The importance of food supply in high‐productivity ecosystems: Short‐term experimental tests with small rodents

2017-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Food availability is considered to be a primary factor affecting animal populations, yet few experimental tests have been performed to evaluate its actual importance in species‐rich ecosystems such as rainforests. It has been suggested that in such systems certain plant species may act as “keystone” resources for animals, but the importance of presumed keystone resources for populations has not been quantified exp...
