Description of the skull, braincase, and dentition of Moschognathus whaitsi (Dinocephalia, Tapinocephalia), and its palaeobiological and behavioral implications

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1713-1748, July 2026.
Abstract A subadult Moschognathus whaitsi from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, was scanned using synchrotron radiation X‐ray computed tomography (SRXCT). Its subadult state allowed the cranial bones and teeth to be identified and individually reconstructed in 3D.

A Multi‐Factor Habitat Suitability Model for Asian Elephants in the Greater Mekong Subregion: Effects of Vegetation and Climate

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study assessed the combined effects of climate change and vegetation factors on the habitat suitability of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in the Greater Mekong Subregion. By integrating MaxEnt modeling with structural equation modeling, we identified plant distribution as a key determinant of elephant habitat selection under future climate ...

Determinants of Seasonal Elephant Habitat Use in Small and Enclosed Conservation Area: Mwea National Reserve, Kenya

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study investigated the drivers of seasonal habitat use by African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) in the fenced Mwea National Reserve, using dung‐based surveys and MaxEnt models. Results showed that water and forage availability primarily shaped dry‐season distribution, while boundary effects were more influential in the wet season, with ...
