Spinescence and Total Phenolic Content Do Not Influence Diet Preference of a Critically Endangered Megaherbivore, but the Mix of Compounds Does.

Journal of chemical ecology - 1 Mar 2021

Scogings Peter F, Demmer Stuart, Hattas Dawood

Abstract excerpt

In contrast to understanding spinescence in savanna woody species, little is known about the functions of plant secondary metabolites (PSM). Negative effects of PSMs on individual animal performance potentially translate into negative effects on herbivore population growth. Hence, understanding PSM functions is important for the conservation of savanna megafauna. We tested the view that black rhinoceros (Diceros...
