• Native ungulates of diverse body sizes collectively regulate long‐term woody plant demography and structure of a semi‐arid savanna (2013, background): “Indirect effects of herbivores, such as those arising from changes in grass biomass and the strength of tree–grass competition (Riginos & Young 2007; Riginos 2009), as well as the abundance of other cryptic consumers such as rodents, could be important in some systems for early demographic stages of”
• Consequences of herbivory by native ungulates for the reproduction of a savanna tree (2007, background): “…speculated that other, less visually obvious, phenomena (i.e. reproduction, seedling survival and recruitment) might be equally important as or more important than adult survival in dictating tree abundance (Prins & Van der Jeugd 1993; Midgley & Bond 2001; Goheen et al. 2004; Sankaran et al. 2004).”

• Experimental warming induces degradation of a Tibetan alpine meadow through trophic interactions (2011, background): “2000), where rodents have been shown to exert significant topdown control over vegetation cover and diversity of prairie, grassland, tundra and forest plant communities (Moen et al. 1993; Meserve et al. 2003; Goheen et al. 2004).”
• What controls woodland regeneration after elephants have killed the big trees (2009, unknown): “seedlings in Kenya (Shaw, Keesing & Ostfeld 2002) concluded that invertebrates are the most important mortality factors in that area, while a later study from the same area (Goheen et al. 2004) found that rodents also played an important role in seedling predation.”
