conclusionselephants bring about extremely long distance dispersal.distances of 30km and over have formerly been treated asextreme LDD events that happen very infrequently – oncein a population in a year (Nathan, 2008).in areas with elephants: this is likely to enable rapidmovements in response to climate change – mobile link betweenvegetation types – enhances genetic diversity.in areas without elephants: dispersal failure is a risk – rangereductions or clumped and aged populations might result.I am hoping to further explore these consequences.
