• Grazing alters insect visitation networks and plant mating systems (2014, unknown): “Such plant community changes can subsequently affect abundance and diversity at higher trophic levels (Vulliamy, Potts & Willmer 2006; Winfree et al. 2009; Woodcock et al. 2009) and alter *Correspondence author.”
• Enhancing floral resources for pollinators in productive agricultural grasslands (2014, background): “The extensive management was intended to provide a summer window to allow the full phenological development of the sward and thus provide flowers for insect pollinators (Potts et al., 2009; Woodcock et al., 2009).”
• The role of resources and risks in regulating wild bee populations. (2011, background): “(135) found that the key predictor of species richness for both phytophagous and predatory trophic levels was sward architecture.”
• Effects of vegetation structure and floristic diversity on detritivore, herbivore and predatory invertebrates within calcareous grasslands (2009, background): “The wide scale loss and degradation of this habitat as a result of agricultural intensification, specifically the loss of traditional grazing practices, use of inorganic fertilisers, conversion to arable agriculture and scrub encroachment, have left much of what remains fragmented and in poor condit”
• Opportunities to enhance pollinator biodiversity in solar parks (2021, background): “Intensity refers to the frequency of cutting and it was suggested that two sward cuts per year (compared to a single cut or no cuts) resulted in a decrease in mixed pollinator species richness [82] whilst decreasing cutting frequency benefitted butterflies [81].”
• Uncut grass refuges mitigate the impact of mechanical meadow harvesting on orthopterans (2012, background): “Sward architecture is also higher in uncut areas, a factor known to promote invertebrate species richness in general (Woodcock et al., 2009).”
