An integrated perspective to explain nitrogen mineralization in grazed ecosystems (2013, background): “…the functioning of grazed ecosystems. p s e 2 ntroduction Large vertebrate herbivores are key determinants of plant comunity composition, productivity and the functioning of many cosystems worldwide (Olff and Ritchie, 1998; Knapp et al., 1999; ardgett and Wardle, 2003; Cromsigt and Kuijper, 2011).”
Landscapes, space and equilibrium: shifting viewpoints (2002, background): “Spatially extended optimal patch foraging theory (Ritchie, 1998), source–sink models (e.g., Pulliam, 1988; Pulliam and Danielson, 1991; Doak, 1996) and metapopulation dynamics (e.g., Hanski, 1991; Hanski and Simberloff, 1997) are all based on these ideas.”
Foraging in patchy grasslands: diet selection by sheep and cattle is affected by the abundance and spatial distribution of preferred species (2002, background): “From a theoretical point of view, recent work with the Optimal Foraging Theory has stressed the need to address constraints on the acquisition and processing of information by the animal [23, 29], which also makes it useful to provide new insights into how the spatial distribution of a preferred res”
Lévy walk patterns in the foraging movements of spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) (2003, methodology): “Fractal geometry has been successful in predicting optimal strategies for foraging on resources that occur in patches of varying size and distribution (Ritchie 1998) and the different scaling relationships existing between body size and home range in different species (Haskell et al.”
Uses and abuses of fractal methodology in ecology (2004, background): “…ecological processes (Keitt 2000) in order to obtain a more realistic understanding of species distributions and diversity extinction thresholds (Hill & Caswell 1999; With & King 1999b), dispersal (With & Crist 1995), competition (Palmer 1992; Lavorel & Chesson 1995) and foraging (Ritchie 1998).”
