How do local habitat management and landscape structure at different spatial scales affect fritillary butterfly distribution on fragmented wetlands? (2008, background): “Experts rank B. selene and B. ino as better dispersers than B. titania, and B. selene as a better disperser than B. ino (Bink 1992; Weidemann 1995; Komonen et al. 2004).”
Long‐term land‐use changes and extinction of specialised butterflies (2008, background): “Species-specific mobility Species-specific mobility estimates of Komonen et al. (2004) were average values of independent estimates on a scale of 0–10 received from thirteen experienced Finnish lepidopterists.”
Geographical variation in wolf spider dispersal behaviour is related to landscape structure (2006, background): “…dispersers, that is, organisms that control the direction and/or distance of dispersal, such as most vertebrate species (e.g. Greenwood et al. 1978; Ims 1990; Sorci et al. 1994; Negro et al. 1997; Massot & Clobert 2000) and winged invertebrates (e.g. Den Boer 1970; Roff 1997; Komonen et al. 2004).”
Contrasting trends of butterfly species preferring semi-natural grasslands, field margins and forest edges in northern Europe (2007, methodology): “We measured larval host plant specificity, and habitat breadth and mobility of the adult butterflies using the values published by Komonen et al. (2004). They listed estimates of these variables for 67 of our 74 focal species.”
Assessing the vulnerability of European butterflies to climate change using multiple criteria (2010, methodology): “Assessments of dispersal ability were based on information obtained from the literature (Bink 1992; Shreeve 1995; Komonen et al. 2004), own field experience, and comparisons with ecologically similar species.”
Species traits explain recent range shifts of Finnish butterflies (2009, methodology): “Because quantitative knowledge of dispersal abilities (obtained from, for example mark–recapture studies) of most Finnish butterflies is still lacking, in this study we applied a mobility index, which was derived from expert evaluations (Komonen et al., 2004).”
Species traits are associated with the quality of bioclimatic models (2008, unknown): “However, as the mobility measure applied in the present work is based on expert evaluations rather than on quantitative work (see Komonen et al., 2004), this relationship might simply imply that expert estimates of mobility are eventually indirectly derived from distributional patterns, i.e.…”
