Elephant seasonal vegetation preferences across dry and wet savannas (2009, background): “These long treks to find food at the end of the dry seasons likely kill many young elephants (Dudley et al., 2001; Loveridge et al., 2006; Van Aarde et al., 2008).”
Assessing translocation outcome: Comparing behavioral and physiological aspects of translocated and resident African elephants (Loxodonta africana) (2009, unknown): “…possible, although less likely, that the observed poor condition of the translocated females' mammary glands resulted from calf poaching or predation because calves are not poaching targets due to their small tusks, and because predation by lions is very rare in elephants (Loveridge et al., 2006).”
Collapse of the world’s largest herbivores (2015, unknown): “Indeed, even the megaherbivores (≥1000 kg) such as elephants are not immune to predation (45), because their juveniles are within the size range preferred by some large carnivores (46).”
Patchwork planet: the resource dispersion hypothesis, society, and the ecology of life (2015, background): “Comparing areas in which dry season waterholes were less, or more, widely dispersed, Valenzuela & Macdonald (2002) found that the average seasonal home-range sizes, which varied between 45 and 352 ha, of white-nosed coatis in Mexican tropical dry forests were determined by the dispersion of water so”
Influence of immediate predation risk by lions on the vigilance of prey of different body size (2012, background): “5% (Loveridge et al. 2006) while both species are approximately equally abundant in the study area (1.”
