Breeding Bird Communities Associated With Tallgrass Prairies in Southeast Nebraska
39 Introduction Within Nebraska, the Tallgrass Prairie Ecoregion occupies the approximate eastern one–third of the state and was historically characterized by extensive grassland habitats with scattered areas of upland deciduous forests and savannas, and lowland prairie or deciduous forests along riparian drainages (Kaul et al. 2011, Schneider et al. 2011). A nearly complete conversion of tallg...
متن کاملSpecies traits as predictors of lepidopteran composition in restored and remnant tallgrass prairies.
Restoration ecologists are increasingly turning to the development of trait-filter models, which predict how evolved traits limit species membership within assemblages depending on existing abiotic or biotic constraints, as a tool to explain how species move from a regional species pool into a restored community. Two often untested assumptions of these models, however, are that species traits c...
متن کاملPatterns of Plant Species Diversity in Remnant and Restored Tallgrass Prairies
To restore diversity of native vegetation, we must understand factors responsible for diversity in targeted communities. These factors operate at different spatial scales and may affect the number and relative abundances of species differently. We measured diversity of plant species and functional groups of species in replicated plots within paired restored and remnant (relic) tallgrass prairie...
متن کاملFunctional homogenization of flower visitor communities with urbanization
Land-use intensification and resulting habitat loss are put forward as the main causes of flower visitor decline. However, the impact of urbanization, the prime driver of land-use intensification in Europe, is poorly studied. In particular, our understanding of whether and how it affects the composition and functioning of flower visitor assemblages is scant, yet required to cope with increasing...
متن کاملPlant-Feeding Hemiptera and Orthoptera Communities in Native and Restored Mesic Tallgrass Prairies
Aboveground Hemiptera and Orthoptera communities were compared among three native and three restored mesic tallgrass prairies along the Platte River in central Nebraska to assess both the relative success of restored sites and the relationship between insect and plant communities. Hemiptera and Orthoptera were sampled using sweep nets in early June, mid-July, and mid-August 2000. Plant species ...
