The frequencies and power of cyclical movements in elephants varied in relation to location during the dry season when interspecific conflict over resources is greatest. Movements outside protected areas in pastoralist lands are hypothesized to be disrupted by risk of conflict or predation by humans. The movements of a subordinate elephant, R37 (black equates to paths with no significant autocorrelation and red shades are color scaled by strength of wavelet fit), show her diurnal movement cycles (Left) were more common within protected areas, whereas her multiday cycles (Right) were more common outside protected areas (S2). A dominant elephant, M54 (gray equates to paths with no autocorrelation and green shades are scaled by strength of wavelet fit), rarely leaves the protected areas and demonstrates only diurnal cycling.
