Orthoptera assemblages of beech stand plots during early succession stages after clearcutting -

“…2). We may deduce these underlying factors: microclimate (Schmidt, Schlagbauer 1965;Schirmel et al 2011), species composition and structure of vegetation (Guido, Gianelle 2001;Marini et al 2008;Schirmel et al 2010) and precipitation amounts (Brust et al 2007).…”

“…C. dorsatus, shifted into the clearcut already in the first year, probably because its potential source habitat was flooded. We may suppose that the local distribution of orthopteran assemblages across the clearcuts was probably influenced by the local vegetation structure (Bergmann, Chaplin 1992;Kati et al 2003;Marini et al 2009b) and microclimate (Schmidt, Schlagbauer 1965).…”

“…On the other hand, forest fragmentation and deforestation can influence positively the species richness in butterflies (Tscharntke et al 2002), birds (Bélisle et al 2001), ants and carabids (Vele et al 2011), orthopterans (Clayton 2002, carabides, syrphids, bees, wasps and spiders (Moretti et al 2004). Important habitats for Orthoptera in forests are clearings (Kati et al 2003), deforested areas (Schmidt, Schlagbauer 1965;Jenni et al 2007;Sliacka et al 2013), and linear corridors in forests (Jordán et al 2003;Theuerkauf, Rouys 2006;Kaňuch et al 2012). Deforestation may result in providing transitory favourable conditions for secondary contacts among heliophilous orthopteran subpopulations (Gerber, Templeton 1996).…”
