The Other Grazers: The Interactions of “Non-Charismatic Microfauna” in Rangelands

Abstract

The Society for Range Management's (SRM) Wildlife Habitat Committee organized and facilitated a symposium for SRM's annual meeting in Casper, Wyoming (3-4 Feb. 2003) to focus on the less-considered "other grazers," including worms, insects, rodents, and birds. The purpose of this symposium was to examine the habitat requirements and ecosystem interactions of these diverse invertebrate and vertebrate species inhabiting rangelands. This paper is a synopsis of the eight contributed papers - the titles and authors of which are listed in Table 1. Interested readers may contact the authors for references used in preparing these papers.
