Shell Gabon provided financial support for field work, especially to HRM and LK. Shell
Gabon also provided logistical support including flights, lodging and food to LK,
HRM, DK and 14 other field staff. Shell Gabon had no role in study design, data collection
and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. The Smithsonian
Tropical Research institute through the Forest Global Earth Observatory (ForestGEO)
provided funding for the salaries of 12 field staff including HRM, and also provided
funding to DK for training and technical advice. The Rabi plot was established with
the protocols developed by ForestGEO, and DK is African Program Coordinator for ForestGEO.
The data was analyzed by HRM, DK and JL during a series of analytical workshops funded
by ForestGEO in China, US and Panama.
