Do Orthoptera Need Human Land use in Central Europe? The Role of Habitat Patch Size and Linear Corridors in the Białowieża Forest, Poland

摘要: We studied Orthoptera, Dermaptera, and Blattodea of the Bial.owieza Forest (Poland) in order to assess (1) minimum patch size open habitat necessary for each species, (2) role linear corridors as habitat, (3) impact herbivores on diversity by comparing fauna at periods different ungulate densities. Many species occurred farthest clearings from forest edge arable land. Two third smaller than 10,000 m2. Dry 10–40 m width wet 100–200 had a richness that corresponded about Four disappeared Bialowieza when density decreased 20 individuals/km2 (3000 kg/km2 biomass) beginning 20th century 10 (1000 kg/km2) end century. conclude most could survive Central Europe if human land use was replaced intensive grazing browsing wild herbivores.
