| List of contributors Preface Introduction PATRICK DUNCAN, KIELL DANELL, ROGER BERGSTROM AND JOHN PASTOR 1 Large herbivores across biomes HERVE FRITZ AND ANNE LOISON Introduction Definitions of biogeographical and behavioural categories Taxonomic diversity Palaeontology Body size, diversity and distribution Group sizes and feeding types The diversity of mating systems across continents and biomes The occurrence of sexual dimorphism Variations in demographic strategies Conclusions Acknowledgements References 2 Living in a seasonal environment JON MOEN,REIDAR ANDERSEN AND ANDREW ILLIUS Introduction Effects of seasonality on large herbivore life history tactics Energy use in arctic/alpine large herbivores - capital vs. income breeder strategies Effects of climatic variability on population dynamics Effects of seasonality on impact of grazing Effects of global climate change on large herbivore-plant interactions Conclusions Acknowledgements References 3 Linking functional responses and foraging behaviour to population dynamics ANDREW W. ILLIUS Introduction Recent models of functional response Implications of new models of functional responses for foraging and diet optimization Describing the numerical response Diet selection, resource heterogeneity and large herbivore population dynamics Stabilizing and destabilizing influences on large herbivore population dynamics Conclusions Acknowledgements References 4 Impacts of large herbivores on plant community structure and dynamics ALISON J. HESTER, MARGARETA BERGMAN, GLENN R. IASON AND iON MOEN Introduction How do large herbivores directly affect individual plants ? How do plants avoid or respond to large herbivore impacts ? Implications for plant community structure and diversity Conclusions Acknowledgements References 5 Long-term effects of herbivory on plant diversity and functional types in arid ecosystems DAVID WARD Introduction …… 6 The influence of large herbivores on tree recruitment and forest dynamics 7 Large herbivores:missing partners of western European Iight-demanding tree and shrub species? 8 Frugivory in large mammalian herbivores 9 Large herbivoues as sources of disturbance in ecosystems 10 The roles of large herbivores in ecosystem nutrient cycles 11 Large herbivores in heterogeneous grassland ecosystems 12 Modelling of large herbivore-vegetation interactions in a landscape context 13 Effcets of large herbivores on other fauna 14 The future role of large carnivores in terrestrial trophic interactions:the northern temperate view 15 Restoring the functions of grazed ecosystems 16 Themes and future directions in herbivore-ecosysyem interactions and conservation Index |
