Temporal Changes in Native and Exotic Vegetation and Soil Characteristics following Disturbances by Feral Pigs in a California Grassland (2006, background): “For example, feral goats and sheep on temperate and tropical islands (Coblentz 1978; van Vuren and Coblentz 1987), as well as feral horses and burros in arid habitats of the western U.S. (Cox 1999; Beever and Brussard 2000; Beever et al. 2003), can have large impacts on the ecosystems they invade.”
The impact of feral horses on grassland bird communities in Argentina (2004, background): “…which can be seen as an exception among traditional cattle raising (Knopf, 1996), but is usual in the case of invasive herbivores (Lever, 1994) where the stocking rate is usually not regulated for political or economic reasons (Dobbie et al., 1993; Symanski, 1996; Beever & Brussard, 2000).”
VARIABLE EFFECTS OF FERAL PIG DISTURBANCES ON NATIVE AND EXOTIC PLANTS IN A CALIFORNIA GRASSLAND (2004, background): “In the western United States, grazing by feral horses was shown to reduce the species richness and abundance of grasses and shrubs as well as the abundance of small-mammal burrow entrances (Beever and Brussard 2000, Beever et al. 2003).”
