Overcompensation of Ipomopsis aggregata following ungulate herbivory: getting to the root of it
… demonstrating enhanced fitness following herbivory, i.e., plants overcompensate. The mechanistic underpinnings of overcompensation, however, are unclear. For example, it has been assumed that plants growing in high resource conditions are best able to compensate for herbivory. However, …

Interactions between habitat and ungulate herbivory limit the spread of Ipomopsis aggregata (polemoniaceae)
… interactive effects of habitat quality and ungulate herbivory on the fitness of a monocarpic wildflower, scarlet gilia (Ipomopsis aggregata) to further elucidate reasons for its absence in nutrient rich montane meadows in Flagstaff, AZ. Scarlet gilia is commonly found on slopes with …

Current status and impact (2004-2015) of indigenous ungulate herbivory on the vegetation of Sanbona Wildlife Reserve in the Little Karoo
… Africa and the introduction of large indigenous ungulates into confined enclosed areas could alter plant communities and ecosystem processes. This is of particular concern in semi-arid rangelands of the Succulent Karoo where the evolutionary history of grazing is not clear and the compatibility …
