Variation in herbivore space use: comparing two savanna ecosystems with different anthrax outbreak patterns in southern Africa

Variation in herbivore space use: comparing two savanna ecosystems with different anthrax outbreak patterns in southern Africa

Abstract Background The distribution of resources can affect animal range sizes, which in turn may alter infectious disease dynamics in heterogenous environments. The risk of pathogen exposure or the spatial extent of outbreaks may vary with host range size. This study examined the range sizes of he...
