Above-ground thermonuclear weapons testing from 1952 through 1962 nearly doubled the concentration of radiocarbon (14C) in the atmosphere. As a result, organic material formed during or after this period may be radiocarbon-dated using the abrupt rise and

The study was conducted to assess the technical feasibility of studying the spatial and temporal interaction of traditionally herded livestock and wildlife using global positioning system (GPS) tracking technology in Northern Kenya.

African forest elephants – taxonomically and functionally unique–are being poached at accelerating rates, but we lack range-wide information on the repercussions.

Knowledge of population processes across various ecological and management settings offers important insights for species conservation and life history.

Adaptive movement behaviors allow individuals to respond to fluctuations in resource quality and distribution in order to maintain fitness.

Accelerometers are motion-detection devices that, when attached to animals, are capable of detecting body orientation, overall activity levels, and specific behavior patterns.

The narrative of Fortress Conservation was based on strategies dominated by attempts to reserve places for nature, to separate humans from nature, and to prevent consumptive use or other forms of human impact.

Wide-ranging, landscape-level movements by terrestrial herbivores are increasingly threatened globally. Understanding the ecology of spatio-temporal movement patterns is critical for conservation of wide-ranging terrestrial species and the ecosystems on w

Mr. Chairman, Mr. Ranking Member, and members of the Committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today.

Asian and African elephant species have diverged by ca. 6 million years, but as large, generalist herbivores they occupy similar niches in their respective environments.
