Ground spider assemblages as indicators for habitat structure in inland sand ecosystems (2010, background): “Due to their high reproductive rates, invertebrates such as spiders are very good early warning organisms and indicators (Kremen et al. 1993; Blaum et al. 2009).”
How functional is functional? Ecological groupings in terrestrial animal ecology: towards an animal functional type approach (2011, background): “…Szaro 1986; Du Toit and Cumming 1999; Thiollay 1999; Caro and O’Doherty 1999; O’Connell et al. 2000; Miller and Cale 2000; Rodewald and Yahner 2001; Schulze et al. 2004; Barlow and Peres 2004; Blaum et al. 2007, 2009; Todd and Andrews 2008; Klingbeil and Willig 2009; Barbaro and van Halder 2009).”
The impact of shrub encroachment on savanna bird diversity from local to regional scale (2009, unknown): “Seed-eaters and other birds associated with grasses decreased as the percentage of shrubs increased (e.g. Tem-minck’s courser), whereas insectivorous species increased (e.g. Kalahari scrub-robin).”
