The Ethiopian highlands are part of Conservation International&#8217;s Eastern Afro-Montane Biodiversity Hotspot supporting a large number of endemic mammal and bird species. In the highlands, rodent species are key for the survival of many species including the endangered Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis) and over 25 species of diurnal raptors. However, increasing agricultural activities and livestock grazing affect rodent density and distribution through degrading their habitat and disrupting their reproductive cycle. As human settlement expands into the Ethiopian wolf range, it also attracts the African wolf (Canis lupaster) towards the core area of the Ethiopian wolf. The African wolf was recently reported to affect the survival of the Ethiopian wolf though exploitative and interference competition. Along with all the anthropogenic effects, climate change may further threaten the rodent abundance of the Ethiopian highlands through altering the grassland vegetation cover, the main forage of the rodents. Polices and strategies for the conservation management of the Ethiopian highlands should consider rodents as keystone prey playing a critical role for the survival of a large number of wildlife species.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen: Las tierras altas de Etiopía son el hábitat afroalpino más grande del continente africano, aportando el 80 % de la tierra por arriba de los 3,000 msnm del continente. Las tierras altas de Etiopía forman parte del Hotspot de biodiversidad afro-montano oriental de Conservation International, que alberga una gran cantidad de especies endémicas de mamíferos y aves. En las tierras altas, las especies de roedores son clave para la supervivencia de muchas especies, incluido el lobo etíope en peligro de extinción y más de 25 especies de rapaces diurnas. Sin embargo, el aumento de las actividades agrícolas y el pastoreo de ganado afectan la densidad y distribución de los roedores, degradando su hábitat e interrumpen su ciclo reproductivo. A medida que el asentamiento humano se expande hacia la zona de distribución del lobo etíope, también atrae al lobo africano hacia el área central del lobo etíope. Se informó recientemente que el lobo africano afecta la supervivencia del lobo etíope a través de la competencia de explotación e interferencia. Junto con todos los efectos antropogénicos, el cambio climático puede amenazar aún más la abundancia de roedores en las tierras altas de Etiopía al alterar la cubierta vegetal de los pastizales, el principal forraje de los roedores. Las políticas y estrategias para la gestión de la conservación de las tierras altas de Etiopía deben considerar a los roedores como presas clave que desempeñan un papel fundamental para la supervivencia de una gran cantidad de especies de vida silvestre.]]></p></abstract>
