Population Dynamics, Dispersal and Genetic Isolation in two Species of Hyrax (Heterohyrax brucei and Procavia johnstoni) on Habitat Islands in the Serengeti1,2)

Abstract: The rock outcrops or kopjes in the Serengeti National Park are habitat islands. Their most characteristic mammals are the bush hyrax Heterohyrax brucei and the rock hyrax Procavia johnstoni. Thus, these species are particularly suitable for a comparative study of population structure and dynamics as well as other biogeographical processes. Data on group size, composition and dynamics, as well as on dispersal patterns, colonization and genetic isolation are presented, based on 6 years of observations of 2 H. br… Show more

“…These environments are still host much of the dense dry forests and gallery forests, habitats of tree hyrax, as outcrops, granite hills and inselbergs which are habitats of rock hyrax . Thanks to ecotones or habitat diversity (sites Kaodji and Koda), two different kinds of hyraxes can live in the same environment albeit allotopic way as in the Serengeti park in Tanzania (Hoeck 1982(Hoeck , 1989. The localities of Kaodji and Koda host each occupation sites of Procavia capensis and Dendrohyrax dorsalis subsp sylvestris located at 1 to 2 km from each other.…”

“…Most other occupancy sites of tree hyrax correspond to smaller forest patches, a few hectares. Occupation sites of less than a hectare were observed in isolated hyraxes groups in Tanzania (Hoeck, 1982). It is not only the classified forests, sacred or community forests usually degraded and used as last refuges by the taxon but also inaccessible gallery forests, swamps and flood forests.…”
