Elephant testicles do not descend, with implications for sperm production being hot enough to compromise germline DNA replication/repair.
Illegal wildlife trade has reached alarming levels globally, extirpating populations of commercially valuable species.
Social structure is proposed to influence the transmission of both directly and environmentally transmitted infectious agents.
This study investigates the ranging behavior of elephants in relation to precipitation-driven dynamics of vegetation.
The impacts of increasing resource extraction on biodiversity in the Central African rainforest are largely unknown, in part due to the lack of baseline data on species occurrence across the basin.
The expansion of global communication networks and advances in animal tracking technology make possible the real-time telemetry of positional data as recorded by animal-attached tracking units.
We present a new animal space-use model (Elliptical Time-Density - ETD) that uses discrete-time tracking data collected in wildlife movement studies.
The Chinese ivory industry has been expanding tremendously, especially in the last five years. Illegal ivory imports are the largest in the world by weight and have been soaring.
Individual identification of the relatively cryptic forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) at forest clearings currently provides the highest quality monitoring data on this ecologically important but increasingly threatened species.
Natural forest clearings (bais) in the Central African rain forest attract large numbers of mammals. Little is known about the factors influencing bai use by forest species, though geophagy and hydro-mineral resources are assumed to be important attractan
This paper updates the data on the population status of elephants in the Tsavo–Mkomazi ecosystem. Data were acquired through aerial census of elephants in the ecosystem, from 7 to 12 February 2011.
