A new study by scientists of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) has found that elephant herds compete more for food in anthropogenically created grasslands than in forests even if the former has an abundance of food.
The study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science highlights how human activities can have ecological effects and an impact on the social lives of animals.
The scientists investigated the influence of food distribution within and between group interactions in female-bonded animals such as elephants.
