Powerful, award-winning nature films like ‘The Elephant Queen’, made by filmmakers Mark Deeble, Victoria Stone and Etienne Oliff, have the potential to reshape attitudes and garner support for elephants in rural communities, according to a new study.
The present thesis investigates aspects of the reproductive strategy of male African savannah elephants (Loxodonata africana).
In this paper, we present a new method for estimating elephant densities by counting elephant wells and dung boli within dry seasonal ooding rivers.
This report is the fourth in a series of surveys that depict the status and trends of the elephant ivory markets in a particular region of the world.
High precision condensation dental silicon, ZetalaborTM, was used to create moulds of the lower jaw molars from 22 immobilized African elephants (Loxodonta africana Blumenback) during radio collaring operations.
Individual based demographic records of the elephants utilizing Samburu and Buffalo Springs National Reserves were collected from 1998 through 2003 and indicate that this elephant population was increasing at an average rate of 4.6% per year.
Musth in male African elephants, Loxodonta africana, is associated with increased aggressive behavior, continuous discharge of urine, copious secretions from the swollen temporal glands, and elevated androgen levels.
A variety of challenges face the conservation of African elephants, stemming from the illegal poaching for ivory to habitat loss resulting in range restriction.
In this paper, we investigate the formation and function of the multilevelled, fission-fusion social structure in a free-ranging African elephant, Loxodonta africana, population.
Ce rapport est bref par nature et il est soumis afin que la DNCN reste pleinement informée des progrès de ce projet. Le Protocole d’Accord de Coopération actuel a été signé en septembre 2003 et est en vigueur pendant deux ans.
