Abstract

Spotted hyaena distribution currently widely encompasses sub-Saharan Africa, apart from the Congo Basin. Formerly described as residents of Gabon but considered extinct, vagrant individuals have been recorded since 2003, but no systematic species presence assessment has been made. Based on records of killed individuals, tracks and camera-trap sightings, we show that not only vagrant individuals are roaming in Gabon, but a small resident population occurs in the North-East of the country. The records collated here formed the basis for spotted hyaenas to be listed as protected in Gabon, were included in the IUCN Red List species' range map update and showcased the importance of large-scale by-catch data analysis in updating species distributions.

加蓬斑纹鬣狗的最新分布揭示了常住种群的情况

除刚果盆地外，斑点鬣狗目前广泛分布于撒哈拉以南非洲地区。斑纹鬣狗曾被描述为加蓬的居民，但被认为已经灭绝，自 2003 年以来一直有流浪个体的记录，但没有进行过系统的物种存在评估。根据被杀个体的记录、足迹和相机捕捉到的景象，我们发现加蓬不仅有流浪个体，而且在该国东北部还有一个小的常住种群。这些记录为加蓬将斑纹鬣狗列为保护动物奠定了基础，并被纳入世界自然保护联盟（IUCN）红色名录的物种分布图更新中，同时也展示了大规模副渔获物数据分析在更新物种分布方面的重要性。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
