• Microwear evidence for Plio–Pleistocene bovid diets from Makapansgat Limeworks Cave, South Africa (2006, background): “It is well known that bovid diets are considerably more complex than the three dietary groupings suggest, and there are numerous intermediate categories that exist (for review see Gagnon and Chew, 2000).”
• DIETS OF SOUTHERN AFRICAN BOVIDAE: STABLE ISOTOPE EVIDENCE (2003, methodology): “But despite decades of investigation into the nutritional ecology of African bovids, there still exists considerable debate about the diets of many taxa (Gagnon and Chew 2000; Watson and OwenSmith 2000).”
• Feeding ecology and chewing mechanics in hoofed mammals: 3D tribology of enamel wear (2013, background): “grevyi and feeds on fresh short grasses (88%) and up to 12% browse, depending on the season [51–54].”
• Dental Microwear Texture Analysis of Varswater Bovids and Early Pliocene Paleoenvironments of Langebaanweg, Western Cape Province, South Africa (2007, background): “, Hippotragus niger and Oryx gazella) have higher Asfc values (Estes 1991; Kingdon 1997; Fortelius and Solounias 2000; Gagnon and Chew 2000).”
• Dental microwear texture analysis of extant African Bovidae (2012, methodology): “There is a wealth of literature available on modern bovid diets and considerable work has been done to compile this information into a comprehensive system of classifi cation (Gagnon and Chew 2000 ).”
• Habitat segregation between sympatric Tibetan argali Ovis ammon hodgsoni and blue sheep Pseudois nayaur in the Indian Trans-Himalaya (2004, background): “As for the nutritional relationships associated with interspecific differences in body size (Bell, 1971; Gagon & Chew, 2000 ), one would expect blue sheep (relatively smaller) to show a forb-dominated diet and argali a graminoid-dominated diet.”
• Diets of savanna ungulates from stable carbon isotope composition of faeces (2007, background): “Reported dietary contributions of dicots and fruit (e.g. Gagnon & Chew, 2000) were combined to represent total per cent C3 in the diet (see Sponheimer et al., 2003b).”
• Dental microwear of fossil bovids from northern Greece: paleoenvironmental conditions in the eastern Mediterranean during the Messinian (2005, background): “…Hesselton, 1982; Klein, 1982; Lumpkin and Kranz, 1984; Maillard and Picard, 1987; Hoffman, 1989; Estes, 1991; Cichow-ski, 1993; Oleffe et al., 1993; Tixier and Duncan, 1996; Kingdon, 1997; Ramirez et al., 1997; Grenier et al., 1999; Gagnon and Chew, 2000; Mysterud, 2000; Cransac et al., 2001).”
• The Morphophysiological Adaptations of Browsing and Grazing Mammals (2008, background): “However, there is either no correlation (Van Wieren 1996b; Clauss et al. 2003c; Sponheimer et al. 2003, Codron et al. 2007b), or it is very weak (Gagnon and Chew 2000), between BM and the proportion of grass in the natural diet of ruminants.”
• Isotopic dietary reconstructions of Pliocene herbivores at Laetoli: Implications for early hominin paleoecology (2007, background): “…gazelles, dibatag, and gerenuk inhabit desert, grassland, savanna and open woodland biomes (Gentry, 1992), and have diets ranging from variable grazers in Grant's or Thomson's gazelles (Gazella granti and G. thomsoni) to the variable browsing gerenuk (Litocranius walleri) (Gagnon and Chew, 2000).”
• Tooth wear in captive wild ruminant species differs from that of free-ranging conspecifics (2009, background): “The only exception was the greater 21 kudu, a browser (Gagnon and Chew, 2000; Sponheimer et al., 2003) whose natural 22 mesowear pattern already indicates a comparatively high proportion of abrasive 23 dietary elements (Fortelius and Solounias, 2000).”
• DIETS OF EAST AFRICAN BOVIDAE BASED ON STABLE ISOTOPE ANALYSIS (2003, methodology): “This study shows remarkable agreement with the previous compilation of diet estimates of Gagnon and Chew (2000).”
• Characterizing complex craniodental patterns related to feeding behaviour in ungulates: a multivariate approach (2002, background): “…established as < 25% and > 75%, respectively, because we consider that they more accurately re¯ect resource partitioning among herbivores, according to a recent synthesis on diet information for extant African Bovidae based on an extensive survey of the literature (Gagnon & Chew, 2000; Table 3).”
• Nutritional content of savanna plant foods: implications for browser/grazer models of ungulate diversification (2007, background): “It is often assumed, however, that the higher protein/fiber ratios of browse compared to grass imply a higher nutritive value in the former (e.g., Jarman 1974; Demment and Van Soest 1985; Hofmann 1989; Gagnon and Chew 2000).”
