A brief review of the status, distribution and biology of wild Asian elephants Elephas maximus (2006, background): “Studies of genetic relatedness have confirmed that adult cows within a family unit are closely related to one another (Vidya & Sukumar, 2005).”
Association patterns of African elephants in all-male groups: the role of age and genetic relatedness (2011, result): “Although this result was weak, it supports recent findings of philopatry in Asian elephants, Elephas maximus; males using the same area have been observed to bemore genetically similar than predicted by chance (Vidya & Sukumar 2005).”
A Comparison of Social Organization in Asian Elephants and African Savannah Elephants (2012, background): “Males disperse on reaching adulthood, but females and calves are usually found in small groups (de Silva et al. 2011a; Eisenberg et al. 1990; Fernando and Lande 2000; Vidya and Sukumar 2005).”
