Climate‐driven change in plant–insect interactions along elevation gradients (2014, background): “1d) and are associated with a lesser diverse community of herbivores (Brandle & Roland 2001), than deciduous species from lower elevations.”
Diversity of Interactions: A Metric for Studies of Biodiversity (2010, background): “…Yanayacu Biological Station & Center for Creative Studies, c/o Foch 721 y Amazonas, Quito, Ecuador 4 Department of Biological Sciences, Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio 45435, U.S.A. 5 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana 70118, U.S.A.”
Saproxylic beetles as indicator species for dead-wood amount and temperature in European beech forests (2012, unknown): “results of Brändle and Brandl (2001), who found a limited number of phytophagous species in Germany associated with beech (44 species) compared to the number associated with oak (252 species) or spruce (75 species).”
From communities to continents: beta diversity of herbivorous insects (2005, background): “Insect distribution patterns on islands and air screening over oceans indicate that long distance dispersal by wind is common in many insect taxa (Miller 1997).”
Increased openness around retained oaks increases species richness of saproxylic beetles (2012, background): “This include, e.g. many saproxylic insect species (Jonsell et al. 1998; Brändle and Brandl 2001; Berg et al. 1994), among which beetles are a large group.”
Species richness of herbivores on exotic host plants increases with time since introduction of the host (2008, background): “Comparing insect herbivores recorded on tree genera native to Germany (for data source see Brändle & Brandl, 2001) with data collected during the present study for native woody plants (averaged across species within host genera) showed significant positive correlations (Macrolepidoptera: r = 0.62,…”
Tree diversity is key for promoting the diversity and abundance of forest‐associated taxa in Europe (2020, background): “Moreover, it is well known in European forests that the number of insect herbivores species, and specifically defoliators like Lepidoptera, is significantly lower on conifer than on broadleaved species (Kennedy and Southwood 1984, Brändle and Brandl 2001).”
Increasing temperature may compensate for lower amounts of dead wood in driving richness of saproxylic beetles (2015, background): “Trans-biome analyses are often hindered by species turnover of the dominant tree species (conifers, broadleaves), which seriously affects the species richness of phytophagous communities (Brändle and Brandl 2001).”
Insects on Plants: Diversity of Herbivore Assemblages Revisited (2005, background): “For German tree genera, host area, size, and postglacial age of establishment explained 88% of variation in herbivore richness (Brändle & Brandl 2001), whereas taxonomic relatedness did not contribute to the multipleregression model.”
Deadwood enrichment in European forests – Which tree species should be used to promote saproxylic beetle diversity? (2016, unknown): “Our results are in line with studies showing that species richness of herbivores on trees varies greatly among tree species (Brändle and Brandl, 2001) which also applies to saproxylic beetles (Müller et al., 2015b).”
