Drivers of Hirola Antelope Diet Selection in Natural and Managed Habitat in Eastern Kenya. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHirola (Beatragus hunteri) populations in eastern Kenya consumed 17 forage species, favoring the grass Chloris virgata and the forbs Commelina benghalensis and C. diffusa. Nutrient analyses showed that natural habitats offered higher phosphorus, magnesium, and digestibility, whereas managed sites provided more sodium, potassium, and crude protein, with
