• Inter-specific competition from fallow deer Dama dama reduces habitat quality for the Italian roe deer Capreolus capreolus italicus (2006, background): “Pastor et al. (1999) showed that such long-term modifications in vegetative cover due to the foraging selectivity of ungulates is likely to produce noticeable spatial patterns.”
• The Role of Incentive Programs in Conserving the Snow Leopard (2003, background): “…analyses of body masses of livestock and the TransHimalayan wild herbivore assemblage further suggested that a history of intensive and pervasive livestock grazing may already have precipitated the local extinction of many other wild prey species through competitive exclusion (Mishra et al. 2002).”
• Living with large carnivores: predation on livestock by the snow leopard (Uncia uncia) (2006, background): “This is presumably related to the low diversity (and density) of wild prey available to the snow leopard in Spiti; these have largely been replaced by livestock through overstocking (Mishra et al., 2001, 2002, 2004).”
• Ecosystem and competition impacts of introduced deer (2008, unknown): “…importance of competitive exclusion and character displacement in structuring natural herbivore assemblages is shown by the regular pattern of body-mass increments among sympatric species, where each is a constant proportion larger than the next smallest (Prins and Olff 1998; Mishra et al. 2002).”
• Habitat segregation between sympatric Tibetan argali Ovis ammon hodgsoni and blue sheep Pseudois nayaur in the Indian Trans-Himalaya (2004, background): “, 2000) and blue sheep Pseudois nayaur (Mishra, 2001) in the relatively dry areas of the Indian Himalayan region, but other than theoretically (Mishra et al., 2002) niche separation among wild species has not been addressed in this area.”
• Small mammalian herbivores as mediators of plant community dynamics in the high-altitude arid rangelands of Trans-himalaya (2006, background): “These impose forage limitations on wild species (Bagchi et al., 2004) and lead to their local extinctions (Mishra et al., 2002).”
• Goat grazing, its interactions with other herbivores and biodiversity conservation issues (2012, background): “, 2001, 2004), whereas it is more abundant in neighbouring areas with lower livestock stocking rates (Mishra et al., 2002).”
