Musth and its effects on male–male and male–female associations in Asian elephants
P Keerthipriya, S Nandini, H Gautam… - Journal of …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Musth is an annual, asynchronous, rut-like phenomenon observed in male elephants. We
examined whether musth is a roving strategy, and whether musth provides a temporary …

NDVI is not reliable as a surrogate of forage abundance for a large herbivore in tropical forest habitat
Remotely sensed vegetation indices are increasingly being used in wildlife studies but field‐based
support for their utility as a measure of forage availability comes largely from open‐…

Do food distribution and competitor density affect agonistic behaviour within and between clans in a high fission–fusion species?
According to the ecological model of female social relationships (EMFSR), within-group
competition and between-group competition in female-bonded species are shaped by food …
