Saproxylic beetles of the Po plain woodlands, Italy [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2014
Forest ecosystems play an important role for the conservation of biodiversity, and for the protection of ecological processes. The Po plain woodlands which once covered the whole Plain, today are reduced in isolated highly threatened remnants by modern ...

Conservation of saproxylic beetles in the Carpathians [PDF]

Research Ideas and Outcomes, 2021
Romanian Carpathians are considered a biodiversity hotspot in Europe, with large forested areas, including old-growth forests. Past forestry practices, such as selective logging resulting in forest high grading and removal of ancient or decaying trees ...

Colonisation potential of the bark beetle (Taphrorychus bicolor) on beech logs and logging residues: ecological context and implications for pest management in forests [PDF]

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6628-6637, July 2026.
Beech residues left in shaded or semi‐shaded conditions pose a substantial risk of local Taphrorychus bicolor population outbreaks. The rapid removal or placement of residues in sun‐exposed locations can help mitigate this risk. Abstract BACKGROUND The bark beetle Taphrorychus bicolor has been traditionally classified as a secondary pest of European ...

The influence of spatial and temporal discontinuities of forest habitats on the current presence of flightless saproxylic beetles. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Flightless saproxylic beetles were selected in order to study the impact of temporal and spatial discontinuity of forests. They were chosen because: (1) they are unable to fly, making them dispersal-limited species, (2) they have a saproxylic diet, which

Taxonomic and Trophic Groups Mediate Latitudinal Variation in Saproxylic Beetle Species Richness and Body Size Across Western Palaearctic Oak Forests [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
We examined latitudinal gradients in species richness and body size of saproxylic beetles across 28 veteran oak forest sites spanning from Israel to Norway.

Saproxylic beetles in non-intervention and coppice-with-standards restoration management in Meerdaal forest (Belgium): an exploratory analysis

IForest, 2016
For many centuries, coppice-with-standards management was applied in the mixed oak stands of Meerdaal forest (Belgium). Over the last century, these stands were gradually converted to high forest.

A preliminary checklist of saproxylic beetles (Coleoptera) in the Hyrcanian forests of Iran, with distributional data [PDF]

Check List, 2022
Saproxylic beetles play a vital role in conservation as indicators of the status of unmanaged forests. In light of the concern regarding the adverse impact of anthropogenic pressure on biodiversity, an essential step in forest conserva-tion strategy is ...

Assemblages of saproxylic beetles on large downed trunks of oak. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2016
AbstractOld living oaks (Quercus robur) are known as a very species‐rich habitat for saproxylic beetles, but it is less clear to what extent such veteran trees differ from an even rarer feature: downed trunks of large oaks. In this study, we set out to sample this habitat, using window traps, with two aims: (1) to describe the variation of assemblages ...

A review of saproxylic beetle intra- and interspecific genetics: current state of the knowledge and perspectives

The European Zoological Journal, 2022
Forests are important habitats that harbor high biodiversity and have great economic value to humans. These ecosystems depend on saproxylic organisms, which play a crucial role in the decomposition of the main substrate of forests – wood.

Saproxylic insects and fungi in deciduous forests along a rural–urban gradient

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Urbanization is increasing worldwide and is regarded a major threat to biodiversity in forests. As consequences of intensive human use, the vegetation structure of naturally growing urban forests and their amount of deadwood can be reduced.
