We obtained fresh dung samples from 202 (133 mother-offspring pairs) savannah elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Samburu, Kenya, and genotyped them at 20 microsatellite loci to assess genotyping success and errors.
The count was conducted under the auspices of Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT) jointly funded by NRT, African Wildlife Foundation, Disney Foundation and Save the Elephants.
In this paper, we present a new method for estimating elephant densities by counting elephant wells and dung boli within dry seasonal ooding rivers.
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.
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.
Private nature reserves and adjoining large national parks such as the 2.2 million ha Kruger National Park (KNP) in South Africa, not only need to function as integrated ecological units but also need to be financially viable to support efficient manageme
Wilderness and Human Communities. Proceedings from the 7th World Wilderness Congress 2004 The African wilderness, for me, isepitomized by elephants, so let us consider wilderness from an elephant's point of view.
