Carabid beetles are important functional components of many terrestrial ecosystems. Here,
we describe the first long‐term, wide‐scale and quantitative assessment of temporal …

In the past, insect diversity in grasslands showed a severe decline due to management
intensification or abandonment. In this study, we investigate the long‐term influence of …

The stability of grazing-induced spatial patterns of vegetation was analyzed at two spatial
scales (25m× 20m areas and 1.6 m× 0.8 m grids) in pastures of contrasting productivity …

1. Saltmarsh conservation management often involves livestock grazing to maximise plant
diversity and provide suitable breeding habitat for over‐wintering coastal birds. The effect of …

The response of montane and subalpine hay meadow plant and arthropod communities to
the application of liquid manure and aerial irrigation–two novel, rapidly spreading …

New native woodlands are typically created in a small and isolated configuration, potentially
reducing their value as a resource for biodiversity. The use of ecological networks for habitat …

We analysed data collected between 1954 and 2000 from nine long-term experiments
designed to assess the effects of sheep-grazing versus no-sheep-grazing at Moor House …

Calcareous grassland is among the most species rich and diverse habitat in Europe, but has
faced decline due to agricultural intensification and abandonment. In recent years …

Light to moderate grazing in grasslands can create vegetation mosaics of short grazed
vegetation and tall ungrazed vegetation. These mosaics have been proposed to maximize …

Environmental heterogeneity is an important driver of ecological communities. Here, we
assessed the effects of local and landscape spatial environmental heterogeneity on ant …
