Written by experts on herbivores of the region, it covers a comprehensive range of topics, including their evolutionary history, behaviour, nutrition, population ecology, patterns of diversity across environmental gradients, roles as seed dispersers and regulators of plant growth and community composition, and their conservation in the face of hunting and global change. Large terrestrial mammalian herbivores play critical roles in ecosystems, serving as regulators of energy and nutrient cycles, modulators of plant community composition and grassland-woodland transitions, agents of seed dispersal, and as prey for large carnivores. Though large herbivores represent a prominent component of mammalian assemblages throughout South and Southeast Asia, today little is known about their roles in the regions? ecosystems.div>. 410 0$aEcological Studies, Analysis and Synthesis,$x2196-971X ;$v225 606 $aAnimal ecology 606 $aAnimal Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015 615 0$aAnimal ecology. 615 14$aAnimal Ecology. 676 $a574.53 702 $aAhrestani$b Farshid$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSankaran$b Mahesh$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253889303321 996 $aEcology of Large Herbivores in South and Southeast Asia$94312038 997 $aUNINA
