Can cattle grazing benefit grassland butterflies?
SK Bussan - Journal of Insect Conservation, 2022 - Springer
Grassland insects face some of the most severe declines in species diversity and total
abundance, in part due to agriculture. Livestock grazing is the largest agricultural land use …

Extreme weather affects colonization–extinction dynamics and the persistence of a threatened butterfly
V Johansson, O Kindvall, J Askling… - Journal of Applied …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Extreme weather events can be expected to increase in frequency in the future. Our
knowledge on how this may affect species persistence is, however, very limited. For reliable …
