Fossil proboscidean remains from Bolt's Farm and other Transvaal cave breccias [PDF]
Proboscidean remains are very rare in the Transvaal cave breccias and the few specimens recovered are generally fragmentary but deserve description because of their potential value in correlation and dating.

A case for human mobility data applications in wildlife management
Human mobility data provides a transformative tool for wildlife management by offering scalable, dynamic insights into human activity that traditional methods cannot fully capture. These data enable managers to prioritize intervention areas, improve compliance with management zones, mitigate conflict risks, and enhance connectivity for sensitive ...

Gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) are determining factors in the health of Asian Elephants. The current coproscopic study recorded 95.2% prevalence rates with 19 different GIPs from these animals. The major risk factors could be overlapping niches with domestic and wild animals, irregular medication and the existence of critical stressors. .

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

ABSTRACT The African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis), a critically endangered species, is a megaherbivore that browses and transforms large quantities and varieties of vegetation during its foraging activities and movements. However, the cascading effects of this ‘ecosystem engineer’ on animal biodiversity are poorly known. In this study, based on
