Human impacts on environment–diversity relationships: evidence for biotic homogenization from butterfly species richness patterns (2007, background): “…intensity leads to the loss of small remnants of natural habitat around field margins that can be critical for maintaining arthropod diversity (Tscharntke et al. , 2002); loss of such habitat remnants can prevent species from recovering from the brink of extinction (Deguise & Kerr, 2004).”
Native Pollinators in Anthropogenic Habitats (2011, background): “Small-bodied pollinators such as insects might require smaller areas in order to achieve minimum viable population sizes, thus making them less sensitive to land-use change (Tscharntke et al. 2002).”
MATRIX COMPOSITION AFFECTS THE SPATIAL ECOLOGY OF A PRAIRIE PLANTHOPPER (2003, background): “Although edge effects can significantly influence species interactions and community structure (Fagan et al. 1999), few studies have examined whether they are matrix dependent (but see Tscharntke et al. 2002, Cronin 2003a).”
Flower plantings increase wild bee abundance and the pollination services provided to a pollination-dependent crop (2014, background): “…flowering resources, but different insect taxa respond to these manipulations in varying ways (Tscharntke et al. 2007; Osborne et al. 2008) and may also respond to habitat at different scales (Steffan-Dewenter et al. 2002) or to the complexity of the surrounding landscape (Tscharntke et al. 2002).”
Vegetation increases the abundance of natural enemies in vineyards (2009, background): “This increased activity at field edges can translate into decreased crop damage in adjacent crops and therefore could provide direct benefits to offset costs (Landis et al., 2000; Tscharntke et al., 2002; Bianchi et al., 2006; Tsitsilas et al., 2006).”
The influences of landscape structure on butterfly distribution and movement: a review (2009, background): “Tscharntke et al. (2002) addressed the issue of whether butterfly species richness was best conserved by protecting many small fragments of grassland biotope or a single large one of the same size (the old SLOSS—Single Large Or Several Small—debate; Game 1980).”
A meta-analysis of bees' responses to anthropogenic disturbance. (2009, background): “On the other hand, many bee species are associated with open habitats (Klemm 1996) and due to their small body size might benefit from even small habitat fragments (Tscharntke et al. 2002).”
Rethinking patch size and isolation effects: the habitat amount hypothesis (2013, background): “This result held true even when authors evaluated only rare, threatened or specialist species groups (McCoy & Mushinsky, 1994; Sætersdal, 1994; Virolainen et al., 1998; Oertli et al., 2002; Tscharntke et al., 2002; Peintinger et al., 2003; Hokkanen et al., 2009).”
Wildflower plantings enhance the abundance of natural enemies and their services in adjacent blueberry fields (2015, background): “The complexity of the surrounding landscape may also affect local insect abundance and diversity in agricultural systems (Tscharntke et al., 2002), while small-scale habitat manipulation may only attract and concentrate natural enemies that are already present in the surrounding landscape (Gurr et a”
How does landscape context contribute to effects of habitat fragmentation on diversity and population density of butterflies? (2003, background): “Effects of landscape context on species–area relationships are mostly unknown (Wiens, 1997; Hanski, 1999; Vandermeer & Carvajal, 2001; Tscharntke et al., 2002).”
Pérdida y fragmentación del hábitat: efecto sobre la conservación de las especies (2006, background): “…insectos, y que cuentan además con ventajas tan relevantes para la conservación de la biodiversidad como una altísima riqueza de especies y de endemismos locales y un papel destacado en el funcionamiento de los ecosistemas (Bierregaard et al., 1997; Didham et al., 1998; Tscharntke et al., 2002).”
THE MATRIX ENHANCES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CORRIDORS AND STEPPING STONES (2004, background): “The presence of other species (i.e., competitors, predators, or mutualists) within habitat patches and the matrix also may significantly alter connectivity (e.g., Fraser et al. 1995, Melian and Bascompte 2002, Tscharntke et al. 2002, Schmitt and Holbrook 2003, Cronin et al. 2004, Denno et al. 2004).”
At what spatial scale do high-quality habitats enhance the diversity of forbs and pollinators in intensively farmed landscapes? (2007, background): “Baur & Erhardt 1995; Robinson & Sutherland 2002; Tscharntke et al . 2002, 2005 ).”
The effects of organic agriculture on biodiversity and abundance: a meta‐analysis (2005, background): “Maintenance of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes will depend on the preservation, restoration and management of such habitats (Stopes et al . 1995; Baudry et al . 2000; Tscharntke et al . 2002 )”
