- Taking the Elephants' Perspective: Remembering Elephant Behavior, Cognition and Ecology in Human-Elephant Conflict Mitigation (2018, background): “These data would not be focused simply on the animal’s life history stage or sex alone— such as when dispersing adolescent males show a propensity to crop forage or raid (Sukumar and Gadgil, 1988; Rode et al., 2006; Chiyo et al., 2011, 2012)—but would also take into account the size, mortality risk,”
- No risk, no gain: effects of crop-raiding and genetic diversity on body size in male elephants (2011, background): “On the other hand, crop raiding offers high nutritional returns compared with foraging on wild plants (Sukumar 1990; Rode et al. 2006), and raiders can obtain 38% of their daily forage intake in 10% of their foraging time while raiding crops compared with foraging on wild plants (Chiyo and Cochrane ”
- Nutritional composition of the diet of the gorilla (Gorilla beringei): a comparison between two montane habitats (2007, background): “For example, in Kibale National Park forest elephants ate a diet of 22% CP (Rode et al. 2006), which is quite high compared to their estimated requirements, while another nearby population of elephants ate a diet of 13% CP (Jachmann 1989).”
- Primate Crop Feeding Behavior, Crop Protection, and Conservation (2017, background): “Nutritional analysis of wild and crop foods eaten by elephants in Kibale National Park, Uganda, showed that crop foods had higher sodium, and reduced levels of fiber and secondary compounds as compared with wild foods eaten by elephants (Rode et al. 2006).”
