Abstract in brief

  • Male African elephants in musth may increase their roaming behavior to find estrous females, which can lead to conflicts as their territories overlap with human areas.
  • Various methods have been tested to manage human-elephant conflicts with mixed success, but using estrous call playbacks shows promise.
  • In trials, musth males and younger non-musth males responded more intensely to the calls compared to older non-musth males, indicating that social dynamics and reproductive status influence their behavior and could help mitigate tensions with humans.
