Walter's Duiker ( Colyn, 2010): A Literature Review on a Recently Identified and Potentially Vulnerable Species.

Based on recent taxonomic and molecular tools, the Walter's duiker ( Colyn, 2010), endemic to the Dahomey Gap in West Africa, has been recognized as a new species in 2010. This species is largely hunted and may already be threatened by extinction. This review paper aims to synthesize the current knowledge on this species, covering its taxonomy, morphology, biology, ecology, diet, seed dispersal role, reproduction patterns, activity rate, parasitology, spatial distribution, habitats, population densities, and ongoing human pressures.
