Resource partitioning along multiple niche dimensions in differently sized African savanna grazers (2011, background): “We attribute this difference to a contrast in size of reserve studied and degree and scale of habitat heterogeneity (Owen-Smith 2004, Fryxell et al. 2005, Cromsigt et al. 2009).”
Habitat heterogeneity as a driver of ungulate diversity and distribution patterns: interaction of body mass and digestive strategy (2009, background): “In these small reserves, resource heterogeneity might compensate for reserve extent and the lack of migration opportunities (Owen-Smith, 2004; Fryxell et al ., 2005).”
Behavior and nutritional condition buffer a large‐bodied endotherm against direct and indirect effects of climate (2014, background): “…heterogeneity has a stabilizing or destabilizing effect on population dynamics of large herbivores is uncertain (Illius and O’Connor 2000, Owen-Smith 2004), and may be related to the capacity of individuals to optimize their behavior relative to environmental factors that influence…”
A Meta-Analysis of Human–Wildlife Conflict: South African and Global Perspectives (2016, background): “Although categories (1)–(3) are all herbivores, we distinguished between feeding types (1)–(3) because they differ in forage quality and quantity [56].”
