aReferences used for constructing suggested additional case studies consisting of well-studied long-term pastoralism (including both ethnobotanical and ethnozoological studies). bThe mutualisms among humans (culture), herbivores (livestock species) and plants are enlisted; only the most common species as reported by the authors are provided. cThe authors provide only either ethnobotanical or ethnozoological data.
