Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 6, Page 2195-2208, December 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Recent advances in ecology and biogeography demonstrate the importance of fire and large herbivores – and challenge the primacy of climate – to our understanding of the distribution, stability, and antiquity of forests and grasslands. Among grassland ecologists, particularly those working in savannas of the seasonally dry tropics, an emerging ...

Free-living greylag geese adjust their heart rates and body core temperatures to season and reproductive context [PDF]
, 2018 Animals adaptively regulate their metabolic rate and hence energy expenditure over the annual cycle to cope with energetic challenges. We studied energy management in greylag geese.

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 182-198, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Restoring functional ecosystems in Europe inter alia requires restoring large mammal (megafauna) diversity and densities to levels well above the current downgraded state, which results from a human‐driven wave of megafauna extinctions and extirpations in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 349-356, January 2022., 2022 Ruminating herbivores differ in their gastrointestinal anatomy and physiology, having adapted to their natural diet. This study investigates differences in calcium and phosphorus metabolism in non‐domestic ruminants and camelids, presenting first data on such species.
