Impacts of large herbivores on savanna plant communities: Predictive models of herbivore selectivity and plant responseNARA Subscribed
Large herbivores are among the most ecologically influential and extinction‐prone animals. Megaherbivores, in particular, radically alter vegetation. Yet, few studies have tried to predict the impacts of herbivores—or their extinction—on plant species composition and community structure. First principles suggest that preferred food plants should be most strongly suppressed by herbivores and released by herbivore loss, but this...
Ecological consequences of large herbivore exclusion in an A frican savanna: 12 years of data from the UHURU experimentNARA Subscribed
Diverse communities of large mammalian herbivores (LMH), once widespread, are now rare. LMH exert strong direct and indirect effects on community structure and ecosystem functions, and measuring these effects is important for testing ecological theory and for understanding past, current, and future environmental change. This in turn requires long‐term experimental manipulations, owing to the slow and often nonlinear responses...
