Monthly activity centres of african elephants in a small game reserve

摘要：

Due to habitat heterogeneity and environmental variation, the home range and habitat utilization of African elephants varies in different years and different seasons, not only in large protected areas but also in small reserves (Shannon et al., 2006).Although there are many studies on seasonal changes of elephant home ranges, no articles on finer temporal shifts within elephant home ranges are published.Monthly movement rhythms should provide more detail on elephant foraging and its impacts and help the conservation and management of both elephants and their habitats, especially in small reserves.
