To assess ecological consequences of bushmeat hunting in African lowland rainforests, we compared paired sites, with high and low hunting pressure, in three areas of southeastern Nigeria. In hunted si
1.There is a growing recognition of the importance of indirect effects from hunting on wildlife populations, e.g., social and behavioral changes due to harvest, which occur after the initial offtake.
Rankings were stratified into model sets comparing 1) lek-specific variables describing lambda (λ) or instantaneous growth rate (r) and equilibrium abundance (K; top five models reported), and 2) top-
