The conservation status of a poorly known range-restricted mammal, the Nimba otter-shrew<i>Micropotamogale lamottei</i> Open
We have a poor understanding of the ecology of many African small mammals due to a lack of basic research. This has important conservation implications, particularly for range-restricted species in tropical regions. In this study, we provi…
