Leston and Koper published in Journal of Urban Ecology (2019) their findings on their study of altering mowing regimes in urban rights-of-ways and their impacts on insect populations. They concluded that “to increase taller butterfly resources while still controlling weeds with urbn ROWs, we recommend reducing management frequency within the interior ROWs while maintaining frequent management along ROW borders that are adjacent to infrastructure.” This would reinforce landscape management recommendations of ‘cues to care’ on the outer edges to improve edge aesthetics of successional landscape approaches as well.
