Effects of large herbivores on grassland arthropod diversity
Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of
biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected …

Management of semi-natural grasslands benefiting both plant and insect diversity: The importance of heterogeneity and tradition
Biodiversity of semi-natural grasslands depends on the management practices used.
However, management systems suitable for one taxon, such as plants, can be detrimental to …

Plants, insects and birds in semi-natural pastures in relation to local habitat and landscape factors
The preservation of remaining semi-natural grasslands in Europe has a high conservation
priority. Previously, the effects of artificial fertilisation and grazing intensity on grassland …

Bias in the effect of habitat structure on pitfall traps: an experimental evaluation
Habitat structure has been implicated as a source of bias for pitfall‐trap data but most
evidence is observational or anecdotal. This study used an experimental approach to …

Bottom-up control of carabid beetle communities in early successional wetlands: mediated by vegetation structure or plant diversity?
Two hypotheses of bottom-up control that predict that the species richness of Carabidae will
depend either on the taxonomic diversity of plants (" taxonomic diversity hypothesis") or on …

Distribution and abundance of small insects and arachnids in relation to structural heterogeneity of grazed, indigenous grasslands
1. The species composition and spatial distribution of small insects (Hemiptera, Coleoptera,
Lepidoptera) and arachnids (Araneae, Opiliones, and Pseudoscorpiones) were investigated …

Pitfall trap** in ecological studies
Pitfall trap** is one of the oldest, most frequently used, and simple of all invertebrate
sampling techniques, and yet it is also one of the most frequently misused. This is because …

The influence of grazing intensity and landscape composition on the diversity and abundance of flower-visiting insects
NE Sjödin, J Bengtsson, B Ekbom - Journal of Applied Ecology, 2008 - JSTOR
1. The loss of semi-natural grasslands in agro-ecosystems has increased the importance of
adequate management of remaining grasslands. Recommendations for intensive grazing …

Ecosystem services are social–ecological services in a traditional pastoral system: The case of California's Mediterranean rangelands
When attempting to value ecosystem services and support their production, two critical
aspects may be neglected. The term “ecosystem services” implies that they are a function of …
