Effects of altered precipitation on insect community composition and structure in a meadow steppe (2014, background): “Furthermore, altering the rainfall will have different effects on each insect functional guild owing to their different sensitivities to climate change (Voigt et al., 2003), which will influence insect trophic structure.”
North Atlantic climate and northwestern Mediterranean plankton variability (2005, background): “This procedure creates composite independent climate variables and thus avoids spurious correlations inherent in a multivariate design with nonorthogonal climate factors (Voigt et al. 2003) which subsequently also led us to avoid trouble by correlations between the original variables.”
Conservation of Grassland Leafhoppers: A Brief Review (2005, background): “Disruption of trophic relationships because plants, insect herbivores and their natural enemies may respond differently to climate change (Davis et al. 1998; Voigt et al. 2003) could lead to unpredictable and idiosyncratic changes in the distribution and abundance of leafhopper species.”
The Park Grass Experiment 1856–2006: its contribution to ecology (2006, background): “Voigt et al. (2003) found that higher trophic levels were more sensitive to climate than lower ones in grassland communities.”
Using functional groups to investigate community response to environmental changes: two grassland case studies (2007, methodology): “In our analyses, all possible statistical artefacts were excluded (Voigt et al., 2003).”
Shifts in phenology due to global climate change: the need for a yardstick (2005, background): “This fits in with the general finding that there are different rates of change in the phenology of plants, insects, vertebrates (Parmesan & Yohe 2003; Voigt et al. 2003), leading to mistiming or a mismatch.”
Diversity and assemblage structure of phytophagous Hemiptera along a latitudinal gradient: predicting the potential impacts of climate change (2005, background): “Voigt et al. (2003) assessed different trophic levels (producers, herbivores and carnivores) within grassland communities at two sites in Germany over two decades, and concluded that sensitivity to climate increases with higher trophic levels, leading to community destabilization.”
Factors Influencing Bug Diversity (Insecta: Heteroptera) in Semi-Natural Habitats (2004, background): “Species represented by less than five individuals and occurring in only one site were omitted to reduce noise (Voigt et al. 2003).”
Plants in a warmer world (2003, background): “However, long-term data sets on species from different trophic levels show that individualistic responses of species follow less gradual changes in climatic averages but depend on particular, species-specific threshold values (e.g. Visser et al. 1998; Thomas et al. 2001; Visser & Holleman 2001; Voig”
