TL;DR: An empirically optimized resistance surface is used to calculate resistant kernel and factorial least cost path predictions of population connectivity and conflict risk for lions across the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA) and surrounding landscape.
African Elephants Adjust Speed in Response to Surface-Water Constraint on Foraging during the Dry-Season
TL;DR: It is found that elephants went further from water when drinking less often, which could result from a trade-off between drinking and foraging in less depleted, far from water, places, and how individuals may adjust movement behavior to deal with resource trade-offs at the landscape scale.
Movements vary according to dispersal stage, group size, and rainfall: the case of the African lion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed movement metrics and patterns of autocorrelation from GPS data for 20 lions (Panthera leo) over a five-year period and compared movement among different stages of natal dispersal (departure, transience and settlement), in addition to that of territorial adults of both sexes.

Insights for integrated conservation from attitudes of people toward protected areas near Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.
TL;DR: Assessment of population changes in 9 villages located between 2 PAs with different management policies found immigrants attracted by the area and who used resources within the PA with fewer restrictions expressed more negative attitudes toward PAs, but profit-seeking migrants did not expect these constraints and were particularly concerned with local overpopulation and access to natural resources.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied variations of sable antelope Hippotragus niger densities between 1990 and 2001 in comparison with various land uses in and around Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.
