• Metapopulations and metacommunities: combining spatial and temporal perspectives in plant ecology (2012, background): “Metapopulation and metacommunity theories occupy a central role in ecology, but can be difficult to apply to plants.”
• The state of plant population modelling in light of environmental change (2008, background): “…crucial importance both for theoretical or applied questions related to the dynamics and survival of species in fragmented landscapes (e.g. Geertsema et al., 2002; Jacquemyn et al., 2003; Kondoh, 2003; Hanski and Gaggiotti, 2004; Snäll et al., 2005; Tews et al., 2006; Körner and Jeltsch, 2008).”
• Colonization and extinction patterns of wood‐decaying fungi in a boreal old‐growth Picea abies forest (2008, methodology): “The parameter α should not be considered as an actual average dispersal distance, but can be used when biological estimates of dispersal patterns are lacking (Hanski, 1999; Snäll et al. 2003, 2005a; Oksanen 2004).”
• Species richness patterns and metapopulation processes – evidence from epiphyte communities in boreo‐nemoral forests (2006, background): “This is in contrast to observations of a high host tree fall rate within the same study forests: up to 8% of the host trees fell over a 6-yr period (Snäll et al. 2005a).”
• Bryophytes in a changing landscape: The hierarchical effects of habitat fragmentation on ecological and evolutionary processes (2007, background): “Thirdly, the fast colonisation-extinction rates, high substrate specificity, and high turnover rates of habitat patches for many bryophyte taxa (Snail et al, 2005; Soderstrom and Herben, 1997) offers the unique opportunity to quantify population parameters, such as patch colonisation and…”
• The influence of tree age and microhabitat quality on the occurrence of crustose lichens associated with old oaks (2008, background): “One example is given by epiphytes, for which individual trees can be regarded as habitat patches potentially supporting local populations (Snäll et al. 2005).”
• Invasibility: the Local mechanism driving community assembly and species diversity (2005, background): “…including productivity (Jiang and Morin 2004, Steiner and Leibold 2004), demographic stochasticity (Tilman 2004), ecosystem size (Fukami 2004), biotic limitation of diversity (Tilman 2004), and even extent of tree lean, the latter which affects colonization success of epiphyes (Snäll et al. 2005).”
• How far and how fast do bryophytes travel at the landscape scale? (2008, background): “Individuals of most species indeed tend to be spatially aggregated rather than uniformly distributed (Snäll et al ., 2003, 2004a, 2005; Löbel et al ., 2006).”
