Asymmetrical responses of forest and “beyond edge” arthropod communities across a forest–grassland ecotone (2014, unknown): “One view has been to preserve forest habitats, discouraging within protected areas all those activities, including traditional land uses such as grazing and logging, considered non-natural disturbances and therefore not forest-friendly (Spitzer et al. 2008; Leroux et al. 2010).”
Ecological specialization matters: long‐term trends in butterfly species richness and assemblage composition depend on multiple functional traits (2015, background): “During the 20th century, deciduous woodlands of lowland temperate Europe have become increasingly dense and shady due to the replacement of millennia-old management techniques by even-aged tall forest stands, with deleterious impacts for butterflies (Warren & Key, 1991; Bergman & Kindvall, 2004; Spi”
Does a minimal intervention approach threaten the biodiversity of protected areas? A multi-taxa short-term response to intervention in temperate oak-dominated forests (2015, background): “…open, sunny, heterogeneous mosaics of forest in various stages of succession, which harboured a high richness of animals and vascular plants (Hédl et al., 2010; Benes et al., 2006; Bengtsson et al., 2000; Bugalho et al., 2011; Spitzer et al., 2008; Vodka and Cizek, 2013; Warren and Thomas, 1992).”
