Delaying mowing and leaving uncut refuges boosts orthopterans in extensively managed meadows: Evidence drawn from field-scale experimentation (2013, background): “Nevertheless, the impact of mowing egime on orthopteran density depends on the identity and envionmental requirements of the dominant species, which were in his study mainly generalists (Reinhardt et al., 2005).”
Moving beyond the guild concept: developing a practical functional trait framework for terrestrial beetles (2015, background): “Yet the opposite has been shown for carabids (Kotze & O’Hara, 2003) and other arthropods such as grasshoppers (Reinhardt et al., 2005), with flightless species more likely to decline.”
Uncut grass refuges mitigate the impact of mechanical meadow harvesting on orthopterans (2012, background): “Species of the suborders Ensifera are usually bigger than the species of the suborder Caelifera, their mobility and ecology often differs too and thus they may respond differently to the harvesting regime (Reinhardt et al., 2005).”
