Introduction and background This joint report by Save the Elephants and Kenya Wildlife Service summarizes preliminary findings of a long-term study on the effects of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), the Mombasa - Nairobi highway, the Voi - Taveta highway
Accelerometers can be used to monitor animal behavior remotely, but validation is required for each species. Previously, we showed that accelerometer data in collars could be used to identify specific behaviors in African elephants Loxodonta africana, usi
Connectivity within populations affects important ecological and evolutionary processes like gene flow, disease dynamics, and cultural exchange (Noad et al., 2000; McCallum & Dobson, 2002; Epps et al., 2005).
Balancing conservation and infrastructure developmentConserving land and ecosystem connectivity for wildlife is increasingly a global challenge as demand for infrastructure development to meet growing human population needs encroaches in many traditional
Understanding the spatial structuring of animal behaviors and how they link landscapes can be critical for conservation management.
Network resilience to perturbation is fundamental to functionality in systems ranging from synthetic communication networks to evolved social organization.
Levels and trends of illegal killing of elephants are measured by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) Monitoring the Illegal Killing of Elephants (MIKE) programme in sites across Africa and Asia.
The drivers of social affiliation may vary over time as individuals change their goals with respect to changing environments or physical condition.
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.
