Elephant habituation to drones as a behavioural observation tool [PDF]
Scientific ReportsUnmanned Aerial Vehicles, known as UAVs or drones, are increasingly important as a tool in wildlife research and conservation. However, it is crucial to quantify as well as qualify the response of target species to drones.

Animals, 2021 The introduction of elephants into new groups is necessary for breeding programmes. However, behavioural studies on the reactions of these animals at first encounters are missing. In the present study, female African elephants (Loxodonta africana) living

Elephant Driven Changes in Riverine Tree Density Exacerbated by Biological Infestation in Samburu and Buffalo Springs National Reserves, Kenya [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAfrican elephants (Loxodonta africana ) can profoundly impact the ecosystems in which they live and, therefore, are considered ecosystem engineers. Elephants break, push over, uproot, and de‐bark woody plants, which can threaten the survival of some tree

Release From Captivity Allows African Savannah Elephant Movement Patterns to Converge With Those of Wild and Rehabilitated Conspecifics [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionRewilding captive animals is an important strategy for rehabilitating individuals and ecosystems. Comparing the behaviors of released animals to their wild counterparts enables the evaluation of their adaptive response to new environments, assuming that ...

Pachyderm, 2022 The value of art in Science is undisputed. From DaVinci’s drawings came a plethora of inventions, most notable is arguably his “aerial screw” which is highly suggestive of the helicopter we know today (Da Vinci, 1894), and the night skies of Charles ...

Only aggressive elephants are fast elephants [PDF]
Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment, 2012 Yellow elephants are slow. A major reason is that they consume their inputs entirely before responding to an elephant rider's orders. Some clever riders have trained their yellow elephants to only consume parts of the inputs before responding. However, the teaching time to make an elephant do that is high. So high that the teaching lessons often do not

The elephant in the room [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2012 Models for out-of-hours coverage of intensive care units (ICUs) post-cardiac surgery vary widely across Europe and the world. In the UK and in the major units in the USA, where there are high volume units, there tend to be a high number of trainees or middle grades who are able to provide 24-h resident coverage to the ICU and the wards.

Developing a user-centred system for long-term elephant monitoring
Pachyderm, 2022 Originally envisaged as a three-year project, the Amboseli Elephant Research Project (AERP) has proved a labour of love for a small, dedicated team who have followed the life trajectories of more than 3,900 individual elephants over five decades. AERP’s
