Demographic Variables for Wild Asian Elephants Using Longitudinal Observations
Detailed demographic data on wild Asian elephants have been difficult to collect due to habitat characteristics of much of the species' remaining range. Such data, however, are critical for understanding and modeling population processes in this endangered species. We present data from six years of an ongoing study of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in Uda Walawe National Park, Sri Lanka. Thi...

Our results indicate that tuberculosis may be spilling over from humans (reverse zoonosis) and emerging in wild elephants.

Human–elephant conflict is a major problem leading to crop damage, human death by elephants and elephants being killed by people. The surveillance and tracking of elephant herds are difficult due to their size and nature of movement. Materials: In this article, we propose a four-wheeled quadruped robot to mitigate human–elephant conflict. The robot can detect movement of wild pachyderms in cert...
