Impacts of Human Development on Wildlife Use of Corridors in Botswana 人类开发对博茨瓦纳野生动物廊道利用的影响

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 164-171, March 2026.
This study examined the effect of landscape‐scale human impact on wildlife in Botswana. We examined how species use wildlife corridors in two different human‐dominated landscapes. We identified differences in temporal overlap between wildlife and humans across both landscapes, which is fundamental to consider in both current and future conservation ...

Using camera traps to study the age–sex structure and behaviour of crop-using elephants Loxodonta africana in Udzungwa Mountains National Park, Tanzania

open access: yesOryx, 2017
Crop losses to foraging elephants are one of the primary obstacles to the coexistence of elephants and people. Understanding whether some individuals in a population are more likely to forage on crops, and the temporal patterns of elephant visits to ...

Determinants of seasonal changes in availability of food patches for elephants (Loxodonta africana) in a semi-arid African savanna

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
Loss of biodiversity caused by impact of elephants (Loxodonta africana) on African woodlands may require a management response, but any action should be based on an understanding of why elephants choose to utilise trees destructively.

Gait development in African elephant calves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Most descriptions of elephant locomotion recognize only one gait: the lateral sequence walk. In contrast, several studies on African elephants (Loxodonta africana) have indicated that elephants use at least two other gaits: an amble and a trot.

Elephant-Initiated Interactions with Humans: Individual Differences and Specific Preferences in Captive African Elephants (Loxodonta africana)

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2017
South Africa has seen a recent increase in the number of African elephants (Loxodonta africana) maintained in reserves and parks and managed in free contact, where they may spend a significant amount of time in close proximity to humans.

Preliminary data on forest elephants (Loxodonta africana cyclotis) in southwestern Nigeria

open access: yesPachyderm, 2009
Elephant numbers in Nigeria have decreased greatly and the rate of this decline cannot be established owing to the insufficiency of available data. The number of forest elephants in particular is especially difficult to determine because of the dense ...
