Monitoring African Megafauna in an Anthropogenic Landscape: A 15‐Year Case Study of the Vulnerable West African Giraffe

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 235-248, June 2026.
We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...

Social learning in captive adult African elephants (Loxodonta africana africana)

open access: yes, 2014
Little is known about the ways in which elephants solve novel foraging problems or how conspecifics may influence problem solving. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that social learning may play an important role in elephant behavioral ecology.

The Distribution and Quality of Elephant Food Plants in Mwea National Reserve‐Kenya

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how herbivores respond to spatial and temporal resource variability is a central aspect of resource use ecology. This 18‐month study examined how seasonal changes in food plants availability, distribution and nutritional quality influence the foraging behaviour of African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Mwea National ...

International cooperation and conflict in a social‐ecological system: A study of mountain gorillas as a common pool resource

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
Mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) are found only in transboundary habitat shared by the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda, and are considered as a common pool resource (CPR). From 1990 to 2022, the social‐ecological system was affected by an increase in the number and value of mountain gorilla groups and the number of actors.

Shedding light on the dark: Does artificial illumination affect mammal activity at waterholes in sub‐Saharan Africa?

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
We experimentally evaluated the effects of artificial lighting on mammal visitation patterns at waterholes in north‐central Namibia using motion‐activated camera traps across two dry seasons. Lighting had minimal effects on most species, although gemsboks increased use of artificially lit waterholes and lions reduced nocturnal activity at illuminated ...

Factors affecting detection probability of elephant (Loxodonta africana) carcasses in an African conservation area

open access: yes, 2019
Poaching for ivory has led to massive population declines of African savannah elephants (Loxodonta africana). To prioritize anti-poaching efforts, elephant poaching hotspot maps were created.

Hyperprolactinemia and ovarian acyclicity in captive African elephant females (Loxodonta africana)

open access: yes, 2015
African elephants (Loxodonta africana) face many threats to their long – term survival in range countries. The species is considered “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), as “vulnerable” by the International Union for the Conservation of ...
