Domestic and wild large mammalian herbivores occur on every continent except Antarctica. Through their browsing and grazing, they affect the structure and distribution not only of vegetation, but also of associated fauna. Consequently, the interactions between management practices and herbivore populations influence the biodiversity, structure and dynamics of ecosystems across vast expanses around the globe: signs of human activity that will be detectable for epochs to come.

As a follow-up work to The Ecology of Browsing and Grazing, published in 2008, this new volume presents cutting-edge research on the behaviour, distribution, movement, and direct and indirect impacts of domestic and wild herbivores on terrestrial ecosystems. The respective chapters highlight strategic and applied research on cross-cutting issues in palaeontology and ecology, and provide concrete recommendations on the management of large herbivores to integrate production and conservation in terrestrial systems. Given its scope, the book will appeal to students, researchers and anyone interested in understanding these fascinating wild animals and how they shape the natural world.

Industry Reviews

"The Ecology of Browsing and Grazing II, together with its still-relevant predecessor, The Ecology of Browsing and Grazing, constitute fundamental reading for any student or scholar whose interests are in ungulate ecology and management. The Ecology of Browsing and Grazing II is a welcome addition to my personal collection, and I shall certainly be ordering a copy for our library." (Peter F Scogings, African Journal of Range & Forage Science, June 9, 2020)
