摘要
Local seasonal movements of the ungulates in Nyika National Park, Malawi, are mainly induced by the prescribed burning policy, habitat preference and weather. The populations of almost all ungulates have increased over the past 14 years except the zebra (Equus burchelli), whose population has stagnated. Eland (Tragelaphus oryx) is the most important contributor to the total biomass of the park's large mammals. Continuation of manipulative burning has been recommended.
