The paper demonstrates that soil eDNA metabarcoding near waterholes efficiently detects terrestrial mammal diversity in the Central Kalahari, outperforming road sampling and complementing camera trapping.

This study examines how prey abundance and catchability at waterholes influence lion visitation patterns in a savannah ecosystem, finding that these factors only weakly explain visit frequency and duration.

The paper quantifies how zebra diel migrations reduce lion encounter risk and distinguishes this from vegetation selection effects in a terrestrial ecosystem.
