DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7977
Abstract: Abstract Large and small mammalian herbivores are present in most vegetated areas in the Arctic and often have large impacts on plant community composition and ecosystem functioning. The relative importance of different herbivores and especially… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3655
Abstract: Across the globe, biological invasions have disrupted mutualisms, producing reverberating consequences for ecosystems. Although invasive species frequently trigger mutualism disruptions, few studies have quantified the demographic mechanisms by which mutualism breakdown may generate population effects.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.03.002
Abstract: Abstract Stand thinning and fertilization are silvicultural practices designed to enhance wood and biomass production. Applications of nitrogen-based fertilizers make nutrients potentially available to all trees, plants, and wildlife in a given forest ecosystem, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/03014223.2019.1689147
Abstract: ABSTRACT Wild mammalian herbivores can compete with domestic livestock and damage other types of production systems. We reviewed damage by wild mammalian herbivores, excluding rodents, to primary production in New Zealand and assessed whether primary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.12744
Abstract: Even though mammalian herbivores can exert strong indirect effects on other animals by altering the vegetation, the study of trophic cascades retains a focus on apex predators and their top-down forces. Bottom-up trophic interaction chains… read more here.
