Hunting and trapping in Lebialem Division, Cameroon: bushmeat harvesting practices and human reliance. (2010, background): “The notable differences between the 3 forest blocks are the known presence of Cross River gorillas in the BFB forest and the protected status of BMWS (Ekinde & Khumbah 2006, Bergl et al. 2007).”
Targeted vertebrate surveys enhance the faunal importance and improve explanatory models within the Eastern Arc Mountains of Kenya and Tanzania (2014, background): “…species, which for endemic reptiles and amphibians is unmatched in Africa (Tolley et al., 2013; K. Tolley & M.M., unpublished data), while for birds and mammals is paralleled only in the Albertine Rift and Cameroon highlands (Bergl et al., 2007; Plumptre et al., 2007; Fjelds a & Bowie, 2008).”
The performance of African protected areas for lions and their prey (2017, unknown): “PAs contain essential habitat formany of Africa'smost iconic, threatened and endemic species (Bergl et al., 2007).”
Explaining the global pattern of protected area coverage: relative importance of vertebrate biodiversity, human activities and agricultural suitability (2008, background): “Conversely, the protected area system has under-represented montane areas, rich in endemics, such as Tanzania’s Eastern Arc Mountains or the Nigeria–Cameroon forested highlands (Bergl et al., 2007; Burgess et al., 2007).”
