Plant-insect interactions in fragmented landscapes

T Tscharntke, R Brandl - Annual Reviews in Entomology, 2004 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Population and community ecology need a large-scale perspective because local
patterns (of biodiversity) and processes (trophic interactions) are influenced by the regional …

Characteristics of insect populations on habitat fragments: a mini review

T Tscharntke, I Steffan-Dewenter, A Kruess, C Thies - Ecological research, 2002 - Springer
Modern human-dominated landscapes are typically characterized by intensive land-use and
high levels of habitat destruction, often resulting in sharply contrasted habitat mosaics …

CONTRIBUTION OF SMALL HABITAT FRAGMENTS TO CONSERVATION OF INSECT COMMUNITIES OF GRASSLAND–CROPLAND LANDSCAPES*

T Tscharntke, I Steffan-Dewenter… - Ecological …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Habitat destruction and fragmentation of remaining habitat are major threats to global

How does landscape context contribute to effects of habitat fragmentation on diversity and population density of butterflies?

J Krauss, I Steffan‐Dewenter… - Journal of …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Studies on habitat fragmentation of insect communities mostly ignore the impact of the
surrounding landscape matrix and treat all species equally. In our study, on habitat …

Butterfly and plant specialists suffer from reduced connectivity in fragmented landscapes

SV Brückmann, J Krauss… - Journal of Applied …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Calcareous grasslands are diversity hotspots for plant and butterfly species in Europe, but

The influences of landscape structure on butterfly distribution and movement: a review

J Dover, J Settele - Journal of Insect Conservation, 2009 - Springer
We review the literature on the influence of landscape structure on butterfly distribution and

Island theory, matrix effects and species richness patterns in habitat fragments

WM Cook, KT Lane, BL Foster, RD Holt - Ecology letters, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Island biogeography theory, created initially to study diversity patterns on islands, is often
