The Distribution and Quality of Elephant Food Plants in Mwea National Reserve‐Kenya- African Journal of Ecology

African Journal of Ecology — 2026-06-16T05:13:10Z

ABSTRACT Understanding how herbivores respond to spatial and temporal resource variability is a central aspect of resource use ecology. This 18-month study examined how seasonal changes in food plants availability, distribution and nutritional quality influence the foraging behaviour of African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Mwea National Reserve, Kenya. We hypothesized that seasonal food selectivity would correlate with vegetation heterogeneity, plant abundance and nutrient (…) @Izuba - Ecology / Mediarezo

Multi‐Species Anthrax Outbreak Following Hippopotamus Mortality in Southern Zambia : Implications for Wildlife and One Health- African Journal of Ecology

African Journal of Ecology — 2026-06-12T08:31:25Z

Subsequent consumption by lions (Panthera leo (Linnaeus, 1758)) resulted in clinical disease and mortality, with associated human exposure. Concurrent herbivore deaths indicated broader environmental circulation. Bacillus anthracis Cohn, (…) @Izuba - Ecology / Mediarezo
