• A functional hypothesis of the threat of local extirpation of woody plant species by elephant in Africa (2007, background): “Many private wildlife reserves in southern Africa are derived from degraded livestock areas whose poor grazing during summer can force elephant to subsist year-round on woody vegetation (e.g. Smallie and O’Connor, 2000).”
• Elephant spatial use in wet and dry savannas of southern Africa (2009, background): “African elephants Loxodonta africana alter savannas by reducing the abundance of trees (Barnes, 1983), which may transform woodlands to shrublands (Smallie & O’Connor, 2000; Guldemond & van Aarde, 2008).”
