• Effects of natural and simulated herbivory on spine lengths of Acacia drepanolobium in Kenya (2003, background): “Other spinescent species exhibit greater spinescence on taller individuals than on shorter individuals (Gleditsia, O’Rourke 1949; Aralia, White 1988), In a previous shoot removal experiment (Gadd et al. 2001), we failed to demonstrate a significant increase in spine length after shoot removal.”
• Are grazing increaser species better tolerators than decreasers? An experimental assessment of defoliation tolerance in eight British grassland species (2005, background): “We realize that tolerance to herbivory is not the only mechanism explaining plant presence/abundance in a particular system and that tolerance and defence mechanisms are not mutually exclusive (Mauricio et al. 1997; Almeida-Cortez et al. 1999; Tiffin & Rausher 1999; Gadd et al. 2001), but we suggest”
• Regulation of shrub dynamics by native browsing ungulates on East African rangeland (2004, result): “Our results are in contrast to findings for browsers such as goats, impala and giraffe in other savannas where browsing either stimulated or had no negative effect on twig growth rates (Pellew 1983b; du Toit et al. 1990; Gowda 1996; Oba & Post 1999; Gadd et al. 2001).”
• Consequences of herbivory by native ungulates for the reproduction of a savanna tree (2007, background): “Although we did not measure lifetime fitness, our results combined with previous efforts in this system (Gadd et al. 2001; Young et al. 2003), suggest the possibility that native herbivores may suppress reproduction of A. drepanolobium by inducing spine growth.”
