The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Adolescence in male African elephants, Loxodonta africana, and the importance of sociality (2008, unknown): “These problems are thought to arise because the young males come into musth prematurely (Slotow et al. 2000), which is normally suppressed by older bulls ( Rasmussen & Krishnamurthy 2000; Slotow et al. 2000).”
How Elephants are Opening Doors: Developmental Neuroethology, Attachment and Social Context (2007, background): “…are behaviours associated with extremely elevated states of central and autonomic arousal when sensory processing abilities become impaired and induce an inability to differentiate species-specific sexual signals from intraspecies aggressive pheromone signals (Rasmussen & Krishnamurthy 2000).”
Synergy between visual and olfactory cues in nectar feeding by naı̈ve hawkmoths, Manduca sexta (2002, unknown): “For example, elephants signal a state of musth using infrasonic, olfactory and visual signals that function in complementary or redundant ways, depending upon distance (Poole 1999; Rasmussen & Krishnamurthy 2000).”
Elephant cognition in primate perspective (2009, background): “Sources of odours used in chemical communication between elephants include urine, faeces, saliva and secretions from the temporal gland, a large multi-lobed sac with an orifice mid-way between the ear and eye (Langbauer, 2000; Rasmussen & Krishnamurthy, 2000).”
