- W318200681 abstract "Elephant conservation management is controversial. Where elephants occur at high densities they may threaten biodiversity and the livelihoods of people. Where they live at low densities they may face extinction with adverse consequences for ecosystems. Metapopulation theory provides an attractive management platform for elephants living under diverse conditions because it may induce regional stability in numbers, despite local instabilities. Here I investigate whether elephant sub-populations in southern Africa are in demographic asynchrony and therefore adhere to one of the criteria required for metapopulation dynamics. I found spatial and temporal asynchrony among populations at both local and regional scales. Regionally elephant numbers remained relatively stable and had low variance as some sub-populations increased while others decreased or remained stable. I suggest that metapopulation processes, operating across a spatial gradient may stabilize elephant numbers on the sub-continent. My results highlight the importance of space for elephant management. 1 The term ‘local population’ has been changed to ‘sub-population’ in this chapter as well as in the rest of the thesis (except Chapter 2). There is no difference in the meaning of these two terms, except that personally I prefer to use the term ‘sub-population’." @default.
