• Thinking with their trunks: elephants use smell but not sound to locate food and exclude nonrewarding alternatives (2014, background): “, 2012), andprobablyuseolfaction when identifying food and water sources from great distances (e.g. Gaalema, Perdue, & Kelling, 2011; Poole, 1996; Sukumar, 2003).”
• Social organization of the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) in southern India inferred from microsatellite DNA (2005, background): “…and Johnsingh 1995), it has not been clear whether they move away from their natal range (locational dispersal) (Desai and Johnsingh 1995) or whether they remain in their natal range and move long distances only to mate (social dispersal) (Fernando and Lande, unpublished data in Sukumar 2003).”
• Sinking the Flagship: the Case of Forest Elephants in Asia and Africa (2004, background): “This former range covered over 9 million km2 (Sukumar 2003).”
• The Impact of Hunting on the Mammalian Fauna of Tropical Asian Forests (2007, background): “The expansion of human populations has everywhere resulted in a corresponding decline in elephant distributions, a process that started at least 5000 yr ago in China (Elvin 2004) and continues today in Sumatra, Sri Lanka and elsewhere (e.g., Hedges et al. 2005).”
• Understanding spatial and temporal patterns of human–elephant conflict in Assam, India (2013, background): “10% of the estimated global wild Asian elephant population (Sukumar, 2003).”
• Megagardeners of the forest - the role of elephants in seed dispersal (2011, background): “Asian elephants had a historical range that included West Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia (including Sumatra, Java, and probably Borneo), and China as far North as the Yangtze river (Sukumar, 2003).”
