Effects of Local Habitat Characteristics and Landscape Context on Grassland Butterfly Diversity (2003, background): “Exotic plant species may provide nectar sources but likely provide few host-plant resources for native butterflies (Kocher & Williams 2000; Ries et al. 2001).”
Limestone Quarries as Refuges for European Xerophilous Butterflies (2003, background): “…of minimal utility for agriculture, forestry, or housing development and thus offer conservation and restoration opportunities (Usher 1979; Morris et al. 1994; Ries et al. 2001), but their biodiversity potential is rarely acknowledged (Brandle et al. 2000; Schulz & Wiegleb 2000; Prach et al. 2001).”
A trans‐national monarch butterfly population model and implications for regional conservation priorities (2017, background): “Roadsides have the potential to provide important habitat but are often mowed and sprayed to reduce forbs (Ries et al., 2001).”
LOW-QUALITY HABITAT CORRIDORS AS MOVEMENT CONDUITS FOR TWO BUTTERFLY SPECIES (2005, background): “However, narrow corridors that may be low in quality, such as hedgerows (e.g., Dover and Sparks 2000), roadside habitats (Ries et al. 2001), and riparian or other buffers, may provide benefits by enhancing connectivity in fragmented landscapes.”
Effects of Frequent Mowing on Survival and Persistence of Forbs Seeded into a Species‐Poor Grassland (2007, background): “Ries et al. (2001) found more butterfly species and more individuals in grasslands containing native forbs than those without.”
Why Did the Snake Cross the Road? Effects of Roads on Movement and Location of Mates by Garter Snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis) (2004, background): “These open areas may provide ecological situations that differ profoundly from those of the surrounding habitat; for example, sun penetration may modify floral composition, nest-site availability, and the like (Ries et al. 2001, Shine et al. 2002, Riitters and Wickham 2003).”
