Large herbivores play unique ecological roles and are disproportionately imperiled by
human activity. As many wild populations dwindle towards extinction, and as interest grows …

Indirect effects of large mammalian herbivores (LMH), while much less studied than those of
apex predators, are increasingly recognized to exert powerful influences on communities …

Large mammalian herbivores are vital components of terrestrial ecosystems, influencing the
plants they feed on, but also serving as ecosystem engineers that impact the occurrence and …

Grazing of both domestic and wild large herbivores can contribute to multiple ecosystem
services. However, grazing systems strongly differ in the intensity of management and …

Increases in nutrient availability and alterations to mammalian herbivore communities are a
hallmark of the Anthropocene, with consequences for the primary producer communities in …

Trophic rewilding is a restoration strategy focusing on the restoration of trophic interactions
to promote self-regulating, biodiverse ecosystems. It has been proposed as an alternative to …

Classic theory holds that the main interaction within the herbivore guild is competition,
based on research focused on co‐occurring, similarly sized species that reduce the quantity …

Grazing by wild and domesticated grazers occurs within many terrestrial ecosystems
worldwide, with positive and negative impacts on biodiversity. Management of grazed lands …

Mammalian herbivores induce changes in the chemical composition, phenology,
distribution, and abundance of the plants they feed on. Consequently, invertebrate …

Even though mammalian herbivores can exert strong indirect effects on other animals by
altering the vegetation, the study of trophic cascades retains a focus on apex predators and …
