The loss of vegetation cover has distinct but short-term impact on multiple vertebrate taxa in a grassland ecosystem

Vegetation cover in grasslands typically fluctuates over time, for example, declining with grazing and disappearing entirely with burning. This temporal change in vegetation cover may impact the composition of vertebrate communities by altering habitats or perceived predation pressure. We manipulate...
