27 de feb. de 2018 · Isolation has played a part too though – African elephants can be split up into those that live in forests and those that roam the savannas, and the study showed no gene flow or interbreeding between these two groups for the past 500,000 years, despite their close geographical proximity.
21 de dic. de 2010 · A new genetic analysis, however, finds that forest and savanna elephants are as different from each other as modern Asian elephants are from ancient mammoths. The findings, which split the elephants into two species, could improve the conservation of African elephants overall, say researchers.
25 de mar. de 2021 · Evidence has been building since the early 2000s that forest and savanna elephants should be split taxonomically into two species. In 2008, when the IUCN issued its last assessment of African...
21 de dic. de 2010 · Scientists from Harvard Medical School, the University of Illinois, and the University of York in the United Kingdom used genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and the smaller African forest elephant have been largely separated for several million years.
24 de ago. de 2001 · On page 1473, a team of geneticists and elephant experts describe new molecular evidence showing that forest-and savanna-dwelling elephants, currently lumped together in a single species called Loxodonta africana, each merits its own species name. For more than 100 years, scientists have argued about the distinctiveness of forest elephants.
23 de ago. de 2001 · But scientists have apparently overlooked an entire species: In the 24 August issue of Science, a team of researchers shows that forest- and savanna-dwelling elephants, currently lumped together in a single species called Loxodonta africana, each merits its own species name.
6 de feb. de 2023 · The elephant herd can split into several smaller herds (or “elephant units”) if the group is too big. Contents show. Every elephant needs a herd. There are a number of reasons as to why an elephant needs to belong to a herd. The primary reasons are for shelter, safety, and to feel secure.
