Dominance rank relationships among wild female African elephants, Loxodonta africana (2006, methodology): “In Amboseli, adults were those who had given birth at least once (mean age at first birth Z 14.1 years; Moss 2001); in Tarangire, adults were at least 10 years old.”
Association patterns of African elephants in all-male groups: the role of age and genetic relatedness (2011, background): “All age estimations are validated from long-term observations of growth and body shape, as well as from ages based on tooth wear and replacement when dead (Moss 2001).”
Quantifying the effects of prey abundance on killer whale reproduction (2009, background): “…pattern of early improvement and subsequent decline in fecundity of killer whales is consistent with the patterns observed in other mammals, including roe deer Capreolus capreolus (Hewison & Gaillard 2001), elephants Loxodonta africana (Moss 2001), grey seals Halichoerus grypus (Bowen et al .”
The fast life of a dwarfed giant (2003, background): “, 1985; Waser, 1996; Berger and Gompper, 1999) and elephants in particular (Moss, 2001; Wittemeyer, 2001).”
Demography and population dynamics in the elephants Loxodonta africana of Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa: is there evidence of density dependent regulation? (2006, methodology): “This probably explains the extremely low calf and juvenile mortality rates found in the Park compared to other populations, e.g. 4% for 0–1 years compared to 10% (Moss, 2001) and 1.0% for 0–9 years compared to 10% (Laws & Parker, 1968; Douglas-Hamilton, 1972).”
Assessing translocation outcome: Comparing behavioral and physiological aspects of translocated and resident African elephants (Loxodonta africana) (2009, positive): “Since elephant calves suckle until the age of four and are highly dependent on their mothers, a female that is seen without her calf strongly suggests that the calf is dead (Moss, 2001).”
Hierarchical dominance structure and social organization in African elephants, Loxodonta africana (2007, methodology): “Age estimates of elephants were conducted using well-established techniques developed on known-aged individuals ( Moss 1996, 2001 ).”
Do Elephants Show Empathy (2008, background): “During this time, over 2200 elephants have been identified and named (Moss, 2001) and at December 2006 the population stood at 1434 living elephants, divided into fifty-eight family units, with approximately 300 independent males.”
The socioecology of elephants: analysis of the processes creating multitiered social structures (2005, methodology): “Elephant reproductive intervals are generally between 3.6 and 4.8 years (Moss 2001; Foley 2002).”
Social organization of the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) in southern India inferred from microsatellite DNA (2005, background): “…African savannah elephant (Loxodonta africana africana) for which at least one population (at Amboseli, Kenya) has been under long-term observation (Moss 2001), social organization of the endangered Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) has been little studied (see Sukumar 1989; Baskaran 1998; Fernando…”
Herbivore Dynamics and Range Contraction in Kajiado County Kenya: Climate and Land Use Changes, Population Pressures, Governance, Policy and Human-wildlife Conflicts (2014, background): “Kilimanjaro and Chyulu Hills (Moss 2001) in the south east to 800 mm in Nairobi Park and 971 mm at Ngong hills in the northwest.”
Breeding phenology in relation to NDVI variability in free‐ranging African elephant (2007, methodology): “It is interesting, however, that recruitment rates in African elephant populations have been shown to vary widely across years, resulting in cyclic patterns in age distribution (Douglas-Hamilton 1972, Laws et al. 1975, Moss 2001).”
