1. What do we know about mammal movement in African tropical forests? -- 2. Movements patterns and population dynamics of giant forest hog groups in Kibale National Park, Uganda -- 3. Forest elephant movements in Central Africa - megafauna need megaspaces -- 4. Elephant movements, abundance and use of water sources in Kibale National Park, Uganda -- 5. Movement ecology and evolutionary history of forest buffalo -- 6. Site fidelity and home range shifts in a leaf-eating primate -- 7. Primate movements across the nutritional landscapes of Africa -- 8. Conditions facilitating a "landscape of fear from disease" in African forest mammals -- 9. Do seasonally frugivory and cognition shape foraging movements in wild western gorillas? -- 10. Females Move in Tight Crowds, Males Roam: Society and Movement Ecology of Mandrills -- 11. Linking Movement Ecology to Conservation Biology.

This book brings a unique perspective to animal movement studies because all studies come from African tropical environments where the great diversity, either biological and structurally (trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes), present the animals with several options to fulfil their basic needs. These conditions have forced the evolution of unique movement patterns and ecological strategies. The book follows on our previous book "Movement Ecology of Neotropical Forest Mammals" but focuses on tropical African forests. Movement is an essential process in the life of all organisms. Animals move because they are looking for primary needs such as food, water, cover, mating and to avoid predators. Understanding the causes and consequences of animal movement is not an easy task for behavioural ecologists. Many animals are shy, move in secretive ways and are very sensible to human presence, therefore, studying the movements of mammals in tropical environments presents logistical and methodological challenges. However, researchers have recently started to be solved these challenges and exciting new information is emerging. In this book we are compiling a set of extraordinary studies where researchers have used new technology and the strongest methodological approaches to understand movement patterns in wild African forest mammals. This second book should inspire early career researchers to investigate wild mammal's movements in some of the most amazing forest in the world: African tropical forests.
