The Relationship of Herpetofaunal Community Composition to an Elephant (Loxodonta Africana) Modified Savanna Woodland of Northern Tanzania, and Bioassays with African Elephants
… (Acacia spp.). The study was conducted at Ndarakwai Ranch in northeastern Tanzania. Elephants moving between three National Parks in Kenya and Tanzania visit this property. From August 2007 to March 2008, we erected drift fences and pitfall traps to sample herpetofaunal community and …

Waterhole Dynamics and Chemical Signals of African Elephants (<i> Loxodonta Africana </i>)
… were performed at a permanent waterhole on the Ndarakwai Ranch in northern Tanzania. More elephant and mammal species used the waterhole during the dry season and during higher ambient temperatures. Elephant-mammal co-occurrence was rare, suggesting the workings of interference competition by …
