• Nutritional composition of the preferred prey of insectivorous birds: popularity reflects quality (2015, unknown): “Changes in diet composition have been implicated in declines of insectivorous birds elsewhere (Britschgi et al. 2006), with dietary composition during the breeding season especially critical (Ramsay and Houston 2003, Arnold et al. 2010, Eeva et al. 2010).”
• A review of the direct and indirect effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on vertebrate wildlife (2014, background): “…Johansson and Blomqvist 1996; Brickle et al. 2000; Moller 2001; Hole et al. 2002; Nagy and Holmes 2004, 2005; Boatman et al. 2004; Morris et al. 2005; Britschgi et al. 2006; Hart et al. 2006; Zanette et al. 2006; Golawski and Meissner 2008; Selås et al. 2008; Dunn et al. 2010; Poulin et al. 2010).”
• Uncut grass refuges mitigate the impact of mechanical meadow harvesting on orthopterans (2012, background): “…on reducing nest losses by leaving refuges or postponing mowing, but should also promote grassland management systems that support a rich and abundant invertebrate community (as well as seed sources) upon which many birds depend (Britschgi et al., 2006; Smith and Jones, 1991; Vickery et al., 2001).”
• Wildflower areas within revitalized agricultural matrices boost small mammal populations but not breeding Barn Owls (2010, background): “During the past decades, flora and fauna within agricultural ecosystems have been radically impoverished due to more intensive production methods (Donald et al. 2001; Benton et al. 2003; Britschgi et al. 2006).”
