摘要: Abstract Forest buffalo (Syncerus caffer nanus) occur throughout the Congo Basin forest region of central Africa. Unlike for well-studied Cape (or savanna) caffer), few data exist buffalo. I tracked 7 radiocollared adult female at Lope National Park, Gabon, over a 2-year period (2002–2004) to examine home ranges, habitat selection, and diurnal activity patterns. Home ranges averaged 4.55 km2 in area (mean number locations per animal = 205); percent home-range overlap between individual was small. remained same size both study years. Distance analysis use from radiotracking used assess selection 2 spatial scales. At landscape scale, selected savanna marsh within 72-km2 area. Thus, were savanna-dominated despite greater a...
