Bark consumption of creosote bush (Larrea cuneifolia) by cuises (Microcavia australis): effect on branch survival and reproduction

Locally, mammalian herbivores may have significant effects on the abundance and fitness of plant species. This study focuses on the interaction between cuises (Microcavia australis –Rodentia-) and creosote bush (Larrea cuneifolia –Zygophyllacea-), which is a widespread and ecologically dominant eve...
