Uncut grass refuges mitigate the impact of mechanical meadow harvesting on orthopterans (2012, methodology): “In European low input grasslands, a late cut (after September 1st) is also a safe measure regarding the conservation of orthopteran species that lay their eggs in or near the soil (Gardiner and Hassall, 2009; Humbert et al., 2010c).”
Diversity and trait composition of moths respond to land-use intensification in grasslands: generalists replace specialists (2017, background): “Mowing, on the other hand, being primarily non-selective for plant taxa or functional groups, also induces high disturbance on the arthropod communities with particularly high fatalities on less mobile larval stages feeding on leaves (Humbert et al. 2010).”
