Herbivore grazing—or trampling? Trampling effects by a large ungulate in cold high‐latitude ecosystems
Mammalian herbivores have important top-down effects on ecological processes and landscapes by generating vegetation changes through grazing and trampling. For free-ranging herbivores on large landscapes, trampling is an important ecological factor. However, whereas grazing is widely studied, low-intensity trampling is rarely studied and quantified. The cold-adapted northern tundra reindeer (Ra...
متن کاملWild Herbivore Grazing Enhances Insect Diversity over Livestock Grazing in an African Grassland System
Southern Africa's grassland biodiversity is threatened by habitat transformation such as commercial forestry. Ecological networks (ENs) have been instigated to alleviate the pressure of habitat transformation on local biodiversity. ENs are large scale webs of corridors and patches of natural vegetation criss-crossing production landscapes that can simulate conditions in protected areas (PAs). M...
متن کاملP-224: Mechanisms That Reduce Endometrial Receptivity in Endometriosis
Background: Several studies indicate clear relationship between infertility and endometriosis. However, the etiology of this association is uncertain. Endometrial dysfunction is a possible cause of infertility in women with endometriosis, which could explain the high rates of implantation failure and miscarriages in these women. Delay in endometrial maturation and intrauterine biochemical abnor...
متن کاملComplex spatial group patterns result from different animal communication mechanisms.
We present previously undescribed spatial group patterns that emerge in a one-dimensional hyperbolic model for animal group formation and movement. The patterns result from the assumption that the interactions governing movement depend not only on distance between conspecifics, but also on how individuals receive information about their neighbors and the amount of information received. Some of ...
متن کاملCoping with Spatial Heterogeneity and Temporal Variability in Resources and Risks: Adaptive Movement Behaviour by a Large Grazing Herbivore
Movement is a key mean for mobile species to cope with heterogeneous environments. While in herbivorous mammals large-scale migration has been widely investigated, fine-scale movement responses to local variations in resources and predation risk remain much less studied, especially in savannah environments. We developed a novel approach based on complementary movement metrics (residence time, f...
