Diet Switching by Mammalian Herbivores in Response to Exotic Grass Invasion.
Invasion by exotic grasses is a severe threat to the integrity of grassland ecosystems all over the world. Because grasslands are typically grazed by livestock and wildlife, the invasion is a community process modulated by herbivory. We hypothesized that the invasion of native South American grassla...
