Ungulate movements in the Greater Sossusvlei Namib Landscape

Aim of the project: Determine the movements of large ungulates in the Namib, and the impact of fences on these movements

Home range shapes (Honours student S. Urban) Fig. 3 a - d. Total home ranges of springbok using a 95% utilisation distribution (UD). Dark blue contours represent the highest probability density of springbok.

Home range sizes – seasonal trends

Seasonal movements Fig. 7 a – d. Monthly home ranges of zebra. Dots represent centroids of each home range (95% UD) and numbers represent the months from the start to the end of the data collection period.

Effects of fences Above: Linear location pings of Springbok Nan 135 and Nan 134 indicating limitation of movement by the fences between NaDEET and Wereldend. Nan 135 was the animal freed by Peter Woolfe from entanglement in the fence in February. Fig.12 a – c. Impact of fences on the movement of springbok 134, springbok 135, oryx 1765 and oryx 1769 in the GSNL and surrounding areas.

Home range and thermal analysis of two sympatric tortoise species (Stigmochelys pardalis and Psammobates Oculifer)

Behavioural and Spatial Ecology of the Puff Adder, Bitis arietans, and the effects of translocation as a conflict management Strategy
