Acknowledgements,
We are particularly indebted to all the people in Senegal who welcomed
us into their homes for small mammal trapping. We also thank all those
who have helped us locally to make these surveys possible, from village
chiefs to local contractors. Fundings came from the CHANCIRA (Contract
”ANR‐11‐CEPL‐010”), and ENEMI (Contract ”ANR‐11‐JSV7‐0006” projects.
Additional fundings and logistical support came from Research Unit CBGP
(”Centre de Biologie pour la Gestion des Populations”).
