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 ...

Native and domestic browsers and grazers reduce fuels, fire temperatures, and acacia ant mortality in an African savanna

Kimuyu, Duncan M.; Sensenig, Ryan L.; Riginos, Corinna; Veblen, Kari E.; Young, Truman P. (Ecological Society of America, 2014-01)

Despite the importance of fire and herbivory in structuring savanna systems, few replicated experiments have examined the interactive effects of herbivory and fire on plant dynamics. In addition, the effects of fire on ...
