About this document
Averill Et Al 2016 Biol Invasions - Deer Feeding Selectivity For Invasive Plants by Lucille Elaine Blume is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the feeding selectivity of white-tailed deer for invasive and native plants in the northeastern United States. Results indicate that deer show significant variation in preference based on plant species rather than their native or introduced status, with some invasive plants being avoided while others are preferred. The findings suggest that herbivore selectivity plays a crucial role in the dynamics of plant invasion and biotic resistance.
