Relationships between cattle and biodiversity in multiuse landscape revealed by Kenya Long-Term Exclosure Experiment
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 …

Pyric herbivory and the nexus between forage, fire and native and introduced large grazing herbivores in Australian tropical savannas
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 …

Revisiting the Jarman–bell principle
AB Potter, RM Pringle - The equids: A suite of splendid species, 2023 - Springer
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 …

Synergistic effects of long‐term herbivory and previous fire on fine‐scale heterogeneity of prescribed grassland burns
Grassland and savanna ecosystems, important for both livelihoods and biodiversity
conservation, are strongly affected by ecosystem drivers such as herbivory, fire, and drought …

Effects of large mammalian herbivory, previous fire, and year of burn on fire behavior in an African savanna
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 …

Time since fire interacts with herbivore intake rates to control herbivore habitat occupancy
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 …

The effects of fire frequency on vegetation structure and mammal assemblages in a savannah‐woodland system
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 …

Investigating foundations for hominin fire exploitation: Savanna-dwelling chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) in fire-altered landscapes
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 …
