Small-mammal faunas of tropical savannas consist of endemic assemblages of murid
rodents, small marsupials, and insectivores on four continents. Small mammals in tropical …

On rangelands worldwide, cattle interact with many forms of biodiversity, most obviously with
vegetation and other large herbivores. Since 1995, we have been manipulating the …

Earth's tropical savannas typically support high biomass of diverse grazing herbivores that
depend on a highly fluctuating resource: high-quality forage. An annual wet–dry cycle, fire …

Large-bodied herbivores are generally thought to eat lower-quality diets than do small-
bodied herbivores. Over the last 50 years, a large body of theoretical and empirical research …

Grassland and savanna ecosystems, important for both livelihoods and biodiversity
conservation, are strongly affected by ecosystem drivers such as herbivory, fire, and drought …

Fire, herbivores, and climatic factors are all major drivers of savanna and grassland
dynamics, and they interact in complex ways, which are still in the process of being …

Smaller grazers consistently show greater preference for recently burned patches than
larger species. Energy optimization theory posits that this pattern is driven by small‐versus …

Fire frequency affects vegetation structure and composition in savannah‐woodlands, with
the potential indirect consequence of affecting the habitat choice and space use of large …

Humans' extensive use of fire is one behavior that sets us apart from all other animals.
However, our ancestors' reliance on controlled forms of fire—ie, for cooking—was likely …

Introduction In the aftermath of a fire, prompt reforestation of the affected areas is crucial to
mitigate economic losses and ecological impacts. Methods This paper introduces an …
