The Importance of Forest Elephants for Vegetation Structure Modification and Its Influence on the Bird Community of a Mid-Elevation Forest on Mount Cameroon, West-Central Africa

Most of the tropical rainforests are subject to both anthropogenic and natural disturbances. Forest elephants (<i>Loxodonta cyclotis</i>) cause forest clearings within the tropics. This study was conducted at mid-elevations (1100–1700 m a.s.l.) in Mount Cameroon National Park. We assesse...
