Elephant Rewilding Indirectly Affects Rodent Site‐Use and Behavior by Moderating Coarse Woody Debris Density

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Megaherbivores such as African savannah elephants are ecosystem engineers that modify vegetation structure, yet the cascading effects of these changes on smaller fauna remain poorly understood. We examined how elephant rewilding affected coarse woody debris (CWD) density and the behavior of the Natal multimammate mouse in lowveld savannah, South Africa,

Testing the Dry Refuge Model: Paleoecological Insights From Late Pleistocene Gomphotheres in Ecuador

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We present paleontological evidence that may prove the Dry Refuge Model in Ecuador during the Late Pleistocene. ABSTRACT Paleoenvironmental records indicate that Neotropical regions near the Equator experienced reduced rainfall during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). However, some records show conflicting environmental signals.

Tree Climbing in African Lions and Leopards

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Tree climbing has been documented in most felids, but patterns, correlates, and possible functions of this behaviour are not well documented for all species, including the African lion. Using a comparative behavioural ecology approach and drawing on opportunistic field observations from multiple sites in northern Tanzania, I used Bayesian ...

A landscape framework for human‐elephant coexistence

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
The landscape coexistence framework is a transferable structure based on three phases: building knowledge, constructing the framework, and collaborative planning. These phases guide the achievements of three goals: supporting elephants, supporting villagers, and differentiating their respective territories.

ELEPHANT GRASS-GLASS FIBER HYBRID COMPOSITES

International Journal of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, 2014
An attempt has been made in the present work to explore and the possible use of variety of cultivated/wild grown fiber in the development of elephant grass–glass fiber reinforced polyester hybrid composites. The fiber is extracted from retting and manual method, and the test specimens are prepared as per “ASTM”standards.

Forage mass and stocking rate of elephant grass pastures managed under agroecological and conventional systems

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2014
The objective was to evaluate elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) pastures, under the agroecological and conventional systems, as forage mass and stocking rate. In the agroecological system, the elephant grass was established in rows spaced by 3.

Degradation of elephant grass silages with annatto by-product

, 2022
To evaluate the dry matter, neutral detergent fiber and crude protein in situ degradation of elephant grass silages with five levels (0; 4; 8; 12 and 16%, on a fresh matter basis) of annatto grain by-product (AGBP), this work was carried out. A split-plot design, consisting on the addition levels the plots and the incubation times the sub-plots, with ...
