The role of grass stems as structural foraging deterrents and their effects on the foraging behaviour of cattle (2006, background): “Because forage intake has consequences for animal fitness and production (e.g., Romney et al., 2000; Smallegange and Brunsting, 2002; Landete-Castillejos et al., 2003), quantifying the effects of resource structure on the rate of forage intake and the shape of the functional response curve (e.g., D”
