DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2727

Abstract: Abstract Given that many exotic plant species throughout the world are having large ecological and economic effects, it is vital to understand the forces that mediate their success in novel landscapes. Both native herbivores and… read more here.

Abstract: Current theory (e.g., consumer-controlled theory) predicts that nutrient enrichment typically amplifies herbivory and thereby suppresses the growth and expansion of invasive plants. Herbivores can facilitate plant regrowth in the native community by stimulating complementary growth… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fooweb.2021.e00201

Abstract: Abstract The use of areas by native and non-native herbivores in sympatry has frequently led to conflicts between farmers and native animals. Dietary studies integrating methodologies usually provide a better quantified understanding of resource sharing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aec.12834

Abstract: Australian savannas lack native megaherbivores (>500 kg body mass), but since the commencement of European colonisation in the 19th century bovine livestock, such as cattle (Bos sp.) and water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), have established large feral… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16600

Abstract: Grazing by large mammalian herbivores impacts climate as it can favor the size and stability of a large carbon (C) pool in the soils of grazing ecosystems. As native herbivores in the world's grasslands, steppes,… read more here.
