Large herbivores play unique ecological roles and are disproportionately imperiled by
human activity. As many wild populations dwindle towards extinction, and as interest grows …

Anthropogenic disturbance has generated a significant loss of biodiversity worldwide and
grazing by domestic herbivores is a contributing disturbance. Although the effects of grazing …

Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem
services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure …

The widespread extirpation of megafauna may have destabilized ecosystems and altered
biodiversity globally. Most megafauna extinctions occurred before the modern record …

While human-driven biological invasions are rapidly spreading, finding scalable and
effective control methods poses an unresolved challenge. Here, we assess whether …

The stability of ecological communities is critical for the stable provisioning of ecosystem
services, such as food and forage production, carbon sequestration, and soil fertility. Greater …

Ecological models predict that the effects of mammalian herbivore exclusion on plant
diversity depend on resource availability and plant exposure to ungulate grazing over …

Fire activity varies substantially at global scales because of the influence of climate, but at
broad spatiotemporal scales, the possible effects of herbivory on fire activity are unknown …

Grazing by mammalian herbivores can be a climate mitigation strategy as it influences the
size and stability of a large soil carbon (soil-C) pool (more than 500 Pg C in the world's …

Wild large herbivores are declining worldwide. Despite extensive use of exclosure
experiments to investigate herbivore impacts, there is little consensus on the effects of wild …
