Elephant behaviour and conservation: social relationships, the effects of poaching, and genetic tools for management.

Molecular ecology - 1 Feb 2012

Archie Elizabeth A, Chiyo Patrick I

Abstract excerpt

Genetic tools are increasingly valuable for understanding the behaviour, evolution, and conservation of social species. In African elephants, for instance, genetic data provide basic information on the population genetic causes and consequences of social behaviour, and how human activities alter...
