The impacts of large wild grazers on soil carbon persistence are strongly modulated by the environmental context

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wild animals, particularly large mammalian grazers, can influence ecosystem carbon dynamics and soil carbon sequestration. However, we lack a mechanistic understanding of how wild grazer communities influence soil carbon persistence, specifically in terms of the size of

Megafaunal engineering in the tropical rainforest: African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) reduce avian species richness but elevate functional diversity

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our paper investigates the crucial role of African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) on the functioning of rainforest ecosystems, through the lens of bird communities. It reveals that the critically endangered megaherbivores are inextricably linked to survival of another key group imperilled by land‐use change: understory invertivore birds ...

Environmental and human‐related gradients shape the community structure of medium and large terrestrial mammals in a central Amazonian white‐sand Forest

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This novel study examines how environmental and human‐related gradients influence habitat use and the community structure of medium and large terrestrial mammals in Central Amazonian white‐sand forests (campinaranas), one of the naturally rarest and least studied ecosystems in the Amazon region.

Herbivore thermoregulation, movement behaviour and survival during a severe drought in Namibia

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Summary of behavioural and physiological responses of plains zebra (Equus quagga) and blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) during the cool drought, hot drought, and recovery periods in Etosha National Park, Namibia. Arrows illustrate relative changes in movement, while temperature diagrams depict seasonal variation in minimum (Tmin) and maximum ...

Does the resource dispersion hypothesis predict grouping behaviour in a solitary megaherbivore?

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
No authors have evaluated how the resource dispersion hypothesis applies to solitary herbivores although it may explain group formation and contribute to management. We found grouping behaviour of black rhinos, a solitary megaherbivore, largely adhered to predictions associated with the hypothesis, with implications for management of this critically ...
