View Article and Find Full Text PDFAfrican elephants () are megaherbivores of the African savannas requiring extensive ranges that can provide critical resources for their survival and reproduction at different spatiotemporal scales. We studied seasonal differences in home range sizes and daily distance to the nearest surface water sources by five male and 10 female African elephants in the eastern Okavango Panhandle in northern Botswana between 2014 and 2017. 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.

Background: Patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) have a high mortality risk, even after optimal management and accounting for differences in comorbidities. We aimed to assess the overall survival of patients with operable MPM based on social determinants of health (SDH). We hypothesized that an SDH score can predict patients with poorer overall survival despite optimal management.
