abstract：:The ability of ungulates to discriminate among vegetation patches depends largely on the senses of vision, olfaction, tactility, and gustation. However, little is known about how ungulates rely on the respective senses in response to varying patch characteristics. This study aimed to evaluate how relative importance o...
