Remotely sensed applications in monitoring the spatio-temporal dynamics of pools and flows along non-perennial rivers: a review
Non-perennial rivers (NPRs) account for more than 50% of the world's river network and
their occurrence is expanding. Some rivers that were previously classified as perennial have …

[HTML][HTML] Local elephant movements, turning angles, and water access across a rainfall gradient in Southern Africa
In the wet season of southern Africa's savannahs, surface water is extensive, allowing
elephants to move widely. However, when surface water is restricted in the dry season …

African elephants can detect water from natural and artificial sources via olfactory cues
M Wood, S Chamaillé-Jammes, A Hammerbacher… - Animal Cognition, 2022 - Springer
Water is vital for mammals. Yet, as ephemeral sources can be difficult to find, it raises the
question, how do mammals locate water? Elephants (Loxodonta africana) are water …
