Digestively constrained predators evade the cost of interference competition (2004, methodology): “1), or formally: IR long-term = min( IR short-term , d max ) eqn 5 Restricted to herbivores, this model has been formulated earlier by Fryxell (1991), Wilmshurst, Fryxell & Colucci (1999), Wilmshurst, Fryxell & Bergman (2000) and Owen-Smith (2002).”
The concept of overgrazing and its role in management of large herbivores (2006, background): “The smaller Soay sheep are not able to survive on heather, and have no buffer when the main forage is in short supply at high population density (Owen-Smith 2002).”
Precipitation and large herbivorous mammals I: estimates from present-day communities (2010, background): “A number of researchers have shown a relationship between aspects of large mammal herbivore communities and local environmental conditions (e.g. Bell, 1971; Jarman, 1974; Gordon and Illius, 1989; Caughley and Gunn, 1993; Clutton-Brock et al., 1997; Mysterud et al., 2001; Owen-Smith, 2002).”
Digestive bottleneck affects foraging decisions in red knots Calidris canutus. I. Prey choice (2005, background): “The best-known alternative type of diet models that considers a digestive constraint, linear programming models (LPM; Belovsky 1978, 1984, 1986), has been criticised for its inability to consider many prey types and for being circular (Owen-Smith 2002).”
