Changes in home range size of African lions in relation to pride size and prey biomass in a semi‐arid savanna
AJ Loveridge, M Valeix, Z Davidson… - …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Within‐population studies are needed to investigate the extent of, and the factors underlying,
intraspecific variation in home range size. We used data from 12 female and 8 male adult …

Resource variability, aggregation and direct density dependence in an open context: the local regulation of an African elephant population
Summary 1 An emerging perspective in the study of density dependence is the importance
of the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of resources. Although this is well understood in …

[HTML][HTML] Local elephant movements, turning angles, and water access across a rainfall gradient in Southern Africa
In the wet season of southern Africa's savannahs, surface water is extensive, allowing
elephants to move widely. However, when surface water is restricted in the dry season …

The affects of artificial water availability on large herbivore ranging patterns in savanna habitats: a new approach based on modelling elephant path distributions
Aim Artificial water points are often used in protected savanna ecosystems to maintain
populations of large herbivores. However, these interventions lead to increased ranging and …
