Elephant population survey counts across southern Africa protected areas
<p><span>The influence of protected areas on the growth of African savannah elephant populations is inadequately known. Across southern Africa, elephant numbers grew at 0.16% annually for the past quarter century. Locally, much depends on metapopulation dynamics — the size and connections of individual populations. Population numbers in large, connected and strictly protected areas typically increased, were less variable from year to year, and suffered less from poaching. Conversely, populations in buffer areas that are less protected but still connected </span>have more variation in growth from year to year<span>. Buffer areas also differed more in their growth rates, likely due to more threats and dispersal opportunities in the face of such dangers. Isolated populations showed consistently high growth due to a lack of emigration. This suggests that "fortress" conservation generally maintains high growth, while anthropogenic-driven source-sink dynamics within connected conservation clusters drive stability in core areas and variability in buffers. </span></p>

Artificial waterhole type selection data for elephant and rhino
<p><span>Artificial water provisioning occurs in southern African nature reserves, with different game species preferring specific waterhole types. Movement patterns and behaviour of elephant and rhino are associated with water availability. These mega-herbivores affect the environment and species they encounter, especially at waterholes which are focal points for congregation and interaction. Understanding artificial waterhole type preferences is important, particularly during times of water shortage, allowing managers to manipulate numbers and types of waterholes. This study investigates elephant and rhino use of waterholes in the Olifants West Nature Reserve, South Africa. Waterhole types in the study area are earth dams, concrete pans, reservoirs and troughs. Visitation frequency, proportion of visits, time visited, and variables affecting frequency of visits were investigated using camera traps. Findings indicated that elephants preferred reservoirs, black rhino preferred earth dams, and white rhino preferred troughs. Different social groupings had distinct preferences for different waterhole types. Elephant breeding herds preferred reservoirs, while bachelor groups avoided them and preferred earth dams. Black and white rhino bachelor groups preferred troughs, and cows and bull-and-cow groups preferred earth dams. Data from this study will facilitate implementation of efficient conservation plans for existing areas containing the study species, and for potential release sites. </span></p> <p>artificial waterhole use</p>

Data from: Sundaic elephants prefer habitats on the periphery of protected areas
<p><span>1. </span><span>Protected Areas (PAs) are a cornerstone of global conservation strategies. PAs, however, are not equally effective for all threatened taxa, and it is important to understand taxa-specific effectiveness of PAs networks. </span></p> <p><span>2. </span><span>In this study we evaluate the role of the PAs network on the protection of Asian elephants (<em>Elephas maximus</em>) and their habitats in Southeast Asia's Sundaic region. Since Asian elephants tend to prefer secondary forests or forest gaps, </span><span>we predicted that PAs would not represent the species' preferred habitats.</span> <span>We conducted the most comprehensive analysis of Asian elephant space and habitat use to date through home range estimations and Step Selection Function analyses using over 600,000 GPS locations from 102 different elephants from Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. </span></p> <p><span>3. </span><span>Our results revealed important similarities in the habitat use of elephants in both regions, with both females and males in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah preferring secondary forest, forest gaps, and areas of regrowth and new plantations. </span></p> <p><span>4. </span><span>Our results supported our prediction that PAs do not represent Asian elephants' preferred habitats, since for most of the elephants, more than half of their ranges were outside PAs and the probability of selection values for both sexes in both geographical areas were lower inside than outside the PAs. </span></p> <p><span>5. </span><span>Synthesis and applications:</span><span> Our analysis suggests that conservation strategies need to acknowledge that the long-term survival of Asian elephants in the Sundaic region relies on our capacity to promote human-elephant coexistence at the boundaries of PAs. We advocate that Asian elephant conservation strategies should be based on the following three key points: 1) large PAs with core areas where elephants can find safety and potentially survive in the long term; 2) promoting connectivity among PAs using a system of wildlife corridors; and 3) effective human-elephant conflict management outside PAs. </span></p>

Elephant Humerus
Humerus of an asian elephant *Elephas maximus* scanned using a Rapiscan-RTT110 X-Ray luggage scanner at Henry Mosely X Ray Facility. The CT scan was processed with Stradwin with medium smoothing. The scanner is capable of scanning several hundred objects an hour. This was an experimental scan to test its capabilities with large animal bones-no processing of slice artefacts has been done in this case.
