Habitat heterogeneity as a driver of ungulate diversity and distribution patterns: interaction of body mass and digestive strategy (2009, methodology): “While we realize that we used a fairly rough classification of habitat quality, grazing lawns or hot-spots are increasingly recognized as key resource areas of savanna grassland systems (Illius & O’Connor, 2000; Grant & Scholes, 2006; Verweij et al., 2006; Archibald, 2008).”
Interactive Effects of Ungulate Herbivores, Soil Fertility, and Variable Rainfall on Ecosystem Processes in a Semi-arid Savanna (2006, positive): “…climatically variable ecosystems, ungulate densities can increase in favorable years to levels that impose ecologically significant levels of defoliation on the plant community in low-rainfall years, thus making the ecosystem more prone to the effects of large herbivores (Illius and O’Connor 2000).”
Savanna glade hotspots: Plant community development and synergy with large herbivores (2012, background): “It has been suggested that wet season carrying capacity is tightly linked to the previous dry season’s carrying capacity (Ilius and O’Connor, 2000), and effectiveness of dry season refuges also may be tightly linked to the previous wet season.”
Biomass use, production, feed efficiencies, and greenhouse gas emissions from global livestock systems (2013, methodology): “Hybrid maps of grassland productivity were developed using rain-use efficiency concepts in drylands (48, 49) and EPIC model output (28) for humid and temperate regions of the world.”
REVIEW: The management of wild large herbivores to meet economic, conservation and environmental objectives (2004, background): “1999; Illius & O’Connor 2000; Palmer et al .”
The response of fawn survival to changes in habitat quality varies according to cohort quality and spatial scale (2005, background): “The work reported here provides further evidence for the existence of ‘key resources’ in the ecology of temperate ungulates: ‘key resources’ (Illius & O’Connor 2000) are resources playing a fundamental role during sensitive periods in population dynamics such as the breeding period for temperate…”
Behavior and nutritional condition buffer a large‐bodied endotherm against direct and indirect effects of climate (2014, background): “During autumn, the relationship between selection for low-cost areas and nutritional condition was reversed for elk in the desert; individuals in the best condition at the end of winter showed the strongest selection for areas that reduced costs of thermoregulation (Fig.”
