Relatedness and demography of African forest elephants: inferences from noninvasive fecal DNA analyses.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Munshi-South Jason

Abstract excerpt

African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) are genetically and morphologically distinct from their savannah counterparts, but their biology remains poorly understood. In this study, I use noninvasive fecal DNA analyses to examine the relatedness structure and historical demography of forest elephants at 2 sites in SW Gabon, central Africa. Pairwise relatedness values calculated between 162 elephant individuals...
