Resolution of the type material of the Asian elephant, Elephas maximus Linnaeus, 1758 (Proboscidea, Elephantidae) [PDF]

, 2014
The understanding of Earth’s biodiversity depends critically on the accurate identification and nomenclature of species. Many species were described centuries ago, and in a surprising number of cases their nomenclature or type material remain unclear ...

A novel antigen capture ELISA for the specific detection of IgG antibodies to elephant endotheliotropic herpes virus [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND Elephants are classified as critically endangered animals by the International Union for Conservation of Species (IUCN). Elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) poses a large threat to breeding programs of captive Asian elephants by ...

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 ...

Assessing the impact of climate change on the spatio-temporal distribution of foot-and-mouth disease risk for elephants

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Elephants are the largest extant terrestrial animals and are important for maintaining regional ecosystem balance and community diversity. However, poaching, population growth, habitat fragmentation, and viruses are major threats to global elephant ...

A Framework for Bioacoustic Vocalization Analysis Using Hidden Markov Models [PDF]

, 2009
Using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) as a recognition framework for automatic classification of animal vocalizations has a number of benefits, including the ability to handle duration variability through nonlinear time alignment, the ability to incorporate ...

Fecal Metagenomics Study Reveals That a Low-Fiber Diet Drives the Migration of Wild Asian Elephants in Xishuangbanna, China

Animals, 2023
The rare northward migration of wild Asian elephants in Xishuangbanna, China, has attracted global attention. Elephant migration is a complex ecological process, and the factors driving this long-distance migration remain elusive.

Skeletal pathology and variable anatomy in elephant feet assessed using computed tomography [PDF]

, 2017
Foot problems are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in elephants, but are underreported due to difficulties in diagnosis, particularly of conditions affecting the bones and internal structures. Here we evaluate post-mortem computer tomographic (CT)

Regional variation in digital cushion pressure in the forefeet of horses and elephants [PDF]

, 2014
In this study, we seek to understand how the digital cushion morphologies evident in horse and elephant feet influence internal and external foot pressures.

Seasonal variation of health in Asian elephants

Conservation Physiology, 2020
AbstractLong-lived species are often predicted to be buffered against seasonal variation: longevity means low annual mortality and reproductive rates and annual variability in climate may therefore have a smaller impact on population growth rates of long-lived species in comparison to short-lived ones.
