Abstract

Issues concerning the behavior of elephants in Gabon's Lope Reserve, focusing on the possibility of an orphaned elephant who was cared for in the camp in 1984 may have returned in 1992. Topics include how comfortable the elephant was around people and the naming of the 1992 elephant after folksinger Billy Bragg.

25. Introgression through rare hybridization: a genetic study of a hybrid zone between Red and Sika deer (genus Cervus) in Argyll, Scotland

Abstract

In this article we describe the structure of a hybrid zone in Argyll, Scotland, between native red deer (Cervus elaphus) and introduced Japanese sika deer (Cervus nippon), on the basis of a genetic analysis using 11 microsatellite markers and mitochondrial DNA. In contrast to the findings of a previous study of the same population, we conclude that the deer fall into two distinct genetic classes, corresponding to either a sika-like or red-like phenotype. Introgression is rare at any one locus, but where the taxa overlap up to 40% of deer carry apparently introgressed alleles. While most putative hybrids are heterozygous at only one locus, there are rare multiple heterozygotes, reflecting significant linkage disequilibrium within both sika- and red-like populations. The rate of backcrossing into the sika population is estimated as H = 0.002 per generation and into red, H = 0.001 per generation. On the basis of historical evidence that red deer entered Kintyre only recently, a diffusion model evaluated by maximum likelihood shows that sika have increased at [approximately]9.2% [yr.sup.-1] from low frequency and disperse at a rate of [approximately equal to] 3.7 km [yr.sup.-1]. Introgression into the red-like population is greater in the south, while introgression into sika varies little along the transect. For both sika- and red-like populations, the degree of introgression is 30-40% of that predicted from the rates of current hybridization inferred from linkage disequilibria; however, in neither case is this statistically significant evidence for selection against introgression.

Abstract

Abstract One of the dominant savannah colonists in Gabon is Aucoumea klaineana or Okoumé (Burseraceae), an endemic species which belongs to a monotypic genus. Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) variation was studied in this species by means of PCR amplification of 40 kb of cpDNA sequences, followed by restriction analysis of the resulting fragments. No insertion/deletion events were noted, and a single point mutation was found. The level of differentiation among the 19 populations studied was relatively low (GST = 0.54) compared to other plant species (mean of 0.76), in agreement with the pioneer status of the species. However, cpDNA diversity was geographically structured, with the less frequent haplotype occurring only in populations from southern Gabon. This distribution might suggest either that there were two ancient source populations of Okoumé, one in the north and the other in the south, from which the colonizing process of the savannah began after the last ice age, or alternatively that there was one polymorphic source in the south. The low level of cpDNA diversity could indicate that Okoumé populations in these refugia were quite small. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

31. Ten Days in the Life of a Mandrill Horde in the Lopé Reserve, Gabon.

Abstract

Mandrills have long been known to form large aggregations in the wild, but it has proved difficult to obtain detailed information on the socioecology of these groups. An unusually large (>600) horde of mandrills was followed for ten days during the 1995 dry season in Central Gabon, and data were collected on group composition and ecology while the mandrills were in an area of forest-savanna mosaic habitat in the north of the Lopé Reserve. Three separate counts of most of the group showed that fully coloured "fatted" adult males were present throughout the horde at a mean ratio to other individuals of 1:21. Paler "non-fatted" adult and subadult males were also distributed throughout. Mandrill diet over the ten days consisted mainly of insects, seeds from forest trees, and leaves or stems of understory herbaceous plants. Feeding was extremely selective, with most food items consumed in a much higher proportion than would be predicted from their relative availability. Ranging data also showed that the mandrills foraged preferentially in certain forest types within the forest-savanna mosaic, namely in Marantaceae and Rocky Forest. It is suggested that one reason why mandrills pass through gallery forests and forest-savanna mosaic in the dry season in the Lopé Reserve is because they find fruit there from preferred species, which are no longer fruiting in the main forest block, thus allowing them to maintain the fruit component of their diet at a time of fruit shortage.
