Do we need land‐cover data to model species distributions in Europe? (2004, background): “For instance, Martı́n & Lopez (2002) showed that the lizard Lacerta lepida occurred mainly under Quercus forest and understorey low bushes and avoided croplands.”
Application of central-place foraging theory shows the importance of Mediterranean dehesas for the conservation of the cinereous vulture, Aegypius monachus (2005, background): “…maintenance of dehesas while more Wne local management guidelines are performed on the basis of studies on smaller, maybe more sensitive species such as small mammals or birds, lizards and invertebrates (Pulido and Díaz, 1998; RubinoV, 2001; Martín and López, 2002; Roberge and Anglestam, 2004).”
Modelling the impact of agricultural abandonment and wildfires on vertebrate diversity in Mediterranean Europe (2007, background): “The expansion of thick scrubland or forest may result harmful even to scrubland-dwelling reptile species, because they need open sites to expose themselves to the sun for thermoregulation (Martı́n and Lopez 2002).”
European rabbits as ecosystem engineers: warrens increase lizard density and diversity (2009, background): “The very high densities of these two lizard species at warren patches were surprising, since previous studies in dehesa ecosystems have identified their preference for patches with reduced grazing pressure and where shrub encroachment has occurred (Martı́n and López 2002).”
