Alternative silvicultural practices in irregular boreal forests: response of beetle assemblages

Silva Fennica, 2011
In the process of implementing sustainable management in the eastern Canadian boreal forest, we tested two selection cutting methods and compared them with two widely used practices in the boreal forest: clearcutting with protection of the advanced ...

Exposure elevation and forest structure predict the abundance of saproxylic beetles’ communities in mountain managed beech forests

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2023
In the managed beech forests of Central Italy (Molise), the diversity of saproxylic species is potentially under threat by intensive management. To evaluate the impact of forestry on the biodiversity of these ecosystems, we analyzed the relationship ...

Impact of habitat associations on saproxylic beetle assemblages and their damage severity. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Abstract Saproxylic beetles, as primary decomposers in forest ecosystems, play a crucial role in the decomposition of dead wood. However, there is a significant gap in understanding the extent of assemblages and damage caused by these insects, which is essential for managing the quality and utilization of dead wood resources in natural ...

Saproxylic Darkling beetles (Coleopteria: Tenebrionidae) from the Republic of Moldova

Present Environment and Sustainable Development, 2022
Species diversity of saproxilic coleoptera from the Tenebrionidae family collected during 2005 – 2022 years, cited in previous papers and stored in the collections of three entomological museums from the Republic of Moldova was studied. A total of 21 species belonging to 19 genera and 3 subfamilies were identified.

Saproxylic beetles (Insecta, Coleoptera) of Greece: A synthesis of diversity, biogeography and conservation challenges, with the first national checklist [PDF]

Frontiers of Biogeography
Saproxylic Coleoptera are beetles that depend on, or contribute to, the decomposition of dead wood. They are often used as indicators of forest quality and attract substantial conservation interest.

Diversity of saproxylic beetle communities in chestnut agroforestry systems [PDF]

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2020
Abstract: Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) has been exploited over the centuries for different uses. Nowadays, chestnut is mostly managed as coppice or orchard, creating a matrix of different forest structures. In particular, saproxylic species may provide information to correlate forest naturalness with stand structure. In this study, we evaluated how

The occurrence of early-arriving saproxylic beetles on Scots pine logging residues generated by thinning

Journal of Forest Science, 2015
The occurrences of early-arriving saproxylic beetles were examined on 1,200 fragments of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) logging residues generated by thinning in a single stand in the Drahanská Highlands in the Czech Republic.

First Record of the Saproxylic Beetle Cossonus parallelepipedus (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) in Bosnia and Herzegovina

South-East European Forestry, 2021
Balkan Peninsula is considered to be a hotspot of beetle biodiversity. Registering occurrence of saproxylic beetles is an important first step for expanding the general knowledge about saproxylic beetles as ecologically important insect species. Cossonus

Small-scale spontaneous dynamics in temperate beech stands as an importance driver for beetle species richness

Scientific Reports, 2022
Natural dynamics in forests play an important role in the lives of many species. In the landscape of managed forests, natural disturbances are reduced by management activities. This usually has a significant effect on insect diversity.
