SUMMARY
The functional roles of large bodied mammals such as elephants (Loxodonta africana and L cyclotis) have been well-documented (e_g, Laws et_al, 1970; Blake et_al, 2009; Campos-Arceiz and Blake, 2011; Ripple et_al, 2015) as have those of large predators (Smith et_al, 2003; Johnson et_al, 2007; Ripple et_al, 2014). Scientific evidence also shows that medium and small mammals can also have significant impacts on ecological function, like seed predation and dispersal, with knock-on effects on vegetation dynamics and the carbon cycle (Colman et_al, 2014; Mills and Letnic, 2018; Schmitz et_al, 2018; Gardner et_al . . .
