The impact of mowing as a management strategy for wet meadows on spider (Araneae) communities (2003, background): “A review of management effects on spider communities in grassland can be found in Bell et al. (2001). The Grande Cariçaie, located at the south shore of Lake Neuchâtel (Switzerland), is a site of international importance for nature conservation (Ramsar Convention).”
Are spiders reacting to local or landscape scale effects in Hungarian pastures (2008, background): “We agree with Bell et al. (2001) that as the intensity decreases it provides more complex habitats and niches for web-building and climbing spiders.”
Determinants of local spider (Araneidae and Thomisidae) species richness on a regional scale: climate and altitude vs. habitat structure (2007, background): “Bell et al. (2001) reviewed how both intensity and type of management in grasslands and heathlands affect spider assemblages, and recommended preserving natural cover in conditions of intensive habitat pressure (grazing, cutting, etc.).”
Ground spider assemblages as indicators for habitat structure in inland sand ecosystems (2010, background): “Extreme management measures like burning can be an alternative (Collins et al. 1996; Buddle et al. 2000; Kaiser 2004; Schmidt and Melber 2004) but should be treated with caution (Bell et al. 2001).”
Effects of livestock grazing on aboveground insect communities in semi-arid grasslands of southeastern Arizona (2006, background): “The most extensive research on the effects of livestock grazing on grassland invertebrate communities has taken place in Europe.”
Effects of land management on the abundance and richness of spiders (Araneae): A meta-analysis (2011, background): “Previous narrative reviews have shown decreases of spider diversity due to grazing (Bell et al., 2001), heavy trampling (Bell et al., 2001), cutting (Bell et al., 2001), herbicide spraying (Bell et al., 2001), pesticide use (Luczak, 1979; Riechert, 1998), field improving (Bell et al., 2001) or…”
