TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and tested a working procedure for identification of new tree species and genotypes that holds the potential to diversify urban tree populations in urban paved sites.
Elevational and Possible Bushmeat Exploitation Effects on Dung Beetle (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) Communities on Mount Cameroon, West Central Africa
TL;DR: Unexpected low diversity and abundance at the lowest elevation are hypothesized to be due at least in part to the effects of bushmeat hunting in the more accessible lower elevations and the concomitant effects on dung beetles that mainly utilize mammal dung.
