Changes in climate are affecting the distribution and status of species on a global scale,
through alteration of factors including their phenology, growth and ecological interactions …

Pasture-based production systems represent a significant sustainable supplier of animal
source foods worldwide. For such systems, mounting evidence highlights the importance of …

Much of the world's rangeland is dominated by woody species. Competing land uses and
continued encroachment of woody species into non–woody-dominated rangelands have …

Fuel treatments aimed at reducing both horizontal and vertical continuity in fuels are of
paramount importance as a prevention measure against fire propagation. Possible …

Abstract The Common Agricultural Policy supports the use of free-ranging cattle herds to
control woody encroachment and fire hazards in Europe. There is, however, little empirical …

The study was conducted to determine the effect of feeding diets containing Andrographis
paniculata leaves (APL), whole Andrographis paniculata plant (APWP) and a control without …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feeding behaviour of indigenous goats and the
selection drivers of different plant species in a Mediterranean forest rangeland. To achieve …

Herbivores can affect future forest composition by feeding selectivity. At temperature-
sensitive treelines, herbivory can exacerbate or constrain climate-driven distributional shifts …

The sheep and goat industries are growing, but there is a lack of information on landscape
use by small ruminants. Further insight into the movement patterns of sheep and goats will …

The changes in forage availability and the physicochemical variability of plants influence the
diet selection by herbivores. In this study, the foraging behavior of Creole goats was studied …
