To estimate its ecological role as a host plant, its phytophagous arthropod complex was analysed. The analysis is based on field surveys, primarily in the Lake Constance area, as it is an \"old\" stronghold of the alien herb. A total, of 55 sites were investigated in 2007, of which 26 are lake shore sites and 23 ruderal or segetal sites nearby. Other (ruderal) sites are near Mainz (Germany: Rheinland-Pfalz, 4 sites), Heidelberg (Germany: Baden-Wurttemberg, 1 site) and Locamo (Switzerland, Ticino, 1 site). The sites on Lake Constance were investigated four times a year to capture various phytophagous guilds (e.g. external feeders, leaf miners, stem and rootstock inhabitants). The phytophagous insect complex as studied here encompasses 30 species (12 Homoptera, 6 Lepidoptera, 6 Diptera, 5 Heteroptera and 1 Coleoptera) and is consequently significant pourer than that of the native A. vulgaris (181 sp.). 43.3% of these are polyphagous, 30.0% oligophagous (i.e. restricted to Asteraceae), 6.6% are second degree monophagous (i.e. restricted to the genus Artemisia) and 20.0% were found only on A. vulgaris before (first degree monophagous). More than half the species (55.2%) are sap-suckers, while the rest chew on plant tissue. Epiblema foenella (Torticidae), Phytomyza artemisivora (Agromyzidae) and Ttypeta artemisiae (Trypetidae) are the most abundant chewing species. The stem borer E. foenella in particular can have a noticeable effect on the vitality of the plants. Macrosiphoniella artemisiae, M. oblonga and Pleotrichophorus glandulosus are locally abundant aphid species (Aphididae)."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1127/0171-8177/2014/0032"],["dc.identifier.isi","000341280300004"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/34732"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","E Schweizerbartsche Verlagsbuchhandlung"],["dc.relation.issn","0171-8177"],["dc.title","Phytophagous Arthropod Fauna of Chinese Mugwort Artemisia verlotiorum, Lamotte, 1877 (Asteraceae) in Central Europe, particularly the Lake Constance Region"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Little is known about how the surrounding landscape influences fragmentation effects. Here, we focus on the interaction between habitat fragmentation and landscape composition on leafhoppers, a highly diverse group of insects, including many species that are likely to be vulnerable to changes in their environment. We selected 14 small and 14 large fragments of calcareous grassland in Central Germany, differing in isolation from other calcareous grasslands and in composition of the surrounding landscape. Leafhoppers, sampled by sweep netting, were either specialists that depended on calcareous grasslands or generalists that could use the landscape matrix, but still required low-productivity habitats. Increasing habitat isolation reduced leafhopper species richness in simple (dominated by arable crops), but not in complex landscapes. This effect was driven by the generalist species. In simple landscapes, leafhoppers may find it more difficult to reach the next suitable fragment due to a lack of alternative resources during dispersal. Moreover, we found that generalist species richness increased with increasing connectivity on small fragments, whereas it remained stable with increasing connectivity on large fragments. In small, isolated fragments, a higher extinction rate combined with a lower probability of recolonization is thought to cause the reduced species richness. Synthesis and applications. Our results show for the first time that insect species richness can be negatively affected by increasing habitat isolation in simplified but not in complex landscapes and in small but not in large fragments. We provide evidence that mitigating the negative effects of habitat fragmentation needs to take the surrounding landscape into account. Management efforts should prioritize (i) an increase in connectivity of small, isolated fragments, (ii) an increase in connectivity of fragments in simple landscapes and (iii) enhanced dispersal by increasing heterogeneity of both landscape composition and configuration. Moreover, extensive management of fragments by grazing or mowing to increase local habitat quality for leafhoppers would benefit other insect groups as well."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/1365-2664.12056"],["dc.identifier.gro","3149819"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/6519"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","public"],["dc.relation.issn","0021-8901"],["dc.subject","Auchenorrhyncha; connectivity ;generalists; Germany; herbivores; isolation; leafhoppers; landscape context; matrix; specialists"],["dc.title","Landscape composition, connectivity and fragment size drive effects of grassland fragmentation on insect communities"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Here we show that large-scale agriculture in East Germany reduced biodiversity, which has been maintained in West Germany due to >70% longer field edges than those in the East. In contrast, profit per farmland area in the East was 50% higher than that in the West, despite similar yield levels.

Species communities of calcareous grasslands, which are among Europe's most diverse habitats, are severely threatened by the cessation of appropriate traditional management, loss of habitat connectivity and simplification of the surrounding landscape. However, our understanding of these often interrelated factors remains limited, in particular for trait-mediated responses across taxa. Here, we test the independent effects of local management (grazing, mowing and abandonment), habitat connectivity (measured by a connectivity index) and landscape complexity (indicated by the percentage of arable land) on nine taxa: plants, butterflies, bees, grasshoppers, hoverflies, spiders, true bugs, rove beetles and leafhoppers on small semi-natural calcareous grassland remnants (< 1 ha).LocationCentral Germany.MethodsWe use a joint analysis across taxa to identify general and trait-mediated responses (body size and Red List status) in species richness, abundance and community composition.ResultsWe identified three key drivers of local diversity patterns: First, an increasing proportion of arable land from 10% to 80% led to a 29% loss of overall species richness. Second, despite differences between taxa, increasing habitat connectivity generally enhanced species richness. Connectivity effects were more accentuated in the large species per taxon, which can be expected to be good dispersers. Finally, grazing reduced species richness and abundance much more than annual mowing or short-term abandonment (5–15 years), in particular for red-listed species. We attribute this to plant resource removal through overgrazing and trampling.Main conclusionsFor the conservation management of small calcareous grasslands, we advocate an alternating strategy of mowing or lenient grazing and short-term abandonment, prioritizing connected fragments surrounded by diverse landscapes. Despite taxon-specific responses, our study across nine taxa demonstrates universal, trait-mediated effects of management, landscape complexity and connectivity on local biodiversity in fragmented communities."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/ddi.12324"],["dc.identifier.gro","3149889"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/6597"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","1366-9516"],["dc.title","Local and landscape management drive trait-mediated biodiversity of nine taxa on small grassland fragments"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We examined the spillover of carabids, rove beetles and spiders from agricultural lands to protected, high-nature value calcareous grasslands by comparing two neighbourhood types: seven calcareous grasslands neighbouring intensively managed winter wheat fields and seven calcareous grasslands neighbouring intensively managed meadows in Germany. We examined arthropod activity density with repeated pitfall trapping in both the edge and the interior of all three habitat types (14 study sites). All three arthropod groups showed consistently higher activity density in calcareous grasslands adjacent to wheat fields than calcareous grasslands adjacent to meadows, apparently through spillover effects. Activity density of carabids and spiders exhibited a decline from the interior to the edge of the wheat fields and to even lower density at the edge and lowest density in the interior of the calcareous grassland. Carabid spillover from both neighbouring habitats to grasslands was driven by a dominant predatory species, Pterostichus melanarius, whereas Oedothorax apicatus was the dominant contributor to spider spillover from wheat to grasslands. Our results show that neighbourhood identity (wheat or meadow) can shape arthropod density and community composition in semi-natural habitats due to spillover of carabid beetles, spiders and rove beetles from adjacent crop fields. Neighbourhood effects on spillover are thus more accentuated at the cropland-grassland interface compared to the meadow-grassland boundary, with small grasslands being particularly affected due to their high edge-to-interior ratios. Our results suggest that meadows around high-nature value, protected grassland reserves, may be important conservation elements by attenuating arthropod spillover from arable crops. Such spillover may compromise the identity, structure and functioning of endangered communities."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.agee.2016.10.012"],["dc.identifier.gro","3149854"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/6558"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","public"],["dc.relation.issn","0167-8809"],["dc.title","Spillover of arthropods from cropland to protected calcareous grassland – the neighbouring habitat matters"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
