Effects of habitat complexity on forest beetle diversity: do functional groups respond consistently? (2005, methodology): “Degrees of habitat complexity in forests may also affect the composition of fauna assemblages (Gardner et al ., 1995; Lassau & Hochuli, 2004).”
The influence of urban park characteristics on ant (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) communities (2008, unknown): “Studies have shown that increases in soil moisture, canopy cover, and habitat complexity are all associated with decreases in ant diversity and composition (Wang et al. 2001; Gotelli and Ellison 2002; Lassau and Hochuli 2004).”
Post‐fire recovery of Mediterranean ground ant communities follows vegetation and dryness gradients (2006, result): “As in other studies (Retana & Cerdá, 2000; Parr et al., 2004), in this study species richness does not show a significant relationship with vegetation cover (but see York, 1994, and Lassau & Hochuli, 2004, for a negative relationship between ant species richness and vegetation cover).”
Determinants of local spider (Araneidae and Thomisidae) species richness on a regional scale: climate and altitude vs. habitat structure (2007, methodology): “This method has proved to be useful for predicting variations in species richness and the composition of ants ( Lassau & Hochuli, 2004 ), wasps ( Lassau & Hochuli, 2005 ) and beetles ( Lassau et al. , 2005b ).”
Diversity, abundance, and species composition of ants in urban green spaces (2010, unknown): “…species richness, area of canopy vegetation, soil moisture, soil penetrability, leaf litter depth, habitat age, patch size, and degree of habitat disturbance (Andersen 1986; McIntyre et al. 2001; Lassau and Hochuli 2004; Yamaguchi 2004; Philpott et al. 2006; Sadler et al. 2006; Smith et al. 2006).”
Ants, altitude and change in the northern Cape Floristic Region (2006, background): “Furthermore, Robertson (1999) found that reduced litter cover (as a result of fire) might result in a loss of cryptic species (but see also Lassau & Hochuli, 2004).”
