Simulated poaching affects global connectivity and efficiency in social networks of African savanna elephants - an exemplar of how human disturbance impacts group-living species

2020-08-24

Abstract excerpt

Selective harvest, such as poaching, impacts group-living animals directly through mortality of individuals with desirable traits, and indirectly by altering the structure of their social networks. Understanding the relationship between the structural network changes and group performance in wild animals remains an outstanding problem. To address this knowledge gap, we evaluate the immediate effect of disturbance...
