Rapid dung removal by beetles suggests higher duiker densities in Central African rainforests

Rapid dung removal by beetles suggests higher duiker densities in Central African rainforests

For many mammal species, converting dung density into population density requires accurate estimates of defaecation rate and dung survival time. The latter parameter probably varies seasonally. In Nki National Park, south-east Cameroon, we monitored 216 dung piles of the blue duiker Philantomba mont...
