Limited elephant impacts on baobabs despite increasing elephant densities in a newly established protected area

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Researchers combined aerial and ground surveys to map baobab distribution and assess elephant herbivory impacts on baobabs across Karingani Game Reserve, Mozambique. Researchers found that aerial surveys were an effective tool for mapping baobabs and that baobabs were more likely to occur closer to permanent water, at lower elevations, and in areas ...

The need for clarity in species conservation objectives

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Identifying sensible conservation objectives should probably be easiest when planning an investment portfolio designed for a single species. However, focusing on African Elephant conservation, we show that optimal investment differs substantially depending on relatively small differences in objectives, that recent allocation was rarely the most ...

Wildebeest movement responses to electric conservation fencing in the African Savannah ecosystem

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
These findings provide GPS‐based empirical evidence of how a newly constructed electric conservation fence alters migratory wildebeests, and show that effects are context‐dependent across habitat type, time of day, and distance to the boundary. While such fences can reduce human–wildlife conflict and support conservation goals, they must be carefully ...

Translocation of livestock‐raiding lions under specific conditions can mitigate conflict

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Human‐wildlife conflict is a pervasive threat that imperils many carnivore species worldwide, and although translocation is often used as a conflict mitigation strategy, it is widely regarded as ineffective. Here, we demonstrate that careful selection of suitable release sites can improve outcomes, as 80% of stock‐raiding lion translocations in ...

The influence of the African Elephant on the vegetation of the Addo Elephant National Park

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 1974
An increasing elephant Loxodonta africana population has been confined to a 2 770 ha enclosure since 1954. When compared to the vegetation adjacent to the enclosure, the plant biomass within has been reduced by more than one half.

Performance of protected areas in conserving African elephants

Conservation Letters
Protected areas have been gazetted to protect natural resources and biodiversity, but evaluations of effectiveness rarely include measures of species population change. We compiled annual site‐level spending and elephant population data for 102 protected

Evaluation of a Point‐of‐Care Viscoelastic Coagulation Monitor (VCM Vet) and Thromboelastography (TEG) in Bonobos (Pan paniscus)

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Bonobos (Pan paniscus) are endangered and uncommon in managed care. Prothrombotic and hypofibrinolytic states are encountered with cardiovascular disease, ischemic stroke, and neoplasia. Materials and Methods Twelve bonobos from one institution were evaluated during anesthetized exams.
