Are hippos Africa's most influential megaherbivore? A review of ecosystem engineering by the semi‐aquatic common hippopotamus
Megaherbivores perform vital ecosystem engineering roles, and have their last remaining
stronghold in Africa. Of Africa's remaining megaherbivores, the common hippopotamus …

Variation in herbivore space use: comparing two savanna ecosystems with different anthrax outbreak patterns in southern Africa
Background The distribution of resources can affect animal range sizes, which in turn may
alter infectious disease dynamics in heterogenous environments. The risk of pathogen …

Hippos alter their aggregations to mitigate density‐dependent drought effects
Megaherbivores play a critical role in the ecology of African savannas and grasslands. In
addition, these systems are forecast to experience more frequent and severe droughts as a …

Effect of human induced surface water scarcity on herbivore distribution during the dry season in Ruaha National Park, Tanzania
In Africa, burgeoning human populations promote agricultural expansion and the associated
demand for water. Water abstraction for agriculture from perennial rivers can be detrimental …
