Comparative Ungulate Diversity and Biomass Change With Human Use and Drought: Implications for Community Stability and Protected Area Prioritization in African Savannas Open
Drought and human use may alter ungulate diversity and biomass in contrasting ways. In African savannas, resource‐dependent grazers such as wildebeest ( Connochaetes taurinus ) and zebra ( Equus quagga ) may decline or disperse as resource…
