Journals and Publications

Large mammalian herbivores sculpt plant communities across savanna landscapes, and their impacts are pronounced around resource hotspots. In their study published in the October issue of Ecological Applications, Titcomb et al. investigated the effects of large herbivores on plant communities around water sources, showing that the degree and direction of plant diversity responses to herbivores depended on soil properties and rainfall. Elephants (Loxodonta africana) such as those pictured here at Mpala Research Centre in Laikipia County, Kenya, are key drivers of plant communities around water sources due to their dependence on water and ability to consume large volumes of plant material.
