• Network ecology: topological constraints on ecosystem dynamics (2004, background): “It can also be demonstrated that trophic height predicts well extinction risk in many cases (higher level species are more at risk, (34)) and habitat fragmentation also has selective effects on different trophic levels (79).”
• Food webs in space: On the interplay of dynamic instability and spatial processes (2002, background): “For instance, Komonen et al. (2000) studied a food chain based on a bracket fungus, Fomitopsis rosea, which is found solely in oldgrowth boreal forest.”
• Beetle Responses to Habitat Fragmentation Depend on Ecological Traits, Habitat Condition, and Remnant Size (2005, background): “To understand why some species decline after habitat fragmentation, relationships between response and species characteristics such as trophic level (Komonen et al. 2000), body size (Cosson et al. 1999), and dispersal ability (Thomas 2000) have been studied.”
• Effects of habitat fragmentation at different trophic levels in insect communities (2005, background): “These studies include the effects of old growth forest fragmentation on the insects associated with bracket fungus (Komonen et al. 2000), and the insect communities associated with isolated nettle stands in an agricultural landscape (Zabel & Tscharntke 1998).”
• The potential of parasitoid Hymenoptera as bioindicators of arthropod diversity in agricultural grasslands (2011, background): “…groups of arthropods 24 (Gauld & Bolton, 1988; Quicke, 1997), are an important part of agricultural 25 For Peer Review sensitive to habitat fragmentation and environmental changes (Kruess & Tscharntke, 2 1994; Siemann et al. 1998; Lewis & Whitfield, 1999; Komonen et al. 2000; Fraser et 3 al.”
• Ecology of Species Living on Dead Wood - Lessons for Dead Wood Management (2005, background): “In a study on three species representing different trophic levels within a food chain (a bracket fungi, a moth and a specialist parasitoid), it was found that habitat loss and fragmentation truncated the food chains (Komonen et al. 2000).”
• Up or down in space? Uniting the bottom-up versus top-down paradigm and spatial ecology (2007, background): “For example, in fragmented habitats, natural enemies often occupy a smaller proportion of the landscape than their herbivorous hosts (Komonen et al. 2000, van Nouhuys 2005).”
• Plant-insect interactions in fragmented landscapes. (2004, background): “Trophic-level position influences susceptibility of populations to disturbance (96, 117), and the trophic-level hypothesis of island biogeography claims that populations of higher trophic levels are more likely to become extinct (87, 90, 158).”
• Distribution and colonisation ability of three parasitoids and their herbivorous host in a fragmented landscape (2007, background): “diversity of predators and parasitoids are often more strongly affected by habitat fragmentation than the abundance and diversity of the herbivorous hosts, even at the scales of a few hundred metres (Komonen et al., 2000; Kruess & Tscharntke, 1994; Zabel & Tscharntke, 1998), suggesting that third-tr”
• Variable response of different functional groups of saproxylic beetles to substrate manipulation and forest management: Implications for conservation strategies (2007, background): “Parasitoids and predators on early successional beetles are expected to respond more slowly than their prey to changes in their environment (Weslien and Schroeder, 1999; Komonen et al., 2000).”
