Generation and characterization of antibodies against Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) IgG, IgM, and IgA. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) immunity is poorly characterized and understood. This gap in knowledge is particularly concerning as Asian elephants are an endangered species threatened by a newly discovered herpesvirus known as elephant ...

An Asian Elephant Imitates Human Speech [PDF]
Current Biology, 2012 Vocal imitation has convergently evolved in many species, allowing learning and cultural transmission of complex, conspecific sounds, as in birdsong. Scattered instances also exist of vocal imitation across species, including mockingbirds imitating other species or parrots and mynahs producing human speech.

SIMULTANEOUS VISUAL DISCRIMINATION IN ASIAN ELEPHANTS [PDF]
Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2005 Two experiments explored the behavior of 20 Asian elephants (Elephas aximus) in simultaneous visual discrimination tasks. In Experiment 1, 7 Burmese logging elephants acquired a white+/black- discrimination, reaching criterion in a mean of 2.6 sessions and 117 discrete trials, whereas 4 elephants acquired a black+/white- discrimination in 5.3 sessions ...

Seed dispersal potential of Asian elephants [PDF]
Acta Oecologica, 2016 Elephants, the largest terrestrial mega-herbivores, play an important ecological role in maintaining forest ecosystem diversity. While several plant species strongly rely on African elephants (Loxodonta africana; L. cyclotis) as seed dispersers, little is known about the dispersal potential of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus).

Summation by Asian Elephants (Elephas maximus) [PDF]
Behavioral Sciences, 2012 Recent empirical evidence for complex cognition in elephants suggests that greater attention to comparative studies between non-human primates and other animals is warranted. We have previously shown that elephants possess the ability to judge the difference between two discrete quantities, and unlike other animals, their choice does not appear to be ...

Mapping potential human-elephant conflict hotspots with UAV monitoring data
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Human–elephant conflicts (HECs) threaten both elephants and humans globally. Many modern techniques have been adopted to mitigate HECs, including remote sensing with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
