Journal ArticleDOI
Reliable Noninvasive Genotyping: Fantasy or Reality?
TL;DR: This work has developed collection, extraction, and amplification protocols that are inexpensive and provide a high level of success in amplifying both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA from dung, and demonstrates the reliability of genotyping from elephant dung using these protocols.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA analysis indicates that Asian elephants are native to Borneo and are therefore a high priority for conservation.

TL;DR: Borneo's elephants are genetically distinct, with molecular divergence indicative of a Pleistocene colonisation of Borneo and subsequent isolation, and their genetic distinctiveness makes them one of the highest priority populations for Asian elephant conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population differentiation within and among Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) populations in southern India.
TL;DR: The first population genetic study of free-ranging Asian elephants is presented, examining within- and among-population differentiation by analysing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear microsatellite DNA differentiation across the Nilgiris, Anamalai, and Periyar elephant reserves of southern India.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social organization of the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) in southern India inferred from microsatellite DNA
T. N. C. Vidya,Raman Sukumar +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that female-led herds comprise closely related individuals that are indeed families, and that males exhibit non-random locational dispersal.
Journal Article
Social and reproductive behaviour in elephants
T. N. C. Vidya,Raman Sukumar +1 more
TL;DR: Improved laboratory techniques may enable future work on reproductive signalling in free-ranging elephants, allowing for comprehensive studies of male-male interactions and mate choice by females.
