Seasonality of a Diverse Beetle Assemblage Inhabiting Lowland Tropical Rain Forest in Australia (2009, background): “Tropical insect assemblages are renowned for their spatial and temporal complexity and thus remain poorly understood both taxonomically and ecologically (May 1997, Basset et al. 2003; but see Novotný et al. 2002a).”
Monitoring arthropods in a tropical landscape: relative effects of sampling methods and habitat types on trap catches (2009, background): “Adequate inventory of the canopy fauna, often different from that in the understorey within tall closed rainforests (Basset et al. 2003), remains a challenge (Basset et al.”
Bees in the trees: Diverse spring fauna in temperate forest edge canopies (2021, background): “Flying insects may therefore have less reason to distinguish or strongly associate with a given canopy layer in temperate ecosystems (Prinzing and Woas 2003).”
Gall-forming and free-feeding herbivory along vertical gradients in a lowland tropical rainforest: the importance of leaf sclerophylly (2007, background): “Recently, Ribeiro (2003) questioned the pattern reported by previous articles on the basis that xeric canopy vegetation, low and easy to reach, was mainly compared with mesic understorey vegetation (Fernandes and Price 1988, 1991, 1992, Fernandes et al. 1997, Price et al. 1998).”
Arthropod Abundance, Canopy Structure, and Microclimate in a Bornean Lowland Tropical Rain Forest 1 (2006, background): “For example, PPFD transmittance was not generally correlated with arthropod abundances, perhaps because arthropods respond most strongly to abiotic variables related directly to moisture stress, as suggested by Didham and Springate (2002).”
A Comparison of the Beetle (Coleoptera) Fauna Captured at Two Heights Above the Ground in a North American Temperate Deciduous Forest (2007, background): “A number of abiotic and biotic factors influence the vertical distribution patterns of insects (Basset et al., 2003a), but resource availability is perhaps the most important.”
Phylogenetic patterns are not proxies of community assembly mechanisms (they are far better) (2015, background): “…in the Atlantic Ocean lineages seem to be more capable of jumping between islands than between habitat types, i.e. vegetation zones (note that smaller organisms might perceive habitats at a scale much finer than vegetation zones, e.g. litter, tree trunks, tree canopies, e.g. Prinzing & Woas 2003).”
DNA barcoding: how it complements taxonomy, molecular phylogenetics and population genetics. (2007, background): “This project, which was started over 25 years ago by Janzen, Hallwachs and colleagues [9,30,31], has, over the past three years, employed barcoding to create a reference sequence library for more than 25 000 specimens representing > 2000 species of moths and butterﬂies and their parasitoids [7–9 ,…”
