• Hay strewing, brush harvesting of seed and soil disturbance as tools for the enhancement of botanical diversity in grasslands (2007, background): “…of this trend has been a reduction in the botanical diversity of grasslands (Blackstock et al., 1999), with resultant losses of associated fauna, such as invertebrates and birds (Siriwardena et al., 1998; Asher et al., 2001; Donald et al., 2001; Báldi et al., 2005; Woodcock et al., 2005). er Ltd.”
• Influence of vegetation clutter on the capacity of ground foraging bats to capture prey (2010, background): “However, where ground vegetation is naturally sparse, grazing may actually be detrimental to the abundance of arthropod prey (Woodcock et al. 2005); and there are types of grassland in which grazing does not decrease ground cover (Todd 2006).”
• Are spiders reacting to local or landscape scale effects in Hungarian pastures (2008, background): “The simple measure of species richness or abundance of a taxonomic group does not provide any information on species composition or dominance relations (Jeanneret et al., 2003a; Woodcock et al., 2005 ).”
• Experimental verification of suction sampler capture efficiency in grasslands of differing vegetation height and structure (2008, background): “In the case of phytophagous species, this will be directly dependent on the spatial distribution of host plants (Woodcock et al. 2005; Crist, Pradhan-Devare & Summerville 2006).”
• Responses of grassland specialist and generalist beetles to management and landscape complexity (2007, background): “Permanent landscape elements, such as grasslands and woodland fragments, play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity in cultivated landscapes by providing habitats or refuges for many species (Duelli, 1997; Jeanneret et al., 2003; Woodcock et al., 2005).”
• 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).”
• Ground spider assemblages as indicators for habitat structure in inland sand ecosystems (2010, background): “…and temporally heterogeneous mosaic of habitats (e.g. short, tall, open, dense vegetation types) should be created to ensure that the ecological needs of invertebrate trophic levels and certain species are met (Morris 2000; Woodcock et al. 2005; Schmidt et al. 2008; Woodcock and Pywell 2009).”
