I'm currently examining how vertebrates can cause disturbances that alter biodiversity within forests. For example, the redistribution of leaf litter and soil disturbances sometimes caused by large herbivores or omnivores (e.g., peccaries, deer, turkeys, chowchillas, cassowaries, etc) that occurs while foraging, nest-building, or during sexual displays. I have amassed about 25 peer-reviewed articles on this subject but I am interested in any very old and very recent publications, important book chapters, any publications distributed by any governmental agency or NGO anywhere in the world or unpublished Master's or dissertations.
Thanks so much for any help. Sincerely, Mike Chips Michael J. Chips University of Pittsburgh Department of Biological Sciences 154 Crawford Hall Pittsburgh, PA 15260
