Article Synopsis
- Effective reintroduction strategies for the rare hirola antelope depend on understanding vital rates and their influences.
- Research showed that hirola populations with low predation and high-quality rangeland had better survival and population growth rates (λ = 1.08) compared to those in harsher conditions (λ = 0.70).
- Main factors affecting these rates included higher fecundity and calf survival in safer environments, while adult female survival was crucial in areas with varying rangeland quality, highlighting the roles of predation and habitat quality in population dynamics.
- To improve reintroduction success, conservationists should focus on restoring rangeland to support hirola populations effectively.
