Changes in conservation value from grasslands to savannas to forests: How a temperate canopy cover gradient affects butterfly community composition.
Temperate savannas and grasslands are globally threatened. In the Midwest United States of America (USA), for example, oak savannas persist today at a small percentage of recent historic coverage. Therefore, restoration of habitats of low and intermediate canopy cover is a landscape conservation pri...
