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...

Résumé
L'éléphant de savane d'Afrique (Loxodonta Africana) migre en réponse à des facteurs environnementaux limitants dans les zones arides. En utilisant les données télémétriques du système de positionnement global (GPS), nous avons déterminé : i) les types de végétation dominants utilisés par les éléphants de savane d'Afrique et ii) les différences dans la zone occupée par les types de végétation dominants dans le parc national de Gonarezhou (GNP) au Zimbabwe. Les différences spatio‐temporelles considérables (p < 0,05) détectées dans les types de végétation utilisés par l'éléphant de savane d'Afrique, et dans la zone couverte par les types de végétation ont stimulé un modèle de recherche de nourriture déterminé. La télémétrie GPS est un outil de conservation intelligent pour la surveillance des mouvements des éléphants de savane d’Afrique dans les zones protégées.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0141-6707</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1365-2028</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/aje.13240</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Nairobi: Blackwell Publishing Ltd</publisher><subject>Aridity ; Conservation ; Elephants ; Environmental factors ; Foraging behavior ; Global positioning systems ; GPS ; Loxodonta africana ; National parks ; Protected areas ; Savannahs ; Surveillance ; Telemetry ; Vegetation</subject><ispartof>African journal of ecology, 2024-01, Vol.62 (1), p.n/a</ispartof><rights>2023 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.</rights><rights>Copyright © 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c2570-7e6fda4f59eb058db1abc3449cd39b91b42be5619eab6a4d41ba34a918695143</cites><orcidid>0000-0001-5493-4421</orcidid></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111%2Faje.13240$$EPDF$$P50$$Gwiley$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111%2Faje.13240$$EHTML$$P50$$Gwiley$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,776,780,1411,27903,27904,45553,45554</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Mukomberanwa, Nobert Tafadzwa</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Taru, Phillip</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Utete, Beaven</creatorcontrib><title>Space use by African savannah elephants in an arid protected area dominated by a mosaic of different vegetation</title><title>African journal of ecology</title><description>The African savannah elephant (Loxodonta Africana) migrate in response to limiting environmental factors in arid areas.
