Line-transect data may not produce reliable estimates of interannual sex-ratio and age structure variation in West African savannah ungulates

Line-transect data may not produce reliable estimates of interannual sex-ratio and age structure variation in West African savannah ungulates

Adult sex ratios and age structures are important wildlife population parameters, but they have been poorly investigated in ungulate species in West African savannahs.
