Taxonomic and Trophic Groups Mediate Latitudinal Variation in Saproxylic Beetle Species Richness and Body Size Across Western Palaearctic Oak Forests. [PDF]
In this study, we examined latitudinal gradients in species richness and body size among 425 saproxylic beetle species from 28 oak forest sites spanning from Israel to Norway. Our analyses show that taxonomic identity and trophic group both mediate latitudinal patterns, with several families displaying mid‐latitude diversity peaks and ...

Spatial distribution of saproxylic beetles on trunks of standing Scots pine trees
Abstract The spatial distribution of saproxylic beetles landing and climbing stems of 12 grown and healthy Scots pine trees (Pinus sylvestris L.) was examined in detail during a 3‐year trial. The beetles were sampled using sticky traps attached to the tree trunk at three tree parts (i.e., the trunk base, middle part of the trunk, and trunk in crown ...

This study evaluated the validity of invertebrate diversity for evaluating the condition of minesite rehabilitation. Because the aim of rehabilitation of mined lands in this region is to establish a self‐sustaining ecosystem that resembles “bushland,” a variety of remnant woodlands in the vicinity of the minesite were selected as reference sites ...

Abstract Aim Desert springs or oases are the only permanent mesic environments in highly water‐limited arid regions. Oases have immense cultural, evolutionary and ecological importance for people and a high number of endemic and relic species. Nevertheless, they are also highly vulnerable ecosystems, with invasive species, overexploitation and climate ...

Coleoptera (Cerambycidae, Cleridae, Languriidae) Overwintering in Stems of Wisconsin Prairie Plants [PDF]
Stem samples of 20 native species of prairie plants were collected in late September, caged separately and kept outdoors over the Wisconsin winter. The samples were then brought into the lab and animals produced from each plant species were inventoried ...
