Fig. 3: Hunting offtake indicators in relation to the degree of faunal degradation.
From: Hunting indicators for community-led wildlife management in tropical Africa
Village faunal degradation is represented by the median value for each hunter community of the Bray-Curtis (BC) dissimilarities with the reference site. Trends of offtake indicators related to a the ratio of rodent kills to ungulate kills, b the mean body mass (MBM) of the total offtake and c the percentage of pieces traded are represented along the degradation gradient. The Pearson correlation coefficient (r) and the coefficient of determination (R2) of linear regressions of each combination are displayed. The mean biomass harvested in kg per hunting hour (catch-per-unit-effort metric) is also provided for all species d and for each species group: ungulates e, rodents f, primates g, and birds h. The villages are organized in the bar charts by increasing faunal degradation (Supplementary Table 1), BA stands for Baposso, NZ for Nzondet, ND for Ndambi, DO for Doumé, BN for Bakoussou-Ndekabalandji, BO for Boundzi, MA for Malende, KE for Kessipoughou, LI for Lipaka2 and BE for Bembicani.
