Elephant facial motor control.
Kaufmann LV, Schneeweiß U, Maier E, Hildebrandt T, Brecht M. Kaufmann LV, et al. Sci Adv. 2022 Oct 28;8(43):eabq2789. doi: 10.1126/sciadv.abq2789. Epub 2022 Oct 26. Sci Adv. 2022. PMID: 36288305 Free PMC article.
We studied facial motor control in elephants, animals with muscular dexterous trunks. Facial nucleus neurons (~54,000 in Asian elephants, ~63,000 in African elephants) outnumbered those of other land-living mammals. The large-eared African elephants ha …

Suction feeding by elephants.
Schulz AK, Ning Wu J, Ha SYS, Kim G, Braccini Slade S, Rivera S, Reidenberg JS, Hu DL. Schulz AK, et al. J R Soc Interface. 2021 Jun;18(179):20210215. doi: 10.1098/rsif.2021.0215. Epub 2021 Jun 2. J R Soc Interface. 2021. PMID: 34062103 Free PMC article.
Despite having a trunk that weighs over 100 kg, elephants mainly feed on lightweight vegetation. How do elephants manipulate such small items? ...Based on the pressures applied, we estimate that the elephants can inhale at speeds of over 150 m s(-1), nearly 3 …

Mammoths.
Hofreiter M, Lister A. Hofreiter M, et al. Curr Biol. 2006 May 23;16(10):R347-8. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2006.04.020. Curr Biol. 2006. PMID: 16713938 Free article. No abstract available.
Natural Frequencies in Sexual Pelvic Thrusting.
Nehme-Haily J, Yin L, Diaz V, Lin D, Hu DL. Nehme-Haily J, et al. Integr Comp Biol. 2025 Dec 5;65(6):1347-1357. doi: 10.1093/icb/icaf135. Integr Comp Biol. 2025. PMID: 40690312
By analyzing films of copulating mammals, from mice Mus musculus to elephants Elephantidae, we find that bigger animals thrust slower. The rate of pelvic thrusting decreases from 6 Hz for the pocket mouse Pergonathus to 1.3-1.8 Hz for humans to an absence of thrusti …

Uncoupling elephant TP53 and cancer.
Vollrath F. Vollrath F. Trends Ecol Evol. 2023 Aug;38(8):705-707. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2023.05.011. Epub 2023 Jun 27. Trends Ecol Evol. 2023. PMID: 37385845 Free article.
Elephant testicles do not descend, with implications for sperm production being hot enough to compromise germline DNA replication/repair. Uniquely, elephants also possess 20 copies of a gene encoding for the p53 protein. Did elephants evolve multiplication of the TP …

Elephant natural history: a genomic perspective.
Roca AL, Ishida Y, Brandt AL, Benjamin NR, Zhao K, Georgiadis NJ. Roca AL, et al. Annu Rev Anim Biosci. 2015;3:139-67. doi: 10.1146/annurev-animal-022114-110838. Epub 2014 Dec 8. Annu Rev Anim Biosci. 2015. PMID: 25493538 Review.
We review DNA-based studies of elephants and recently extinct proboscideans. The evidence indicates that little or no nuclear gene flow occurs between African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) and African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis), establishi …

Elephants have a nose for quantity.
Plotnik JM, Brubaker DL, Dale R, Tiller LN, Mumby HS, Clayton NS. Plotnik JM, et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2019 Jun 18;116(25):12566-12571. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1818284116. Epub 2019 Jun 3. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2019. PMID: 31160445 Free PMC article.
Using an object-choice task, we demonstrate that elephants are able to discriminate between two distinct quantities using their olfactory sense alone. ...Overall, the elephants chose the larger quantity of food by smelling for it. The elephants' performance w …

Aging: What We Can Learn From Elephants.
Chusyd DE, Ackermans NL, Austad SN, Hof PR, Mielke MM, Sherwood CC, Allison DB. Chusyd DE, et al. Front Aging. 2021 Aug 26;2:726714. doi: 10.3389/fragi.2021.726714. eCollection 2021. Front Aging. 2021. PMID: 35822016 Free PMC article. Review.
Elephants are large-brained, social mammals with a long lifespan. Studies of elephants can provide insight into the aging process, which may be relevant to understanding diseases that affect elderly humans because of their shared characteristics that have arisen thr …

Elephant resource-use traditions.
Fishlock V, Caldwell C, Lee PC. Fishlock V, et al. Anim Cogn. 2016 Mar;19(2):429-33. doi: 10.1007/s10071-015-0921-x. Epub 2015 Sep 10. Anim Cogn. 2016. PMID: 26359083
We review evidence for specific habitat exploitation in elephants and suggest that this represents socially learned cultural behaviour. Although elephants show high fidelity to precise locations over the very long term, these location preferences are explained neith …

Tuberculosis in elephants: Origins and evidence of interspecies transmission.
Paudel S, Sreevatsan S. Paudel S, et al. Tuberculosis (Edinb). 2020 Jul;123:101962. doi: 10.1016/j.tube.2020.101962. Epub 2020 Jun 28. Tuberculosis (Edinb). 2020. PMID: 32741531 Review.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a devastating disease in elephants caused by either Mycobacterium tuberculosis or M. bovis. It is an ancient disease, and TB in elephants was first reported over two millennia ago in Sri Lanka. ...Active surveillance of TB in wild and captive …
