Species response to the fragmentation and restoration of wet heathlands and associated habitats in High Ardenne (Belgium) – A multi-taxonomic approach ; Réponse des espèces à la fragmentation et la restauration des landes humides et habitats associés en haute Ardenne (Belgique) : une approche multi-taxonomique (thèse de doctorat).

The impact of habitat fragmentation and the success of habitat restoration were studied through a multi-taxonomic approach. The response to landscape structure and/or habitat quality of three taxonomic groups was explored, in (semi-)natural habitats. The three taxonomic groups were complementary, both in terms of their specific life history traits and their place in the food chain. We considered autotrophic species (vascular plants), herbivores (butterflies) and predators (spiders). Life-history traits and species specialization for target habitat were used to refine the analysis. Target habit... Mehr ...
