    Author : Alice Michel; [2019]
    Keywords : ecological trap; rhinoceros; maladaptation; megaherbivore; source-sink; habitat quality; middens;

    Abstract : In an ecological trap, animals choose habitat based upon cues that once led members of their species to optimal habitat, but now lead to habitat where individual fitness is reduced because of changing conditions. The southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) is a threatened species due to poaching for its keratin horn. READ MORE
