Faecal progestagen metabolite concentrations for two adult female African elephants. a) Female No. 1 treated with the GnRH vaccine and b) Female No. 4; control group. Solid line represents baseline concentration, horizontal solid bars represent luteal phase, horizontal open bars represent inter-luteal phase, and dotted line arrows correspond to darting dates of primary vaccine and subsequent booster vaccine. Circles stand for sniffing into genital opening or urine and stars for vaginal discharge observations. Wet season is illustrated in grey background.
