Functional connectivity within conservation networks: Delineating corridors for African elephants (2013, background): “Blanc et al. (2007) suggested that elephants’ range possibly extended east of Etosha and north into Angola.”
Assessing translocation outcome: Comparing behavioral and physiological aspects of translocated and resident African elephants (Loxodonta africana) (2009, unknown): “, 2007)) while Shimba Hills contains a small elephant population (approximately 600 individuals (Blanc et al., 2007)).”
The movement of African elephants in a human‐dominated land‐use mosaic (2009, background): “First, elephants are a species of conservation concern, with numbers reduced dramatically over the last 100 years so that they now form a highly discontinuous population (Blanc et al., 2007).”
Biodiversity and extinction (2007, unknown): “…in early 1800s, 210,000 at present; Isenberg, 2000), blackbuck Antilope cervicapra (4 million individuals in the 1800s, 80,000 in 1947, 8000 in 1964; Nowak, 1991), and African elephant Loxodonta africana (1.3 million individuals in late 1970s, 660,000 at present; Nowak, 1991; Blanc et al., 2003).”
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.”
The affects of artificial water availability on large herbivore ranging patterns in savanna habitats: a new approach based on modelling elephant path distributions (2009, background): “…particularly pertinent in the debate over the management and conservation of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) (Owen-Smith et al., 2006), as a significant number of populations are restricted to PAs through habitat loss, human–elephant conflict, poaching and/or fencing (Blanc et al., 2007).”
Forest Elephants: Tree Planters of the Congo (2009, background): “…focused on topdown control of herbivores by carnivores (Terborgh 1992), the role of large vertebrates in the regeneration of plant communities (particularly as seed dispersers) has recently dominated the debate (Janzen 1986, Chapman & Onderdonk 1998, Nunez-Iturri & Howe 2007, Wright et al. 2007).”
Habitat Suitability Models and the Shortfall in Conservation Planning for African Vertebrates (2005, background): “…the literature and experts in the framework of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) Global Amphibian Assessment and IUCN Conservation Biology Volume 19, No. 5, October 2005 Global Mammal Assessment, building on an existing data bank on African large and medium-size mammals (Boitani et al. 1999).”
