  abstract = {{T}he spread of human activity, settlement and land fragmentation threatens the migrations of large migratory ungulates in {A}frica. {M}odelling the migrations gives conservationists a tool for building scenarios of the threats and containment options. {W}e propose a simple spatially explicit mathematical model of ungulate migrations based on the seasonal distribution of vegetation quantity and quality and allometric models of diet. {W}e use the seasonal movements of selected migrants in relation to vegetation in the {A}mboseli ecosystem, {K}enya. {P}arameters estimation was done by fitting the model to long term movement patterns by minimizing total least square errors. {T}he model suggests that the migrants broadly track the shifting patterns of vegetation growth and senescence according to body size.},
