Space use by African savannah elephants in an arid protected area dominated by a mosaic of different vegetation

The African savannah elephant (Loxodonta Africana) migrate in response to limiting environmental factors in arid areas. Using global positioning systems (GPS) telemetry data, we determined: (i) the dominant vegetation types used by African savannah elephants and (ii) the differences in the area occu...
