Fire disturbance disrupts an acacia ant–plant mutualism in favor of a subordinate ant species
Kimuyu, Duncan K.; Sensenig, Ryan L.; Guajardo, Juan C. Ruiz; Veblen, Kari E.; Riginos, Corinna; YOUNG, Truman P. (EcologicalSocietyof America, 2017)Although disturbance theory has been recognized as a useful framework in examining the stability of ant–plant mutualisms, very few studies have examined the effects of fire disturbance on these mutualisms. In myrmecophyt ... -

Relationships Between Cattle and Biodiversity in Multiuse Landscape Revealed by Kenya Long-Term Exclosure Experiment
Kimuyu, Duncan M.; Young, Truman P.; Porensky, Lauren M.; Riginos, Corinna; Veblen, Kari E.; Odadi, Wilfred O.; Charles, Grace K.; Young, Hillary S. (Elsevier, 2018-05)On rangelands worldwide, cattle interact with many forms of biodiversity, most obviously with vegetation and other large herbivores. Since 1995, we have been manipulating the presence of cattle, mesoherbivores, and ... -
Synergistic effects of fire and elephants on arboreal animals in an African savanna
Sensenig, Ryan L.; Pringle, Robert M.; Kimuyu, Duncan M.; Palmer, Todd M.; Corinna Riginos; Veblen, Kari E.; Young, Truman P. (British Ecological Society, 2015) -
Synergistic effects of long-term herbivory and previous fire on fine-scale heterogeneity of prescribed grassland burns
Kimuyu, Duncan; Werner, Chhaya M.; Veblen, Kari E.; Sensenig, Ryan L.; LaMalfa, Eric; Young, Truman P. (Ecology, 2020-10)Grassland and savanna ecosystems, important for both livelihoods and biodiversity conservation, are strongly affected by ecosystem drivers such as herbivory, fire, and drought. Interactions among fire, herbivores and ... -
Tree resprout dynamics following fire depend on herbivory by wild ungulate herbivores
Kimuyu, Duncan M.; LaMalfa, Eric M.; Sensenig, Ryan L.; Young, Truman P.; Riginos, Corinna; Veblen, Kari E. (Journal of Ecology, 2019-04)1. Savanna tree cover is dynamic due to disturbances such as fire and herbivory. Frequent fires can limit a key demographic transition from sapling to adult height classes in savanna trees. Saplings may be caught in a ‘fire ...
