Protective Benefits of Tending Ants to a Critically Endangered Butterfly

Journal of Insect Science, 2022
Abstract Ants provide protection to various organisms via myrmecophilous relationships. Most notably, ants and several butterfly species are involved in mainly mutualistic interactions. Previous field studies have shown that butterfly larval survival is increased in the presence of tending ants, suggesting that ants are providing ...

Evaluating the Habitat of the Critically Endangered Kipunji Monkey

Journal of East African Natural History, 2015
Effective conservation of threatened species requires a good understanding of their habitat. Most primates are threatened by tropical forest loss. One population of the critically endangered kipunji monkey Rungwecebus kipunji occurs in a restricted part of one forest in southern Tanzania. This restricted range is something of an enigma.

Improving the Design of a Conservation Reserve for a Critically Endangered Species

PLOS ONE, 2017
Setting aside protected areas is a key strategy for tackling biodiversity loss. Reserve effectiveness depends on the extent to which protected areas capture both known occurrences and areas likely to support the species. We assessed the effectiveness of the existing reserve network for Leadbeater's Possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri) and other forest ...
