• How a mega‐grazer copes with the dry season: food and nutrient intake rates by white rhinoceros in the wild (2006, background): “Most studies focusing on food intake rates and nutritional gains have used domestic ungulates (van Wieren 1996; Menard et al . 2002 ) or artificially confined wild ungulates (Renecker & Hudson 1985; Jiang & Hudson 1992; Murray & Brown 1993).”
• Tree colonisation of abandoned arable land after 27 years of horse-grazing: the role of bramble as a facilitator of oak wood regeneration (2003, background): “Horses are typical grazers, preferentially foraging on grassland communities (Duncan, 1983, 1992; Gordon, 1989; Fleurance et al., 2001; Menard et al., 2002).”
• Habitat use of ponies and cattle foraging together in a coastal dune area (2005, methodology): “There was a high dietary overlap throughout the year in our study, which is in line with other studies (Olsen and Hansen, 1977; Krysl et al., 1984; Vulink, 2001; Menard et al., 2002).”
• Foraging behaviour of domestic herbivore species grazing on heathlands associated with improved pasture areas (2013, unknown): “, 1987), equines (Lamoot et al., 2005; Lechner-Doll et al., 1995; Menard et al., 2002; Putman et al., 1987) and sheep (Celaya et al.”
• Effects of livestock breed and grazing intensity on biodiversity and production in grazing systems. 2. Diet selection (2007, background): “Grass and Forage Science, 62, 159–171 cattle or sheep ( Menard et al., 2002 ).”
• Endozoochorous seed dispersal by cattle and horse in a spatially heterogeneous landscape (2005, background): “Cattle and horses prefer grazing of graminoid rich habitats (Duncan 1983; Menard et al. 2002; Table 5). Within habitats horses will select very short grass dominated patches, whereas cattle prefer higher vegetation patches (Menard et al. 2002, Cosyns unpubl.).”
• Patterns of diet and body mass of large ungulates from the Pleistocene of Western Europe, and their relation to vegetation (2016, background): “Observations of extant feral horses and cattle in Europe have shown that horses tend to select highly productive low-growing grasses, whereas cattle include more browse, such as shrubs and forbs, in their diet (Menard et al., 2002).”
• Factors and processes affecting plant biodiversity in permanent grasslands. A review (2011, unknown): “Selective grazing between different plant communities and species has been shown for cattle (Pratt et al. 1986), horses (Ménard et al. 2002), and sheep (Dumont et al. 2002).”
