Elephant-induced structural changes in the vegetation and habitat selection by large herbivores in an African savanna (2011, background): “Indirect mechanisms of facilitation have also been suggested (Young et al., 2005).”
Savanna glade hotspots: Plant community development and synergy with large herbivores (2012, methodology): “When used to estimate relative habitat use, dung counts are at least as reliable as aerial or ground counts (see review by Barnes, 2001 and references contained in Young et al., 2005).”
Lessons on the relationship between livestock husbandry and biodiversity from the Kenya Long-term Exclosure Experiment (KLEE) (2012, background): “In a previous study in KLEE, cattle reduced zebra use of the plots by 44% in the absence of elephants, but cattle reduced zebra use by only 18% in the presence of elephants (Young et al. 2005).”
Goat grazing, its interactions with other herbivores and biodiversity conservation issues (2012, background): “So far, conclusions on the impact of livestock on native ungulates are heterogeneous and highly debated, especially regarding the processes and the outcome of the interactions (e.g. Madhusudan, 2004; Mishra and Rawat, 1998; Young et al., 2005).”
Savanna herbivore dynamics in a livestock-dominated landscape. II: Ecological, conservation, and management implications of predator restoration (2007, background): “Given that their food resources are shared, yet limiting, they are likely to be competing with each other, at least in dry years (see also Young et al., 2005).”
Shared resources between giant panda and sympatric wild and domestic mammals (2015, background): “Resource competition was observed between cattle and zebras in a semi-arid savanna in Laikipia, Kenya (Young et al., 2005).”
