Predicting insect pest status under climate change scenarios: combining experimental data and population dynamics modelling (2009, background): “…if global temperatures increase, the species will shift their geographical ranges closer to the poles or to higher elevations, and increase their population size (Cammell and Knight 1992; Jenkinson et al. 1996; Woiwod 1997; Sutherst 2000; Harrington et al. 2001; Bale et al. 2002; Samways 2005).”
Patch occupancy of grassland specialists: Habitat quality matters more than habitat connectivity (2018, unknown): “Successful habitat management, in general, considers the ecological requirements of different groups of species (Samways, 2005).”
An evaluation of a GARP model as an approach to predicting the spatial distribution of non‐vagile invertebrate species (2006, methodology): “Understanding and delineating species distributions are an important tool used to address numerous issues in ecology, biogeography and evolution (Guisan & Thuiller, 2005) and are fundamental to the conservation of biodiversity (Samways, 2005).”
The role of ants in conservation monitoring: If, when, and how (2006, background): “Some researchers propose that monitoring rare species of conservation concern (Samways, 1994, 2005) or sensitive species such as specialized predators (York, 1994) is the best means to evaluate the impacts of management activities.”
The impact of forest conversion to oil palm on arthropod abundance and biomass in Sabah, Malaysia (2009, background): “…of the overall effects of oil palm expansion on arthropods as they constitute the majority of biomass (Fittkau & Klinge 1973) and biodiversity in tropical ecosystems, carry out crucial ecosystem services (Samways 2005), and can be important pests of oil palm plantations (Mariau et al. 1991).”
Effects of forest fragmentation on species richness and composition of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae and Brachinidae) in urban landscapes (2008, background): “As “stepping stone” habitats (Samways 2005) that connect hilly forests and riverbanks, urban forests would play a role in maintaining landscape heterogeneity and connectivity of habitats for other groups of arthropods, as well as ground beetles.”
Carabids.org – a dynamic online database of ground beetle species traits (Coleoptera, Carabidae) (2014, background): “Although insects represent large parts of the global biodiversity and they often assume key functions in ecosystems (Samways, 2005), databases on insect species traits are still underrepresented.”
Conservation of Grassland Leafhoppers: A Brief Review (2005, background): “Conservationists have only recently started to use invertebrates to assess conservation site quality and as indicator taxa in terrestrial ecosystems (New 1995; Samways 2005).”
