1. 1. African elephants' effect on the temporal use of elephant highway by predator and prey. Makgadikgadi Pans National Park.

   Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Författare :Rebecka Relfsson; [2023-08-18]
   Nyckelord :African savanna elephant; elephant highways; interspecies interactions; predation avoidance; predator-prey interaction; temporal activity;

   Sammanfattning : African savanna elephants (Loxondonta africana) are the world’s largest land-mammal and are considered a keystone species. The effect they have on vegetation and their environment is well known, but their effect on other animal species is less studied. LÄS MER

3. 2. Elephants and aboveground carbon stocks in a South African protected savanna

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

   Författare :Camille Cheyenne Schröcker; [2022]
   Nyckelord :above-ground carbon stocks; climate change mitigation; elephant impacts; megaherbivores; conservation; wood density;

   Sammanfattning : Savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) are known to exert transforming impacts on the vegetation. Due to these impacts, one would expect elephants to have significant effects on aboveground carbon stocks. However, we still know relatively little about the magnitude and direction of the effects of elephants on aboveground carbon stocks. LÄS MER

4. 3. The elephant in the room - use of enclosure and activity budget of a group of African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) in a Swedish zoo

   Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

   Författare :Maria Grüneberger; [2018]
   Nyckelord :African elephant; behaviour; activity budget; use of enclosure; novel environment; animal management; Loxodonta africana; zoological institution; Scandinavia;

   Sammanfattning : African elephants ( Loxodonta africana ) are social animals that are adapted to life in arid environments. Zoos in northern climates have to keep elephants confined indoors for several months a year due to the risk of cooling down body core temperature and slipping on frozen ground. LÄS MER

5. 4. The repulsive shrub : impact of an invasive shrub on habitat selection by African large herbivores

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

   Författare :David Rozen-Rechels; [2015]
   Nyckelord :invasive plants; large herbivores; savanna; habitat selection; clearing;

   Sammanfattning : Invasive plants, growing and spreading outside of their native range, can severely modify ecosystems. Herbivory has often been seen as a potential control of invasions, but has rarely been considered as a potential impacted trophic level. LÄS MER
