Grazing vs. mowing: A meta-analysis of biodiversity benefits for grassland management
To maintain the high biodiversity of semi-natural grasslands, management by grazing or
mowing is needed. Given the limited resources and few remaining areas, the best …

Sexual segregation in ungulates: a comparative test of three hypotheses
In most social ungulate species, males are larger than females and the sexes live in
separate groups outside the breeding season. It is important for our understanding of the …
