Consequences of anthropogenic changes on rodent communities and populations: study cases on native and introduced species in Eastern Senegal
Rodent communities and populations in the Sudanian savanna of Eastern Senegal were investigated in relation to the intensity of human-made changes of the environment. One of main drivers of the global change, land use, caused significantly higher abundances of rodent communities in agriculture lands...
