Abstract

Does dehorning lead to a change in inter-calf intervals in free-ranging white rhinoceros?

Cover caption: "Tim" (1970–2020), one of the last remaining iconic "tusker" elephants in Kenya died of natural causes in Amboseli National Park in February 2020, aged 50. Tim whose tusks swept the ground was well-known and much-photographed earning significant revenue for the Kenya Wildlife Service from tourism. © Ryan Wilkie
