Ecological corridors enhance adaptation success of translocated conflict elephants: A case study of a sub‐adult male in Hulu Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Human–elephant conflict (HEC), a common conflict between human and wildlife, is increasing in occurrence. To mitigate HEC, the typical final option is the translocation of conflict elephants into better‐protected areas.

Addressing human–elephant conflicts in Taita Taveta County, Kenya: Integrating species distribution modeling into targeted conservation strategies

Global Ecology and Conservation
Increasing competition for space and resources at the agriculture-conservation interface poses critical challenges to wildlife conservation, often intensifying human–wildlife conflicts throughout the globe, including Kenya.

Poverty, Poaching and Trafficking: What are the links? [PDF]

, 2013
A rapid review of academic and grey literature revealed that the links between poverty, poaching and trafficking are under-researched and poorly understood.

Morphometric analysis of postnatal lung development in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica): An ultrastructural study

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract An ultrastructural morphometric analysis of the postnatal development of the lung in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been conducted to evaluate the morphofunctional status of this poorly developed marsupial lung immediately following parturition.

Chairman's report: African Elephant Specialist Group

Pachyderm, 1993
Notes that the funding for conservation and management is inadequate and since it appears that poaching has returned in some area and the human/elephant conflict is increasing throughout the range states work must be maintained and augmented.

The sensory ecology of fear: African elephants show aversion to olfactory predator signals

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
Human–elephant conflict is a persistent problem across elephant home ranges, that results in economic damage to commercial and subsistence farmers, and physical harm and death to humans and elephants.

Probing the Complexities of Actual and Perceived Levels of Human-Elephant Conflict in the Okavango, Botswana

Diversity, 2023
People’s perception of the conflict they are experiencing with wildlife is a major factor in determining the extent of human-elephant conflict (HEC) occurring and needs to be considered when devising HEC management strategies.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned
