Thinking Like a Grassland: Challenges and Opportunities for Biodiversity Conservation in the Great Plains of North America (2019, background): “BTPDs occur in complexes of spatially distinct colonies that typically support hundreds to thousands of individuals, and these colonies are interconnected via occasional dispersal (Hoogland 2006; Davidson et al. 2012).”
Is the loss of Australian digging mammals contributing to a deterioration in ecosystem function (2014, background): “Since bioturbation produces multiple benefits to the overall ecosystem (Eldridge et al. 2009), digging mammals have been recognised as playing a significant role in ecosystems, and their importance for environmental conservation has been highlighted (Davidson et al. 2012).”
The Palaearctic steppe biome: a new synthesis (2016, background): “In the Mongolian steppes, temperature increase in the last decades has exceeded the global average (Dagvadorj et al. 2009; Yue et al. 2013).”
