Ectoparasites in Small Mammals of Chilalo-Galama Mountains Range: Zoonotic Disease Transmission and One Health Significance Open
Ectoparasites play a vital role in the transmission of zoonotic diseases and are an essential component of the ecosystem. However, very few studies have been conducted on the ectoparasites of small mammals in Ethiopia, particularly in the …

Impact of climate change on the distribution and predicted habitat suitability of two fruit bats (<i>Rousettus aegyptiacus</i> and <i>Epomophorus labiatus</i>) in Ethiopia: Implications for conservation Open
Fruit bats serve as crucial bioindicators, seed dispersers, pollinators, and contributors to food security within ecosystems. However, their population and distribution were threatened by climate change and anthropogenic pressures. Underst…

Up in the air: Threats to Afromontane biodiversity from climate change and habitat loss revealed by genetic monitoring of the Ethiopian Highlands bat Open
While climate change is recognized as a major future threat to biodiversity, most species are currently threatened by extensive human‐induced habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation. Tropical high‐altitude alpine and montane forest eco…

Rodents of Choke Mountain and surrounding areas (Ethiopia): the Blue Nile gorge as a strong biogeographic barrier Open
Faunal studies of rodent assemblages from the areas on and around Choke Mountain (north-western Ethiopia) were conducted during two field seasons in 2012 and 2018. Here we present results of a genetic study of nine rodent species, and eval…

Foraging ecology of African wolves ( <i>Canis lupaster</i> ) and its implications for the conservation of Ethiopian wolves ( <i>Canis simensis</i> ) Open
African wolves (AWs) are sympatric with endangered Ethiopian wolves (EWs) in parts of their range. Scat analyses have suggested a dietary overlap between AWs and EWs, raising the potential for exploitative competition, and a possible conse…
