Chapter 1The Ecology of Browsing and Grazing II

Gordon, Iain J.; Prins, Herbert H. T.

Pages: 1 –4

[Globally, many terrestrial ecosystems have been and are being heavily influenced by human activity, both directly and indirectly. Humanity and our domestic animals (1.4 billion cattle, 1.2 billion sheep and 0.5 billion goats, but only some 120 million horses and 13 million camels;...

Chapter 2The Palaeontology of Browsing and Grazing

Saarinen, Juha

Pages: 5 –59

[Large herbivorous mammals have a long history of adaptation to changing environmental circumstances. Many groups of mammalian herbivores started as omnivores and opportunistic browsers of fruits and other plant parts, later adapting to increasingly specialised leaf browsing, and finally to...

Chapter 3The Paleoecological Impact of Grazing and Browsing: Consequences of the Late Quaternary Large Herbivore Extinctions

Rowan, John; Faith, J. T.

Pages: 61 –79

[As recently as ~50,000 years ago, a great diversity of large-bodied mammalian herbivores (species >44 kg) occupied nearly all of Earth’s terrestrial realms. Outside of sub-Saharan Africa, the vast majority of these species had disappeared by the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary ~11,700 years ago,...

Chapter 4Morphological and Physiological Adaptations for Browsing and Grazing

Codron, Daryl; Hofmann, Reinhold R.; Clauss, Marcus

Pages: 81 –125

[Woody plants and grasses are two functionally distinct food groups that pose different mechanical, nutritional, and ecological challenges to herbivores. Accordingly, herbivores have evolved an array of morphological, physiological, and behavioural life history traits that reflect each species’...

Chapter 5Feeding Ecology of Large Browsing and Grazing Herbivores

Venter, Jan A.; Vermeulen, Mika M.; Brooke, Christopher F.

Pages: 127 –153

[Grazers and browsers are adapted to survive and utilize forage in a wide range of different environments globally. There are major differences in the forage sources they utilize. These differences can be observed from a plant part’s chemical structure up to biome distribution in relation to...

Chapter 6Population Dynamics of Browsing and Grazing Ungulates in the Anthropocene

Kiffner, Christian; Lee, Derek E.

Pages: 155 –179

[In this Chapter, we describe patterns of ungulate population dynamics, intrinsic and extrinsic causal factors underlying population growth, and consequences of variation in these causal factors in the face of anthropogenic change. We group ungulates as grazers and browsers, and review how each...

Chapter 7Community Dynamics of Browsing and Grazing Ungulates

Mishra, Charudutt; Khanyari, Munib; Prins, Herbert H. T.; Suryawanshi, Kulbhushansingh R.

Pages: 181 –196

[The world’s 240 ungulate species belong largely to the same guild, feeding on terrestrial plants, and yet, ungulates typically occur in multi-species assemblages. What allows multiple ungulate species dependent on similar resources to coexist? We focus on the role of variation in ungulate body...

Chapter 8Weather and Climate Impacts on Browsing and Grazing Ungulates

Boone, Randall B.

Pages: 197 –213

[Through selective pressures, weather and climate have shaped the biogeographic and behavioural characteristics of ungulates. For individuals, body condition reflects their integrated acquisition of forage and energy expenditures, which are linked to weather and climate. Thermoregulation is...

Chapter 9Impacts of Browsing and Grazing Ungulates on Soil Biota and Nutrient Dynamics

Sitters, Judith; Andriuzzi, Walter S.

Pages: 215 –236

[Not only do browsing and grazing ungulates impact aboveground vegetation, they also have a strong impact on soil biota and nutrient cycling. Changes in belowground properties and processes may in turn impact aboveground vegetation through various mechanisms, among which availability of water or...

Chapter 10Effects of Grazing and Browsing on Tropical Savanna Vegetation

van Langevelde, Frank; van de Vijver, Claudius A. D. M.; Prins, Herbert H. T.; Groen, Thomas A.

Pages: 237 –257

[In this Chapter we review studies that model the dynamics of tropical savannas and the effects of grazing and browsing on the vegetation. Many empirical studies illustrate the large impact that grazers and browsers can have on savanna vegetation, both directly and indirectly. We summarize this...
