- Non-indigenous ungulates as a threat to biodiversity (2009, background): “Besides herbivory, the role of non-indigenous ungulates in seed dispersal should also be considered in the context of vegetation dynamics (Gill & Beardall, 2001; Myers et al., 2004; Bartuszevige & Endress, 2008).”
- BirdTrends 2014: trends in numbers, breeding success and survival for UK breeding birds (2014, background): “There is also some concern of the impact of overgrazing by deer (e.g. Gill & Beardall 2001) and canopy closure (Mason 2007), due to changes in woodland management (Hopkins & Kirby 2007) on the low woodland layers, although good evidence from the UK is sparse (but there are some experimental studies…”
- Direct and indirect effects of white-tailed deer in forest ecosystems (2003, background): “Ungulates also disperse parasites (Ostfeld et al., 1996) and seeds ( Gill and Beardall, 2001 ), create concentrated patches of nutrients through urination and defecation (Hobbs, 1996; Persson et al., 2000), and mechanically damage vegetation by trampling and bedding (Persson et al., 2000).”
- Ranking temperate woody species along a gradient of browsing by deer. (2009, background): “Ungulate herbivory affects vegetation at all levels, from individual plant organs to landscape scales (Augustine and DeCalesta, 2003; Weisberg and Bugmann, 2003) with cascade mechanisms impacting trees and shrubs (Gill and Beardall, 2001),”
- Manipulating ungulate herbivory in temperate and boreal forests: effects on vegetation and invertebrates. A systematic review (2018, result): “Among plant groups, only woody vegetation became less species-rich when grazed or browsed, an effect that has been supported by previous meta-analyses restricted to deer impacts [7, 10].”
- Introduced deer reduce native plant cover and facilitate invasion of non-native tree species: evidence for invasional meltdown (2010, neutral): “…arelva@crub.uncoma.edu.ar; andrearelva@gmail.com M. A. Nuñez D. Simberloff Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996, USA while studies exploring subtler or indirect effects of deer are less common (Gill and Beardall 2001; Rooney and Waller 2003).”
- Biodiversity, exotic plant species, and herbivory: The good, the bad, and the ungulate (2007, background): “Nonetheless, it is not certain how important endozoochory is in initiating or increasing invasive plant infestations in natural systems (Gill and Beardall, 2001).”
- Steering the impacts of ungulates on temperate forests (2003, background): “…can result from increasing diversity and improved economic value by ungulates selectively browsing unwanted plant species and by improving germination conditions (seed dispersal, impact of hooves, and droppings); cf. Putman (1986, 1996), Howe & Westley (1988), Wolf (1988), Gill & Beardall (2001).”
- Ecological impacts of increasing numbers of deer in British woodland (2001, background): “The numerical responses of many woodland species to deer pressure will be non-linear (Gill and Beardall, 2001; Fuller, 2001; Stewart, 2001; Watkinson et al., 2001).”
- Dispersal of vascular plants by game in northern Germany. Part I: Roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and wild boar (Sus scrofa) (2004, background): “Until now, both ungulate species have been viewed primarily in the light of herbivory-browsing damage, (Kriebitzsch et al. 2000; Prien 1997; Gill and Beardall 2001).”
