Progress toward a list of saproxylic beetles (Coleoptera) in the southeastern USA [PDF]
ZooKeysDeadwood-dependent (saproxylic) insects represent a large proportion of forest biodiversity, are major contributors to ecosystem processes, and are conservation priorities due to their sensitivity to changing forest conditions.

Lower alpha, higher beta, and similar gamma diversity of saproxylic beetles in unmanaged compared to managed Norway spruce stands. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Strong anthropogenic pressures on global forests necessitate that managed forests be evaluated as habitat for biodiversity. The complex pattern of habitat types created in forestry systems is ideal for analyses through the theoretical framework of alpha (

DATASAPROX: standardised dataset from protocolled sampling of saproxylic beetles in continental France and Corsica [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalAs part of the DATASAPROX project, we created an occurrence dataset of the saproxylic beetles from continental France and Corsica focused on protocolled data from flight interception traps.

Verbenone Affects the Behavior of Insect Predators and Other Saproxylic Beetles Differently: Trials Using Pheromone-Baited Bark Beetle Traps [PDF]
InsectsIn our study, we assessed the effects of verbenone, the most widely studied bark beetle aggregation inhibitor, on saproxylic beetles in a Mediterranean pine forest in Tuscany.

Ecology and EvolutionSaproxylic beetles (dead wood‐dependent) are among the organisms that can benefit from the conditions after hurricane disturbances. These positive effects can propagate throughout the food chain, leading to an increase in populations of organisms at ...

The European Zoological Journal, 2021 The potential of forest nature reserves as refuges for biodiversity seems to be overlooked probably due to their small size. These, however, may constitute important safe havens for saproxylic organisms since forest reserves are relatively numerous in ...

Numerical responses of saproxylic beetles to rapid increases in dead wood availability following geometrid moth outbreaks in sub-arctic mountain birch forest. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Saproxylic insects play an important part in decomposing dead wood in healthy forest ecosystems, but little is known about their role in the aftermath of large-scale forest mortality caused by pest insect outbreaks.

Diversity and deadwood-based interaction networks of saproxylic beetles in remnants of riparian cloud forest. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 We studied the saproxylic beetle community inhabiting deadwood in remnants of riparian cloud forests in "La Antigua" basin, in central Veracruz (Mexico).

Ecological Balance in Unmanaged Beech Reserves: Scolytids or Their Natural Saproxylic Beetle Enemies? [PDF]
InsectsThe accumulation of dead wood can serve as a potential source of insect pests, with scolytids being the most frequently discussed group. The aim of this study was to quantify the abundance and species composition of scolytids and their natural saproxylic
