“…Since the 1970s, abundance of large mammals in African protected areas has undergone a continent‐wide halving (Craigie et al, 2010). A challenge for researchers is to determine how much of the variation in antelope abundance is due to direct conflicts with humans or to climate change (Hopcraft, 2016). On the one hand, climate change alters rainfall and temperature patterns throughout the savannahs of eastern and southern Africa which may impact antelopes in multiple ways (Ford et al, 2016).…”

“…Similarly, the fewer and more unpredictable rainfall events associated with climate change in eastern Africa are therefore likely to reduce the amount of forage available to herbivores and might negatively affect their group sizes (Y. Cheng et al, 2011;Hopcraft, 2016;Mccollum et al, 2017). The reduced group sizes affect the social organization for ungulates living in herds (Barrette, 1991).…”

“…This influence is seen in reproductive fitness (Ogutu et al, 2014;Parker et al, 2009), species abundance and population structure as well as in group size (Bercovitch & Berry, 2010;Tshabalala et al, 2009). The experienced fewer and more unpredictable rainfall events associated with the changing climate in eastern Africa are therefore likely to reduce the amount of forage available to herbivores and might negatively affect their group sizes (Cheng et al, 2011;Hopcraft, 2016;Mccollum et al, 2017). The reduced group sizes affect the social organization for ungulates living in herds by breaking up of large herds into a number of smaller herds which are not recommendable for herbivores living in herds (Barrette, 1991).…”
