“…The importance of the amounts of larval host plant and adult nectar sources for butterfly abundance (or occupancy) has been demonstrated by numerous studies (e.g. Dennis 1992;Loertscher et al 1995;Clausen et al 2001;Thomas et al 2001;Fleishman et al 2002;Anthes et al 2003;Auckland et al 2004;WallisDeVries 2004).…”

“…metapopulation studies which have compared the explanatory power of two or more groups of predictor variables to explain the variation in species abundance or occupancy, e.g. landscape factors versus local factors (Krauss et al 2003;Bergman et al 2004), or habitat patch size and isolation versus habitat quality factors (Thomas et al 2001;Fleishman et al 2002;Anthes et al 2003;WallisDeVries 2004). Such study designs may provide insufficient information concerning the relative importance of predictors when traditional regression methods are employed to model species-environment data affected by multicollinearity (cf.…”

New insights into butterfly–environment relationships using partitioning methods

Variation partitioning and hierarchical partitioning are novel statistical approaches that provide deeper understanding of the importance of different explanatory variables for biodiversity patterns than traditional regression methods. Using these methods, the variation in occupancy and abundance of the clouded apollo butterfly (Parnassius mnemosyne L.) was decomposed into independent and joint effects of larval and adult food resources, microclimate and habitat quantity. The independent effect of habitat quantity variables (habitat area and connectivity) captured the largest fraction of the variation in the clouded apollo patterns, but habitat connectivity had a major contribution only for occupancy data. The independent effects of resources and microclimate were higher on butterfly abundance than on occupancy. However, a considerable amount of variation in the butterfly patterns was accounted for by the joint effects of predictors and may thus be causally related to two or all three groups of variables. Abundance of the butterfly in the surroundings of the focal grid cell had a significant effect in all analyses, independently of the effects of other predictors. Our results encourage wider applications of partitioning methods in biodiversity studies.

“…The ever more widespread implementation of AES is perceived by many as offering hope for the biodiversity of European grasslands (Fox et al 2006). However, it has often been reported (BALMer & erhArdt 2000, Anthes et al 2003, kLeijn & sutherLAnd 2003, johst et al 2006, kLeijn et al 2006, BAtáry et al 2015) that such hopes with regard to AES may be misplaced if grassland management regulations do not meet the requirements of endangered species or, more generally, if they ignore basic ecological knowledge about how species persist in the managed landscapes (konVickA et al 2008). An inappropriately designed AES can threaten populations of globally endangered species such as minute land snails, whose survival is highly dependent on the conservation status of their habitats.…”

Mowing in agri-environmental schemes (AES) and rare species of Vertigo snails: hope for grasslands but a threat to snails

Four Vertigo species are covered by special forms of protection under Annex II of the Habitats Directive. The habitats of these snails are currently rare in Europe. Since typical conservation practices are ineffective for this ecosystem, support mechanisms for measures maintaining biodiversity have been incorporated into agriculture in the form of agri-environmental schemes (AES). However, an inappropriately designed AES may threaten the survival of populations of globally endangered species such as Vertigo moulinsiana (Dupuy) as mowing and swath removal dates coincide with the snails’ activity period in the upper parts of the mown plants, the majority of their population will be removed from the area along with the harvested swath. In addition, mowing instantaneously and radically alters the habitat’s microclimate. The policy of mowing the total area thus leads to unprecedented habitat homogenisation across the landscape, especially when machine mowers are used. In the case of V. moulinsiana, the best approach would be not to mow the whole area but to leave a part unmown where these snails could live unhindered. Instead of machines, traditional mowing could be implemented, which entails cutting at a greater height above the sedge clump level. This would not destroy the tussock structure and would allow the habitat to recreate itself. In combination with the designation of unmown refuges, the effects of this approach could be quite beneficial to the snails.
