[QUOTE="BSH, post: 735732, member: 371"] A number of years ago, I read of about a study done in southern Africa that looked at a phenomenon on a high fence game reserve where the Kudu antelope started to starve to death despite there being plenty of their favourite plant. Study revealed that the the plants that they prefered put out a chemical signal to the neighbouring plants to say that they were being browsed which then resulted in the neighbouring plants releasing chemicals that made their foilage unpleasant to eat as a protection measure.
