Modification of Ecosystems by Ungulates

Ecosystem ecologists traditionally have focused their attention on direct interactions among species, particularly those interactions that control flows of energy and materials among trophic levels. Emerging evidence suggests that indirect interactions may be more important than direct ones in determining ecosystem patterns and processes. Here I review indirect effects of ungulates on nutrient ...

Physiological adaptation in savanna ungulates.

Savannas lie between the equatorial rain forests and the semi-deserts of the southern continents. From the herbivore’s viewpoint, the savanna environment is characterized by a mixture of herbaceous and woody vegetation, varying in quantity and growth stage according to the seasonal cycle of rainfall. C4 grasses (i.e. those with the C4 photosynthetic pathway) dominate the herbaceous layer, which...
