Question 17 Save Answer The elephant population in South Africa's Addo Elephant National Park has not experienced any gene flow from Mozambique populations, unlike the elephant population in Kruger National Park which is much closer to the border. The Kruger National Park population size is also much larger, so that for decades South African officials practiced culling (random killing) to reduce the population size. This practice ended in 1995. Both National Park populations currently experience similar management practices and protection from ivory hunting. Using concepts from this class, would your predictions for evolution of the tuskless phenotype differ for the Kruger elephant population compared to the Addo population? Why or why not?

The elephant population in South Africa's Addo Elephant National Park has not experienced any gene flow from Mozambique populations, unlike the
elephant population in Kruger National Park which is much closer to the border. The Kruger National Park population size is also much larger, so that
for decades South African officials practiced culling (random killing) to reduce the population size. This practice ended in 1995. Both National Park
populations currently experience similar management practices and protection from ivory hunting.
Using concepts from this class, would your predictions for evolution of the tuskless phenotype differ for the Kruger elephant population compared to the
Addo population? Why or why not?
