Habitat heterogeneity as a driver of ungulate diversity and distribution patterns: interaction of body mass and digestive strategy (2009, background): “Though impala is regarded as a mixed feeder (Hofmann, 1989), in HiP it predominantly grazes for much of the year and it was, therefore, also included in this study ( > 70% grass in diet (Botha & Stock, 2005); see also Arsenault & Owen-Smith, 2008).”
Strategic management of livestock to improve biodiversity conservation in African savannahs: a conceptual basis for wildlife-livestock coexistence (2016, background): “…are better able to select higher quality, green leaves, while avoiding low-quality stems and dead leaves on taller grasses, whereas broad-mouthed herbivores are more efficient at foraging on short, dense swards of grass (Murray & Illius 2000; Arsenault & Owen-Smith 2008; Codron et al. 2008).”
Resource partitioning along multiple niche dimensions in differently sized African savanna grazers (2011, background): “Also, because they are present in relatively high abundances in many natural ecosystems in Africa, they are an important but commonly overlooked actor in resource partitioning studies (but see Eltringham 1974, de Boer and Prins 1990, Arsenault and Owen-Smith 2008, Cromsigt et al. 2009).”
