The spatial distribution of birds and carabid beetles in pine plantation forests: the role of landscape composition and structure (2007, unknown): “, 2001) and increase species richness (Magura, 2002), but large-scale woodland fragmentation by agriculture negatively affects large forest species with low mobility (Desender et al.”
Does closure of traditionally managed open woodlands threaten epigeic invertebrates? Effects of coppicing and high deer densities (2008, background): “Many authors recognised that a considerable proportion of temperate woodland biodiversity prefers edge habitats (e.g., carabids: Magura, 2002; birds: Paquet et al., 2006), without addressing the crucial issues where edge species would occur in pre-cultural conditions and why would there be so many…”
The effects of forest patch size and matrix type on changes in carabid beetle assemblages in an urbanized landscape (2008, background): “In some studies, forest edges are supposed to function as source habitats (Pulliam, 1988) or stepping stones (Den Boer, 1990) for small scale dispersal processes after disturbances (Magura, 2002) as edges contain species from both adjacent habitats (Kotze and Samways, 2001).”
Habitat preferences of oak-feeding xylophagous beetles in a temperate woodland: implications for forest history and management (2009, background): “Further, it explains a high diversity of specialised ‘‘edge species’’ in European biota (e.g., Magura 2002).”
