Etude préliminaire de l'influence des disponibilités alimentaires et des activités humaines sur l’utilisation spatiale de l’habitat par les chimpanzés et les bonobos by Victor Narat, Marie Cibot, Jean Christophe Bokika Ngawolo, Richard Dumez, Sabrina Krief

“…Human activities in the home range of bonobos are more diversified, with several traditional activities (culture, gathering, hunting with nylon snares) and the encounter rates of human signs is higher (2,3 signs/km, 48 km) than in Uganda (1,84 signs/km, 74,5 km)In the future, increased habituation, detailed habitat characterization including spatial and phenological monitoring of Ape food, especially terrestrial herbaceous vegetation and interviews of a larger sample of local persons will allow performing a detailed spatio-temporal analysis of habitat use by bonobos and chimpanzees.Such studies may provide a better understanding of the adaptability of these species and their representation by local human communities to propose appropriate conservation strategies including improvement of local people well-being and wealth.…”

Increasing vulnerability of an endemic Mediterranean-climate conifer to changing climate and fire regime by Frank W. Davis, Anne-Marie Parkinson, Max A. Moritz, Max A. Moritz, Isaac W. Park, Carla M. D’Antonio

“…We also modeled the distribution of Quercus chrysolepis (CLO), a widespread oak that can be co-dominant with BDF and that can limit fire spread and reduce crown fire risk to BDF compared to the risk from surrounding chaparral vegetation. Ensembles of MAXENT and General Boosted Models were produced for a 2.1 million ha model domain encompassing BDF’s 672,000 ha range for the period 1981–2010, and were projected to 2040–2069 and 2070–2099 using three climate models (warmer-wetter, warmer, and hotter-drier) under a high emission scenario (IPCC 5th Assessment, RCP 8.5). …”
