Large terrestrial mammalian herbivores play critical roles in
ecosystems by acting as regulators of energy and nutrient cycles,
modulators of plant community composition and grassland-woodland
transitions, agents of seed dispersal, and as prey for large
carnivores. Though large herbivores represent a prominent component
of mammalian assemblages throughout South and Southeast Asia,
little is known about their roles in ecosystems in the
region. This volume presents, for the first time, a
collection of studies on the ecology of the rich and diverse large
herbivore assemblages of South and Southeast Asia. Prepared by
experts on herbivores of the region, it covers a comprehensive
range of topics, including their evolutionary history, behavioural,
nutritional, and population ecology, patterns of diversity across
environmental gradients, roles as seed dispersers and regulators of
plant growth, community compositions, and their conservation in the
face of hunting and global change.
