    The Ambangulu Forest, West Usambara Mountains, Tanzania: A Threatened Eastern Arc Forest. Oryx
    (1995-06) Goodman, Steven M.; Stanley, William T.; Newmark, William D.; Howell, Kim
    Ambangulu Forest is one of the few remaining tracts of natural forest between 800 and 1200 m in the West Usambara Mountains of Tanzania. It may be the biologically richest area in the region but it is threatened by illegal felling of timber trees, wind damage, grazing and browsing livestock, and collection of fuel-wood and building poles. A proposed project aims to protect the forest and benefit local people at the same time.

    A Survey of the Small Mammals of the Gonja Forest Reserve, Tanzania
    (2009-01) Stanley, William T.; Goodman, Steven M.; Kihaule, Philip M.; Howell, Kim
    Small mammals were surveyed in the lowland forest of the Gonja Forest Reserve of north-eastern Tanzania. In 565 trap-nights 10 rodents (three species) were captured. In 12.5 net hours 27 bats (11 species) were netted. Comparisons of similar surveys in nearby montane forests indicate a lower density and diversity of rodents and shrews in Gonja than in higher elevation habitats. Information is presented on external measurements, weight and reproductive condition of the specimens collected.
