• Habitat thresholds for focal species at multiple scales and forest biodiversity conservation - dead wood as an example (2003, background): “The systematic approach, which we advocate, should also be pursued also for other habitat elements in different forest environments (Angelstam 1998, Nilsson et al. 2001).”
• Restricted dispersal in a flying beetle assessed by telemetry (2008, background): “Thus, in order to preserve O. eremita we need to establish where it occurs in the landscape instead of solely relying on geographical information on the distribution of suitable habitats (Huxel and Hastings 1999; Nilsson et al. 2001).”
• Benefits to biodiversity from developing old-growth conditions in British upland spruce plantations: a review and recommendations (2005, background): “This does not simply mean physical connectivity as Peterken et al. (1992) emphasized; functional connectivity is the key to determining whether species can move between suitable habitat patches ( Lindenmayer et al.”
• Sampling saproxylic beetle assemblages in dead wood logs: comparing window and eclector traps to traditional bark sieving and a refinement (2007, background): “Saproxylic beetles have been proposed as indicator species (Speight 1989; Nilsson et al. 2001) because they are highly dependent on dead wood, and are therefore particularly sensitive to forestry (e.g. Siitonen 2001 and references therein).”
• Dead wood threshold values for the three-toed woodpecker presence in boreal and sub-alpine forest (2004, background): “In the case of conifer-dominated forests, the threetoed woodpecker is a potential umbrella species for which habitat threshold values could be developed (Angelstam, 1998; Mikusinski et al., 2001; Nilsson et al., 2001; Angelstam et al., 2003).”
• Osmoderma eremita as an indicator of species richness of beetles in tree hollows (2002, background): “̈ eremita is usually included in these (e.g. Antonsson and Wadstein 1991; Rundlof and Nilsson 1995; Nilsson et al. 2001).”
• Osmoderma eremita (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae) in Europe (2005, methodology): “Another problem is that to count all hollow and large trees (as in Ranius et al., 2001) or to survey presence or absence of tens of saproxylic insect species (as in Rundlöf & Nilsson, 1995; Nilsson et al., 2001) is expensive and time– consuming.”
• Targets for maintenance of dead wood for biodiversity conservation based on extinction thresholds (2006, background): “Another strategy, which is better in the long run, is to specify the biodiversity goal by identifying umbrella species that represent different assemblages of saproxylic species that depend on certain kinds of dead wood (examples of possible target species are in Nilsson et al., 2001).”
• Is local distribution of the epiphytic lichen Lobaria pulmonaria limited by dispersal capacity or habitat quality? (2005, background): “We agree on the need of further studies of dispersal capacity of species suggested as continuity-indicators (Nilsson et al. 2001).”
• Saproxylic beetles (Coleoptera) using Populus in boreal aspen stands of western Canada: spatiotemporal variation and conservation of assemblages (2004, background): “This coarse woody material (CWM), consisting mainly of snags (standing dead and dying trees), logs (fallen trees, portions of stems, and large branches), stumps, and any root systems that remain, provides a wide array of habitats for a rich community of organisms that is dominated numerically by art”
• Broadleaved tree species in conifer-dominated forestry: Regeneration and limitation of saplings in southern Sweden (2005, methodology): “Forestry based on broadleaves requires integration with conservation work (e.g. Nilsson et al., 2001, 2002).”
• Influence of tree characteristics and forest management on tree microhabitats (2011, result): “Our findings confirm that snags have a predominant role in the availability of tree microhabitats, as earlier studies carried out in other biogeographic areas have emphasized (e.g. Bull et al., 1997; Nilsson et al., 2001).”
