“…It can also be attributed to selective exploitation (as evidenced in Mkpok forest) of these plant species which may have led to slow rate of regeneration and low ecological tolerance (Kabir et al, 2008). Furthermore, the species composition in the forests corroborates with the findings of (Onyekwelu et al, 2005;Ukpong et al, 2012;Udoakpan et al, 2013;Daniel et al, 2015 andJacob et al, 2015). These researchers reported that within the southern rainforests, a number of forest types can be recognized, some are rich in species of family Sterculiaceae, Moraceae, Meliaceae, Euphorbaceae, Mimosaceae (Fabaceae) and Apocynaceae with a middle storey of dense-crowned, wide-spreading trees and a ground flora that is mainly herbaceous and characterized by an abundance of creepers, mostly Acacia sp.…”

“…Where PD = population density, n = number of individuals, l = length of the transect (m), w = width of the transect (m), and a = area of the transect in km 2 [13]. The relative dominance, frequency, relative density and importance value index were determined using the formula: (Jacob et al [6,13])…”

“…Distortions in habitats and tree composition will imply that the monkeys will have to navigate between patches of forest for food cover and shelter, which will further predispose the species to other environmental hazards. Absence of preferred animal food in required amount can cause species population to shrink, thereby affecting the quality and health of the ecosystem [6].…”
