Preliminary surveys of the terrestrial vertebrate fauna (mammals, reptiles, and amphibians) of the Edumanon Forest Reserve, Nigeria
TL;DR: Results of preliminary surveys for determining a checklist and a relative estimate of abundance for three groups of vertebrates, namely mammals, reptiles, and amphibians suggest that species dominance was high and evenness was low, thus revealing altered ecological conditions in this forest area.

Are mammal communities occurring at a regional scale reliably represented in “hub” bushmeat markets? A case study with Bayelsa State (Niger Delta, Nigeria)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether data coming from monitoring of large “hub” markets in towns can reliably picture the mammal faunas and community compositions at the local level, and concluded that large-sized bushmeat markets did not depict reliably the whole faunal composition and the community structure of mammals in West Africa.

Fabio Petrozzi,Giovanni Amori,Daniel Franco,Philippe Gaubert,Nic Pacini,Edem A. Eniang,Godfrey C. Akani,Edoardo Politano,Luca Luiselli +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the observed trends may suggest an imminent reduction of large-bodied herbivores and, as a cascade effect, also of super-predators in African moist forests.
