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>. 000754564 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 5, 2016). 000754564 650_0 $$aHerbivores$$xEcology$$zSouth Asia. 000754564 650_0 $$aHerbivores$$xEcology$$zSoutheast Asia. 000754564 7001_ $$aAhrestani, Farshid S.$$eeditor. 000754564 7001_ $$aSankaran, Mahesh,$$eeditor. 000754564 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9789401775687 000754564 830_0 $$aEcological studies ;$$vv. 225. 000754564 852__ $$bebk 000754564 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-94-017-7570-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000754564 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:754564$$pGLOBAL_SET 000754564 980__ $$aEBOOK 000754564 980__ $$aBIB 000754564 982__ $$aEbook 000754564 983__ $$aOnline 000754564 994__ $$a92$$bISE
