Losers, winners, and opportunists: How grassland land‐use intensity affects orthopteran communities (2016, background): “Based on findings from other studies (Hohl et al. 2005, Marini et al. 2008, Branson and Sword 2010, Humbert et al. 2010), we expected intensive land use to decrease orthopteran abundance and diversity, leading to more species being losers than winners within the community, that is, more species…”
Uncut grass refuges mitigate the impact of mechanical meadow harvesting on orthopterans (2012, methodology): “In European low input grasslands, a late cut (after September 1st) is also a safe measure regarding the conservation of orthopteran species that lay their eggs in or near the soil (Gardiner and Hassall, 2009; Humbert et al., 2010c).”
