• An Evolutionary History of Browsing and Grazing Ungulates (2008, background): “The spatial distribution of the food resource is also different for the different types of herbage, browse being more patchily distributed than grass, and thus browsers and grazers are likely to have a very different perception of food resources in any given ecosystem (see Gordon 2003, for review).”
• The Biomechanics of Chewing and Plant Fracture: Mechanisms and Implications (2007, background): “The key morphological features that determine a tooth’s effectiveness when consuming a particular food, and the relationship between tooth morphology and chewing behaviour for mammals are still poorly understood, despite having received considerable attention (reviewed by Perez-Barberia and Gordon, ”
• Ecosystem and competition impacts of introduced deer (2008, unknown): “In terms of the continuum of digestive physiology from grazers to concentrate selectors (Hofmann 1985; Gordon 2003), most are concentrate specialists.”
• Forest dynamics and ungulate herbivory: from leaf to landscape (2003, background): “Therefore, ‘‘understanding the foraging behavior of herbivores requires us to describe the distribution of bites in the environment’’ ( Gordon, 2003 ).”
• The Morphophysiological Adaptations of Browsing and Grazing Mammals (2008, result): “2001a), the claim of statistical significance is not justified due to the difference in slopes significance disappeared when three small species were excluded; note that according tests (exclusion of certain species) are not performed in other analyses misquoted as the ostium reticulo-omasale (Illiu”
