Functional connectivity within conservation networks: Delineating corridors for African elephants (2013, background): “study, elephant dispersal along the east-west gradient is plausible across much of our study area; therefore, if corridors are projected and enhanced, the foundations for a metapopulation as suggested in van Aarde and Jackson (2007) could be implemented.”
Fencing solves human‐wildlife conflict locally but shifts problems elsewhere: A case study using functional connectivity modelling of the African elephant (2018, background): “However, there are many uncertainties related to these approaches, and some of the long- term maintenance- related costs are comparable with those of electric fences (Grant et al., 2008).”
Elephant seasonal vegetation preferences across dry and wet savannas (2009, background): “As a result, there has been increasing concerns over the detrimental effects of localized elephant impacts on vegetation and biodiversity (Cumming et al., 1997; Kerley et al., 2008).”
