Non-human predator interactions with wild great apes in Africa and the use of camera traps to study their dynamics.

摘要: The slow life histories of great apes (hereafter ‘apes’) combined with a growing inventory predation incidents suggest that may be strongly affected by direct predation, as well risk. Predation risk shape and increase behavioural flexibility forcing individuals to adapt their behaviour predator patterns. Forest leopards are an apex primates in African rain forests represent significant ape populations. More field data needed further elucidate the modifications response predation. We present research methods combine use remote camera traps, capture-mark-recapture statistics occupancy modelling study predator-African relationships potential antipredator through spatial variation species co-occurrence
