Characterizing properties and drivers of long distance movements by elephants (Loxodonta africana) in the Gourma, Mali (2013, background): “Here, we provide an analysis focused on addressing these questions of one of the planet’s widest-ranging terrestrial movement systems; that of desert-adapted African elephants (Loxodonta africana) living in the Gourma region of Mali.”
Elephant seasonal vegetation preferences across dry and wet savannas (2009, result): “Our results are consistent with other studies that show the importance of variable vegetation in the wet season (Young et al., 2009).”
The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI): unforeseen successes in animal ecology (2011, background): “However, the large-scale spatial variability in NDVI values depend to a large extent on interactions between local variation in soil types, terrain morphology, and macro-gradients such as latitude, elevation, elevational rain shadows, or continental vs. oceanic influences (Zhang et al. 2009).”
