- Ecosystem and competition impacts of introduced deer (2008, unknown): “…2005 a ; Gill and Fuller 2007), nest predation rates (Martin and Joron 2003), the abundance and density of invertebrates (Baines et al. 1994; Allombert et al. 2005 b ; Hegland et al. 2005) and the abundance and seed predation activity of small mammals (Flowerdew and Ellwood 2001; Smit et al. 2001).”
- Rapid recovery of mammal fauna in the central Kimberley, northern Australia, following the removal of introduced herbivores. (2011, background): “…can cause soil compaction which affects the habitat quality for burrowing and fossorial mammals, and grazing can also simplify vegetation structure (Smit et al. 2001) in a way that exposes small mammals to increased predation risk (see Fleischner 1994; Keesing 1998; and references therein).”
- To graze or not to graze? Sheep, voles, forestry and nature conservation in the British uplands (2006, background): “According to Smit et al. (2001), small rodents depend on structurally rich vegetation for shelter and large herbivores can have significant effects by reducing the quality of small rodent habitats.”
- Cattle grazing, raptor abundance and small mammal communities in Mediterranean grasslands (2007, background): “Some studies have suggested that reductions in vegetation cover (Schmidt & Olsen, 2003; Smit et al., 2001) or complexity (Eccard et al.”
- Changes in interaction biodiversity induced by an introduced ungulate (2003, background): “Our work adds to a growing literature showing that introduced species can, and often do, alter the properties of communities they invade in multiple ways ( Simberloff 1991; Williamson 1996; Mooney & Hobbs 2000).”
