Mitochondria are intracellular organelles responsible for cellular respiration with one of their major roles in the production of energy in the form of ATP. Activities with increased energetic demand are especially dependent on efficient ATP producti...

The impact of competition on elephant musth strategies: a game–theoretic model (2017)
Journal Article
Wyse, J. M., Hardy, I. C., Yon, L., & Mesterton-Gibbons, M. (in press). The impact of competition on elephant musth strategies: a game–theoretic model. Journal of Theoretical Biology, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2017.01.025

Mature male African Savannah elephants are known to periodically enter a temporary state of heightened aggression called “musth,” often linked with increased androgens, particularly testosterone. Sexually mature males are capable of entering musth at... Read More about The impact of competition on elephant musth strategies: a game–theoretic model.
