Abstract
Most general accounts of savanna ecology give little consideration to phytophagous animals (Walter 1971; Schnell 1973; Goodland and Ferri 1979; Sarmiento 1984). The major exception, of course, are African ungulate herbivores, whose impact on savanna and grassland ecosystems has received some attention (McNaughton 1976; Sinclair 1983). Plant-eating insects, on the other hand, are hardly mentioned except as pollinators (Cole 1986).
