Why study woodpeckers? The significance of woodpeckers in forest ecosystems (2006, background): “Dead wood thresholds were presented for the threetoed woodpecker in Sweden and Switzerland (Bütler et al. 2004).”
Targets for maintenance of dead wood for biodiversity conservation based on extinction thresholds (2006, background): “…increased from 0.10 to 0.95 when the basal area of snags (standing dead wood) increased from 0.6 to 1.3 m2 ha 1 over a 100 ha forest area (1.3 m2 ha 1 corresponds to a volume of snags of 15 m3 ha 1), while in Sweden a smaller basal area of 0.3 0.5 m2 ha 1 was needed (Bütler et al., 2004).”
Reconsidering the importance of harvested forests for the conservation of tree-dwelling bats (2010, background): “non-molecular) analysis of bat dropping contents such as those available for B. barbastellus ( Beck 1995; Rydell et al. 1996; Sierro and Arlettaz 1997) the various moth families featuring in diet are usually not recognised from prey remains.”
Assemblages of wood-inhabiting fungi related to silvicultural management intensity in beech forests in southern Germany (2007, background): “Little can be found in the literature about critical habitat thresholds in forests (Bütler et al. 2004; Ranius and Heding 2001), despite the fact that many studies consider this aspect very important (Bader et al. 1995; Junninen et al. 2006).”
Influence of tree characteristics and forest management on tree microhabitats (2011, background): “This in turn is required to improve our knowledge of the potential ecological value of microhabitats and provide managers with guidelines for the appropriate density of microhabitats or microhabitat-rich tree types within stands (see e.g. Butler et al., 2004; Nilsson et al., 2002).”
Thresholds in Forest Bird Response to Habitat Alteration as Quantitative Targets for Conservation (2005, background): “Bütler et al. (2004) also documented thresholds in snag density associated with the occurrence of the Three-toed Woodpecker (Picoides tridactylus).”
Long-term effects of logging intensity on structures, birds, saproxylic beetles and wood-inhabiting fungi in stands of European beech Fagus sylvatica L. (2007, background): “Hence, Bütler et al. (2004) found a clear connection between the occurrence of the Three-toed Woodpecker and the dead wood amounts in Swiss and Scandinavian spruce forests.”
