Humidity levels drive reproductive modes and phylogenetic diversity of amphibians in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (2012, background): “…of environmental factors in regulating species richness also differs among species groups of the same taxon from different regions (Ricklefs, 2004; Buckley & Jetz, 2007) and among different taxonomic groups from the same biome or geographical region (Similä et al., 2006; Wolters et al., 2006).”
Wood-decaying fungi in the forest: conservation needs and management options (2007, background): “…to increase with the amount of substrate (e.g. Sippola and Renvall 1999; Allen et al. 2000; Humphrey et al. 2000; Edman et al. 2004b; Penttilä et al. 2004; Berglund and Jonsson 2005; Heilmann-Clausen and Christensen 2005; Schmit 2005; Sippola et al. 2005; Similä et al. 2006; Ódor et al. 2006).”
Significance of woodland key habitats for polypore diversity and red-listed species in boreal forests (2008, background): “…dead wood, and the past cutting intensity have been found to aVect species richness of polypores and other saproxylic species in managed forest stands with varying management history (Bader et al. 1995; Sippola et al. 2001, 2004; Penttilä et al. 2004; Junninen and Kouki 2006; Similä et al. 2006).”
Arthropods as bioindicators of sustainable forest management, with a focus on plantation forests (2009, background): “Similä et al. (2006) found only a weak correlation between four taxonomic groups (beetles, polypores, birds, and vascular plants), suggesting that a single taxonomic group might not be a suitable bioindicator of all remaining species in the ecosystem.”
Identifying practical indicators of biodiversity for stand-level management of plantation forests (2008, background): “Forest biodiversity indicators can be developed at the regional or landscape scales for use in forest planning, but stand-scale indicators may be the most practical, as most management operations are carried out at this level (Similä et al. 2006).”
Forest Naturalness in Northern Europe : Perspectives on Processes, Structures and Species Diversity (2011, background): “On the other hand, the presence of some specific structural components is not necessarily a good proxy for naturalness in every site and area (Similä et al. 2006).”
