Rapid recovery of boreal rove beetle (Staphylinidae) assemblages 16 years after variable retention harvest

Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Post‐harvest recovery of biodiversity is one of important goals in modern forestry. A variable retention (VR) approach has been of particular interest in North America because it promotes rapid faunal recovery, while minimizing negative lasting impacts of logging on the natural fauna.

Hidden island endemic species and their implications for cryptic speciation within soil arthropods

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 1367-1380, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Specialisation to the soil environment is expected to constrain the spatial scale of diversification within animal lineages. In this context, flightless arthropod lineages, adapted to soil environments, but with broad geographical ranges, represent something of an anomaly.

Laboulbeniomycetes (Fungi, Ascomycota) of Denmark

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2021
In this study, the thallus-forming Laboulbeniomycetes (Herpomycetales and Laboulbeniales) from Denmark are presented as an illustrated monograph. Sixteen species and one genus are newly described based on morphology and ecology (host association).

Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1057-1117, June 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...

Revision of the Oriental species of the genus Gnypetalia new status (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae), with a discussion of its phylogenetic relationships

European Journal of Entomology, 2005
The subgenus Gnypetalia Cameron, 1939 is redefined and raised to the genus rank. Eleven valid species are recognised in the genus, six of which are described as new: Gnypetalia armata sp. n. (Solomon Islands), G. cuccodoroi sp. n. (Philippines: Luzon), G.

Core and occasional species: A new way forward

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 15, Page 10547-10565, August 2021., 2021
This paper describes a novel method of dividing ecological communities into species groups based on their relative abundance. It builds on the core–occasional species concept but tackles grouping of species in a completely new, more objective way, with no a priori assumption of the number of groups in a community.

Phylogenetic revision of the New Zealand genus Dasytricheta, with a discussion of its systematic position within the subfamily Aleocharinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2007
The genus Dasytricheta Bernhauer, 1943 is redefined. The genus Pyromecroma Cameron, 1945 is considered a new synonym of Dasytricheta. Eleven valid species are recognised in the genus: Dasytricheta spectabilis Bernhauer, 1943 (the type species of ...

Diversity and phylogenetic community structure across elevation during climate change in a family of hyperdiverse neotropical beetles (Staphylinidae)

Ecography, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 740-752, May 2021., 2021
Environmental stress from abiotic conditions imposes physiological limits on individuals within communities, and these stressful conditions can act as a filter on the species present in any given environment. Such abiotic stressors can reduce a community's diversity and make its composition more phylogenetically clustered. Using a decade of staphylinid

Patterns of richness across forest beetle communities—A methodological comparison of observed and estimated species numbers

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 626-635, January 2021., 2021
The observed number of beetle species considerably under‐represents species richness and the number of shared species between strata and tree species in the Leipzig floodplain forest. Still, richness ranking patterns based on the number of observed species are largely reliable.
