A survey of the mammals of the Ajai Wildlife Reserve before, during and after large mammal reintroductions.
REFNo: NS710ES

The small mammals of Uganda have been fairly well studied in some regions of the country, but northern regions lack modern survey data documenting species occurrences. The Ajai Wildlife Reserve is located close to a very important historical ‘type’ location, Rhino Camp, where many original species descriptions were made. Most of these specimens, however, are very old, lack associated molecular tissues, and confound taxonomic advancements in many groups (particularly rodents and shrews). Additionally, per conversations with collaborators and rangers, we have come to learn that large mammal reintroductions are planned for Ajai. Conducting surveys before and after any reintroductions will allow us to evaluate changes through time associated with reintroducing extirpated species to this reserve.
