When family matters: an analysis of Thelotremataceae (Lichenized Ascomycota: Ostropales) as bioindicators of ecological continuity in tropical forests (2008, methodology): “One approach to assess the conservation status of forest remnants is the concept of ‘ecological continuity’ or, in more general terms, hemeroby or ‘naturalness’ (Rose 1974; Nordén and Appelquist 2001; Brentrup et al. 2002).”
Is local distribution of the epiphytic lichen Lobaria pulmonaria limited by dispersal capacity or habitat quality? (2005, background): “Today, there is an ongoing debate on the use of indicator species and on the concept of forest continuity (e.g. Nilsson et al. 2001; Nordén and Appelqvist 2001; Rolstad et al. 2002).”
Influence of Forest Management on the Species Richness and Composition of Wood-inhabiting Basidiomycetes in Swiss Forests (2005, background): “These species normally live longer and are more competitive, but are weaker in reproduction and have a lower distribution capacity (Nordén and Appelqvist 2001).”
Ecology of Species Living on Dead Wood - Lessons for Dead Wood Management (2005, background): “However, this approach also has been criticized, mainly because of the lack of reliable data correlating potential indicator species with forest continuity (Rolstad et al. 2002) and because the general importance of continuity has been questioned (Nordén and Appelqvist 2001).”
Influence of tree characteristics and forest management on tree microhabitats (2011, background): “…more precise information on taxa or ecological groups that use them for nesting, foraging or other functions (Michel and Winter, 2009; Winter and Moller, 2008), and could partly explain biodiversity variations between managed and unmanaged forests (Hansen et al., 1991; Norden and Appelqvist, 2001).”
Lichens and bryophytes as indicators of old‐growth features in Mediterranean forests (2010, background): “For this reason, it is difficult to understand which factor is more important especially in the selection of indicator species (Nordén & Appelqvist 2001; Rolstad et al. 2002; Burrascano et al. 2008).”
Landscape context affects the success of habitat restoration: large‐scale colonization patterns of saproxylic and fire‐associated species in boreal forests (2012, background): “It is also possible that these groups may have a lower dispersal ability (Edman et al., 2004; Jonsson et al., 2005), thus making them more challenging for restoration-type habitat management (but see also Norden & Appelqvist, 2001).”
Multi‐taxon and forest structure sampling for identification of indicators and monitoring of old‐growth forest (2010, background): “…biological indicators as these indicators change along geographical and ecological gradients to a greater extent than structural features; the use of biological indicators for old-growth forest identification and monitoring is thus a topic of debate (Nordén & Appelqvist 2001; Rolstad et al. 2002).”
A unified measure of the number, volume and diversity of dead trees and the response of fungal communities (2009, background): “…connectivity in the occurrence of dead wood and favourable environmental conditions are critical for long-term persistence of specialized species (Nordén & Appelqvist 2001; Siitonen, Penttilä & Kotiranta 2001; Gu, Heikkilä & Hanski 2002; Penttilä et al. 2006; Jönsson, Edman & Jonsson 2008).”
“Ghosts of the past”: flightless saproxylic weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are relict species in ancient woodlands (2011, background): “Differences in the availability of microhabitats and structures may bias studies that analyse species richness and composition in habitats with a different ecological continuity (Norden and Appelqvist 2001).”
Wood-decaying fungi in the forest: conservation needs and management options (2007, background): “selection exercises based on the presence of diVerent kinds of wood-decaying organisms can give diVerent results (e.g. Virolainen et al. 2000; Nordén and Appelqvist 2001; Saetersdal et al. 2005; Juutinen et al. 2006).”
