Predicting range shifts of Asian elephants under global change (2019, methodology): “Using a moving window with a 9.4 km radius (i.e., average home range 278 km2; Fernando et al., 2008), this tool identified highly suitable (>0.64) habitat patches in the study area (Supporting information Appendix S4).”
Megagardeners of the forest - the role of elephants in seed dispersal (2011, background): “This is particularly important in the case of dispersers that, like elephants, occur at low densities and can take many months to cover their home ranges (Fernando et al., 2008).”
A Comparison of Social Organization in Asian Elephants and African Savannah Elephants (2012, background): “The species uses a wide range of tropical habitats with seasonal rainfall and is a generalist that occupies a similar niche to African elephants as the largest herbivore in its environment (Campos-Arceiz and Blake 2011; Campos-Arceiz et al. 2008; Fernando et al. 2008; Leimgruber et al. 2003).”
