Determinants of the biogeographical distribution of butterflies in boreal regions (2006, background): “This underlines the importance of pastures and other semi-natural grasslands, which have drastically declined throughout northwestern Europe, for the occurrence of boreal butterflies (Söderström et al., 2001; Weibull et al., 2003; Bergman et al., 2004; Pöyry et al., 2004).”
Responses of butterfly and moth species to restored cattle grazing in semi-natural grasslands (2005, methodology): “As multiple statistical tests from the same data set can potentially increase the probability of making Type I errors (i.e., rejecting true H0 of no difference between the pasture types), more stringent significance levels with sequential Bonferroni correction were calculated for the tested species…”
Effects of vegetation structure and floristic diversity on detritivore, herbivore and predatory invertebrates within calcareous grasslands (2009, background): “…loss of both invertebrate abundance and species richness, as cutting and grazing results in a loss of key vegetation structures on which invertebrates either feed or utilise as refuges (e.g. Morris 1968; Gibson et al. 1992; Morris 2000; Pöyry et al. 2004; Pöyry et al. 2006; Woodcock et al. 2009).”
Ecological impacts of early 21st century agricultural change in Europe--a review. (2009, background): “Twenty two percent of all threatened species in Finland are dependent on semi-natural grasslands (Poyry et al., 2004), and 60% of butterflies associated primarily with them have declined during the past 50 years (Kuussaari et al., 2007).”
Effects of livestock breed and grazing intensity on biodiversity and production in grazing systems. 4. Effects on animal diversity (2007, background): “…in grazing intensity has been found by Söderström et al. (2001), Kruess and Tscharntke (2002b), Ellis (2003); Franzén and Ranius (2004) and Pöyry et al., 2004; 2005) and for grasshoppers a similar effect has been found by Cherril and Brown (1992); Van Wingerden and Dimmers (1993);…”
Different responses of plants and herbivore insects to a gradient of vegetation height: an indicator of the vertebrate grazing intensity and successional age (2006, background): “Rambo and Faeth (1999) compared diversities of plants and insects among areas that were continuously grazed, short-term ungrazed and long-term ungrazed dry semi-open woodland pastures in SW United States.”
Emerging issues and challenges in conservation of biodiversity in the rangelands of Tanzania (2013, background): “…in Sweden and elsewhere (Batary et al. 2011; Kleijn et al. 2006; Kleijn and Sutherland 2003) favour intensive grazing on the remaining semi-natural grasslands, with strong negative effects on butterfly diversity (Dover et al. 2011; Franzén and Nilsson 2008; Konvicka et al. 2008; Pöyry et al. 2004).”
