Using molecular and observational techniques to estimate the number and raiding patterns of crop-raiding elephants

2011-06-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Conflict between humans and animals, generated by behaviours like crop raiding, can represent a major threat to the survival and conservation of protected species. Crop raiding is an example where the conflict is assumed to be attributable to a small number of habitually raiding animals. No studies have systematically tested this assumption on African elephants Loxodonta africana. 2. In the greater Amboseli bas...
