Quantifying Acacia defences : understanding the role of hooks, spines and architecture by Hempson, Gareth

“…Measurements of a range of thorn and branching parameters of eight Acacia species were used to calculate three indices (stripping, biting and branching) describing different components of Acacia structural defences. These were combined to form an overall defence index that was tested against the results of three feeding simulation tests as well as actual animal feeding rates obtained from trials using nyala held in bomas. …”
