Structural indicators of spider communities across the forest plantation cycle (2005, background): “Spider communities are ubiquitous in forest ecosystems, being present from the litter layers to the canopy (Uetz, 1979; Halaj et al., 2000), and hence are ideal for study in forest environments.”
Animal species diversity driven by habitat heterogeneity/diversity: the importance of keystone structures (2004, background): “Given this large heterogeneity and the explicit focus of our study, we did not attempt to provide an in-depth review of definitions of this term.”
The importance of urban backgardens on plant and invertebrate recruitment: a field microcosm experiment (2010, background): “Furthermore, plant diversity is a principle predictor of insect diversity at small spatial scales (e.g., Southwood et al. 1979), and small-scale structural complexity has been shown to be important for tree-dwelling arthropods ( Halaj et al. 2000 ), ground-dwelling arthropods (Byrne 2007; Byrne et a”
Comparison of dwarf mistletoes (Arceuthobium spp., Viscaceae) in the western United States with mistletoes (Amyema spp., Loranthaceae) in Australia—ecological analogs and reciprocal models for ecosystem management (2004, background): “This has been demonstrated in Douglas-fir forests by Halaj et al. (2000) when they compared population numbers of spiders in untreated foliage clusters with those that had been tied together to form clumps.”
Spatiotemporal changes of beetle communities across a tree diversity gradient (2009, background): “…of various tree species itself is an important factor determining niche-availability and the diversity of associated arthropod communities by controlling micro-climate, shelteravailability and accessibility (Southwood et al., 1982; Lawton, 1983; Halaj et al., 1998, 2000; Goßner & Ammer, 2006).”
