Landscape structure and phenotypic plasticity in flight morphology in the butterfly Pararge aegeria (2006, background): “The speckled wood (Pararge aegeria L.) is primarily a woodland butterfly (Higgins and Riley 1993), but it also occurs in fragmented, agricultural landscape with only small and scattered pieces of ‘woodland’ habitat like woodlots and hedgerows (Dover and Sparks 2000, Merckx et al. 2003).”
Improving the biodiversity benefits of hedgerows: How physical characteristics and the proximity of foraging habitat affect the use of linear features by bats (2011, background): “They enhance structural heterogeneity, landscape connectivity and botanical diversity, and provide breeding habitat and food resources for many species of birds, small mammals and invertebrates (Burel, 1996; Dover and Sparks, 2000; Hannon, 2009; Hinsley and Bellamy, 2000; Tattersall et al., 2002; Wh”
Habitats and Resources: The Need for a Resource-based Definition to Conserve Butterflies (2006, unknown): “1996; Dover et al. 1990, 2000; Dover and Sparks 2000; Schneider et al. 2003).”
LOW-QUALITY HABITAT CORRIDORS AS MOVEMENT CONDUITS FOR TWO BUTTERFLY SPECIES (2005, background): “However, narrow corridors that may be low in quality, such as hedgerows (e.g., Dover and Sparks 2000), roadside habitats (Ries et al. 2001), and riparian or other buffers, may provide benefits by enhancing connectivity in fragmented landscapes.”
