The tusks of African elephants (Loxodonta africana) have evolved as intra-sexual combat weapons, as well as tools for feeding and digging.
The internal state of an individual—as it relates to thirst, hunger, fear, or reproductive drive—can be inferred by referencing points on its movement path to external environmental and sociological variables.
Hormones play a crucial role in mediating genetic and environmental effects into morphological and behavioral phenotypes. In systems with alternative reproductive tactics (ART) shifts between tactics are hypothesized to be under proximate hormonal control
We investigated population genetic structure and regional differentiation among African savannah elephants in Kenya using mitochondrial and microsatellite markers.
The 1990s have been the first years since the 1960s that Kenya’s elephants have not substantially declined in numbers. Major savannah populations such as Tsavo, Laikipia–Samburu and Amboseli have increased significantly; others such as Mara and Meru have
This report is the fifth in a series of surveys that depict the status and trends of the elephant ivory markets in a particular region of the world.
Conservation managers are concerned about the impact that African elephants (Loxodonta africana) have on large tree species, necessitating the need for mitigation methods.
L’équipe du Projet Eléphant Mali constituée de la WILD Foundation, de Save the Elephants et de l’Environment and Development Group est heureuse de soumettre ce rapport sur la première phase (2003-2006) du projet.
The Gourma elephant population is unique in Africa for three reasons: it is the northernmost population on the continent, it occupies an exceptionally harsh, arid environment and it owes its existence to historical co-existence with the people of the regi
Information on age- and tactic-related paternity success is essential for understanding the lifetime reproductive strategy of males and constitutes an important component of the fitness trade-offs that shape the life-history traits of a species.
Non-invasive endocrine methods enable investigation of the relationship between ecological variation and ovarian activity and how this impacts on demographic processes.
