SISTEMAS FISIOGRÁFICOS DEL ÁREA NATURAL PROTEGIDA “VALLE CRETÁCICO”, PROVINCIA DE RÍO NEGRO by Romina Solorza, Marcos D. Mare

“…The demographic expansion of cities in the Alto Valle and the regional tendencies for social practices of leisure and recreation, mark an increasing preference of population towards the surrounding rugged landscape and the consequent increase in the load pressure on semi-arid and sparsely anthropied environments of the south margin of the rivers Limay and Negro. As an example, it is enough to mention the practice of not regulated sport activities that are aggressive for environment, which contribute to accelerate erosion processes, loss of vegetation and soils, etc., while the unplanned urban development characterized by the lack of basic services in the suburbs, has led to a high rate of extraction of wood resources of the bush, the emergence of unauthorized micro rubbish dumps, greater frequency in the fire occurrence, etc. …”

Seasonal Variation in Home Range Sizes and Daily Distance to Ephemeral Surface Water for African Savannah Elephant (Loxodonta africana) in Eastern Okavango Panhandle, Northern Bots... by Anastacia A. Makati, Anna Songhurst, Emily Bennitt, Gaseitsiwe S. Masunga, Graham McCulloch, Amanda Stronza, Tiroyaone A. Matsika, Frank D. Eckardt

“…We hypothesized that (i) elephant home ranges would be larger in the wet than in the dry season (because critical resources tend to be less localized in the wet than in the dry season), (ii) the daily distance of the elephants to the nearest ephemeral surface water sources would be larger in the dry than in the wet season because many of the ephemeral water sources would be dry in the dry season and elephants would start moving towards permanent water sources such as rivers, and lastly (iii) that the differences in elephant home ranges and daily distance to water would differ between sexes. …”
