Ground spider assemblages as indicators for habitat structure in inland sand ecosystems (2010, background): “However, these management actions have to be treated with caution to avoid over-intensive grazing and trampling effects that might cause too strong disturbances to obtain and maintain suitable habitat conditions (Cattin et al. 2003; Dennis et al. 2001; Warui et al. 2005; Maes and Bonte 2006).”
Optimizing grassland management for flower-visiting insects in roadside verges (2009, background): “Paradoxically, direct effects of mowing might therefore harm insects, but our study shows that indirect effects of management are very important in the long run and a lack of management might eventually lead to the disappearance of suitable habitat (Morris, 1981; Fenner and Palmer, 1998; Cattin et a”
Uncut grass refuges mitigate the impact of mechanical meadow harvesting on orthopterans (2012, background): “, 2006), spiders (e.g. Baines et al., 1998; Cattin et al., 2003; Nyffeler and Breene, 1990; Schmidt et al., 2008), plant- and leafhoppers (Auchenorrhyncha) (Nickel and Achtziger, 2005), and many other groups (see Fenner and Palmer, 1998; Hoste-Danylow et al.”
