region (sub-Saharan Africa). The presented paper attempt to summarize our knowledge on alien mammals in this region and their impact on the indigenous vertebrate fauna. This...
