Effects of disturbances by forest elephants on diversity of trees and insects in tropical rainforests on Mount Cameroon
Abstract Natural disturbances are essential for tropical forests biodiversity. In the Afrotropics, megaherbivores have played a key role before their recent decline. Contrastingly to savanna elephants, forest elephants’ impact on ecosystems remains poorly studied. Few decades ago, forests on Mount C...
