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 ... -

Spatial scales influence long-term response of herbivores to prescribed burning in a savanna ecosystem
Kimuyu, Duncan M.; Sensenig, Ryan L.; Chira, Robert M.; Githaiga, John M.; Young, Truman P. (CSIRO PUBLISHING, 2017-04)Both wild and prescribed fire in savanna ecosystems influence habitat use by herbivores by creating or maintaining spatial and temporal heterogeneity in forage quality and vegetation cover. Yet little is known about how ... -

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 ...
