Abstract
In the results section:1. Caption of Figure 3 text "Seasonal mean daily displacement of African savannah elephants of different elephant groups collared in Abu Private Reserve, Okavango Delta, Botswana, before and after releasing captive elephants.The distance between the coordinates of GPS fixes recorded at 1800 h on consecutive days of an elephant was used to calculate the daily displacement" is incorrect and should read "Seasonal mean 30-min distances moved by African savannah elephants of different elephant groups divided by (top) diurnal and (bottom) nocturnal, collared in Abu Private Reserve, Okavango Delta, Botswana, before and after releasing captive elephants.The diurnal movements were recorded from 0600 h to 1730 h, while the nocturnal movements were recorded from 1800 h to 0530 h.NB: The y axes of the two graphs are on different scales."2.
