Besides of Macrolepidoptera, we also surveyed Microlepidoptera, small moths rarely considered in community studies. Ordination analyses showed that catches originating from these two treatments differed in species composition, both for all moths and if split to Marcolepidoptera and Microlepidoptera. Our results highlight the necessity of diversified management, including temporary abandonment, to conserve the biodiversity of grassland reserves.
