Abstract

Sodium (Na) plays a critical role in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. In Na-poor regions, plant consumers may experience Na deficiency and adapt by seeking supplementary Na resources. This can markedly impact animal behavior, space-use, and co-existence, with concomitant impacts on ecosystems. Many studies have noted that Na-seeking behaviors, such as soil consumption from mineral licks, are predominately observed for larger-bodied herbivores. However, the mechanisms that drive interspecific variation in Na deficiency and mi
