Journal article  |  2018  |  JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY

The Jarman-Bell principle seeks to explain why smaller herbivore species tend to select higher-quality forage (high protein and hi..

Ecological specialisation in habitat selection within a macropodid herbivore guild

Sarah Garnick, Julian Di Stefano, Mark A Elgar, Graeme Coulson

Journal article  |  2016  |  OECOLOGIA

Specialist species show stronger resource selection, narrower niches and lower niche overlap than generalist species. We examined ..

Do body size, diet type or residence time explain habitat use in a vertebrate herbivore community?

S Garnick, J Di Stefano, MA Elgar, G Coulson

Journal article  |  2016  |  AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY

Many theories attempt to explain patterns of community organisation among large herbivores. We explored the role of body size, die..

John G Sharp, Sarah Garnick, Mark A Elgar, Graeme Coulson

Journal article  |  2015  |  PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES

Foraging herbivores face twin threats of predation and parasite infection, but the risk of predation has received much more attent..
