#Poachers Killed More than 100,000 Elephants in 3 Years This story was updated at 10:32 am ET on Aug 19.
Poachers are hunting the animal faster than it can reproduce with deaths affecting more than half of elephant families in the Samburu National Reserve in Kenya a new study finds.
since 1998 poachers killed an estimated 40000 elephants or about 8 percent of the elephant population in Africa.
but people unfortunately like their ivory tusks said the study's lead researcher George Wittemyer an assistant professor of fish wildlife and conservation biology at Colorado State university.
Poachers killed an average of 33630 elephants every year from 2010 to 2012 resulting in more than 100000 deaths across the continent the study found.
The resulting friction called the friction coefficient between the shoe sole and banana skin was comparable to a well-lubricated surface like a ski on snow the researchers wrote in their paper on the study detailed online in 2012 the journal Tribology.
which could affect fish and other marine animals that nourish themselves in these nutrient-rich waters according to a new study.
Researchers found that years with weak upwelling were associated with slower growth in fish populations and lower reproduction rates for seabirds the researchers said.
These organisms are the backbone of the marine ecosystem and support huge populations of fish and seabirds.
To determine how upwelling influenced marine life the researchers used data on yearly fish population growth since the 1940s along with data on seabird egg laying and the survival of baby seabirds since the 1970s.
By comparing the tree-ring data to the fish and seabird statistics the researchers found that years with weak upwelling

and pelvic fins articulating to the shoulder or pelvis by a single bone (humerus or femur)
Lobe-finned fishes are accepted the ancestors of all tetrapods. Plants which had begun colonizing the land during the Silurian period continued to make evolutionary progress during the Devonian.
Early tetrapods probably evolved from Lobe-finned fishes able to use their muscular fins to take advantage of the predator-free and food-rich environment of the new wetland ecosystems.
Dated from the mid-Devonian this fossil creature is considered to be the link between the lobe-finned fishes and early amphibians.

and that the trade is organised well and not the work of individual poachers or small groups.

Although fish have long been suspected of having an important role in seed distribution, proof of their ability to carry fertile seeds such distances has been lacking.
and her team had discovered previously thousands of seeds in the guts of Colossoma macropomum fish in Peru's Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve1.
and found that the location of wild fish varied by as much as 5. 9 km.
Combining this with data from captive fish on how long seeds are retained in their guts, the authors predict that C. macropomum probably have a mean dispersal distance of 337-552 metres
and put the fish on a par with other long-distance seed movers of the animal world African hornbills and Asian elephants.
and invaded by fish. Seed dispersal by fishes has been appreciated under in the past although written about for decades as of great potential value in this important ecological role,
says Michael Horn, a biologist who studies this subject at California State university, Fullerton. Many fish may provide a hugely important link between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems,
and not only in the Amazon. In the African tropics, for example, it is likely that fish distribute grass seeds,
and fish in North america and Europe probably also move seeds around. However, both of these are understudied woefully, Horn notes,
in part because it is much easier to study seed distribution by birds and terrestrial mammals.
Horn's own research has shown an involvement for fish in distributing fig tree seeds in Costa Rica3.
The study predicts that larger fish will distribute seeds further. However, most of the team's radio-tracked fish did not come close to the maximum reported size for C. macropomum,
which can reach a whopping 30 kg. Overfishing in the Amazon region has devastated C. macropomum's numbers
