TL;DR: Results of the GEC show the necessity of action to end the African elephants’ downward trajectory by preventing poaching and protecting habitat, and provide the first quantitative model of elephant population trends across Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elephants in space and time
TL;DR: These approaches provide a powerful way to explore the scales and patterns of autocorrelation of animal movements, and to explicitly link those patterns to temporally variable environmental attributes, such as rainfall or vegetation phenology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Research Activity on Piping Plover Nest Predation
TL;DR: Examination of nest monitoring and other research activities influenced rates of red fox predation on both natural and artificial piping plover (Charadrius melodus) nests in Massachusetts to determine if foxes located plover nests by following researcher tracks and scent trails.
Journal Article
Predator exclosures: a technique to reduce predation at piping plover nests
TL;DR: The construction, installation, and success of circular, wire predator exclosures that were placed around individual piping plover nests in Massachusetts in 1988 and 1989 are described.
Journal Article
Do Predation Rates on Artificial Nests Accurately Reflect Predation Rates on Natural Bird Nests
TL;DR: It is suggested that lack of parental defense is an additional contributing factor responsible for higher predation rates on artificial nests and is likely to be a potential confounding factor in future nest predation experiments using artificial nests.
