Dorcas gazelle and livestock use of trees according to size in a hyper-arid landscape

摘要: Abstract We examined the relationship between Dorcas gazelle and livestock use of trees according to size. Our data suggest that differs species Larger Acacia are used for territorial purposes whereas smaller may be visited within course grazing. show tree size also determines potential food availability. On shorter trees, gazelles can graze on leafy vegetation at a range heights ground level until top tree. In contrast, taller is available often too high reach. However, larger provide another source not found such as seed pods, which were only radiana trees. There was no significant difference other by gazelles. Goats, camels, donkeys typically associated with regardless species. conservation will require maintaining viable populations characterized recruitment variation sizes ages.
