Spatial scales influence long-term response of herbivores to prescribed burning in a savanna ecosystem
(CSIRO PUBLISHING, 2017-01)
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 ...
Evidence of nutrient translocation in response to smoke exposure by the East African ant acacia, Vachellia drepanolobium
(Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021-09)
1. Fire is a major selective force on arid grassland communities, favoring traits such as the smoke-induced seed germination response seen in a wide variety of plant species. However, little is known about the relevance ...
5. Absentee owners and overlapping home ranges in a territorial species
(2021-01-07)
Abstract Understanding animals’ use of space can shed valuable light on multiple other aspects of behavioral ecology, including social organization, dispersal, and foraging efficiency. Home ranges, territories, core areas, ...
Fine‐scale variation in soil and topography influences herbaceous vegetation and the distribution of large mammalian herbivores
(Wiley, 2023-04)
Current understanding of the distribution of vegetation and large mammalian herbivores (LMH) is based
on a combination of biogeographic studies and highly controlled field experiments, but a more complete
understanding ...
