The Palmer lab is part of a global study to examine the effects of herbivores on plant biodiversity. The study, published recently in Nature Ecology and Evolution (2:1925-1932), was written up in Futurity. This international team of plant and animal scientists synthesized results from large-herbivore exclusion studies across a wide range of habitats around the world. The study allows scientists to predict the likely effects of declining herbivore populations on biodiversity. For more information see https://www.futurity.org/grazing-animals-biodiversity-1909682/
