Ecological theory provides strong support for habitat restoration (2017, background): “In addition to plants, habitat connectivity, landscape heterogeneity and habitat area have been shown to be important to diversity of a number of animal groups (Kormann et al., 2015; Rösch et al., 2013; Brückmann et al., 2010).”
Effects of landscape and habitat quality on butterfly communities in pre-alpine calcareous grasslands (2012, background): “Although Brückmann et al. (2010) advise against the use of such complex connectivity measures in community studies, we expect more precise results from functional distances, compared to Euclidean distances, in landscapes with strong differences in permeability of the matrix habitats for butterfly…”
Weed-insect pollinator networks as bio-indicators of ecological sustainability in agriculture. A review (2016, background): “cline of landscape diversity and a loss of biodiversity observed in many taxa, especially for insects and plants (Sotherton 1998; Chamberlain et al. 2000; Benton et al. 2002; Kleijn and Sutherland 2003; Thomas et al. 2004; Tscharntke et al. 2005; Flynn et al. 2009; Brückmann et al. 2010).”
