Ecologists have long sought to understand the factors controlling the structure of savanna
vegetation. Using data from 2154 sites in savannas across Africa, Australia, and South …

Herbivory is a key process structuring vegetation in savannas, especially in Africa where
large mammal herbivore communities remain intact. Exclusion experiments consistently …

There has been a recent surge of interest in remote sensing and its use in ecology and
conservation but this is the first book to focus explicitly on the NDVI (Normalised Difference …

Grazing lawns are a distinct grassland community type, characterised by short‐stature and
with their persistence and spread promoted by grazing. In Africa, they reveal a long co …

Ambiguous empirical support for 'landscapes of fear'in natural systems may stem from failure
to consider dynamic temporal changes in predation risk. The lunar cycle dramatically alters …

Herbivores are regulated by predation under certain environmental conditions, whereas
under others they are limited by forage abundance and nutritional quality. Whether top-down …

Animal‐derived nutrients play an important role in structuring nutrient regimes within and
between ecosystems. When animals undergo repetitive, aggregating behavior through time …

Herbivores frequently have to make trade‐offs between two basic needs: the need to
acquire forage and the need to avoid predation. One manifestation of this trade‐off is the …

Herbivores play an important role in determining the structure and function of tropical
savannahs. Here, we (i) outline a framework for how interactions among large mammalian …

Eastern Africa is home to the largest terrestrial migrations on Earth. Though these migratory
systems have been well studied for decades, little is known of their antiquity and …
