Effects of large herbivores on fire regimes and wildfire mitigation
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 12, Page 2690-2702, December 2021., 2021 We conclude that herbivores have the capacity to mitigate wildfire damage, and we provide guidance for grazing management for wildfire mitigation strategies. As areas undergoing land abandonment are particularly prone to wildfires, the maintenance or promotion of grazing by domestic or wild herbivores is a promising tool to reduce wildfire risk in a ...

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 3, Page 696-711, September 2021., 2021 Abstract African rangelands support substantial wildlife populations alongside pastoralists and livestock. Recent wildlife declines are often attributed to competition with livestock over water and grazing, in part because livestock are thought to spatially displace wildlife.

The Catastrophic Decline of Tortoises at a Fenced Natural Area
Wildlife Monographs, Volume 205, Issue 1, Page 1-53, August 2020., 2020 ABSTRACT Agassiz’s desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii), a threatened species of the southwestern United States, has severely declined to the point where 76% of populations in critical habitat (Tortoise Conservation Areas) are below viability. The potential for rapid recovery of wild populations is low because females require 12–20 years to reach ...
