Effects of Environmental Traits and Landscape Management on the Biodiversity of Saproxylic Beetles in Mediterranean Oak Forests

Diversity, 2020
This study assesses the effects of environmental traits and landscape management on the biodiversity of saproxylic beetles from “dehesas” located in Sierra Morena Mountains (Córdoba, Southern Iberian Peninsula).

Distribution of the genus Platycerus Geoffroy (Coleoptera, Lucanidae) in Italy [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
Stag beetles are saproxylic species that are associated with deadwood in the larval stage and play an important role in forest ecosystem dynamics. In Italy, Platycerus caprea and Platycerus caraboides are two small, elusive stag beetle species, whose ...

The conservation status and distribution of Mediterranean saproxylic beetles [PDF]

, 2019
The Mediterranean Red List assessment is a review of the conservation status at regional level of approximately 6,000 species of animals and plants. This report summarizes the results for a key group of Mediterranean biodiversity: saproxylic beetles. Despite their key role in the ecosystem´s health and food chain, saproxylic beetles are still largely ...

Systematic and exhaustive wood dissection: a standardized method for studying saproxylic insect communities in tropical rainforests

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Research on tropical saproxylic insects (insects associated with dead wood) commonly uses flight interception traps (FITs). However, because these traps are a passive method of collection, the beetle communities captured by FITs may not reflect the ...

Edges as ecological filters: Asymmetrical orientation‐specific arthropod activity across forest boundaries

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.

Histomorphology Structure of the Gastric Caecum, Midgut, and Malpighian Tubules in Adult Flatheaded Pine Borer Chalcophora mariana (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pine weevil is one of the largest species in the jewel beetle (Buprestidae) family found in Central Europe and Turkey. Chalcophora mariana is generally considered a secondary guest and primarily develops in weakened, decaying, or recently dead pine trees.

The Challenge of DNA Barcoding Saproxylic Beetles in Natural History Collections—Exploring the Potential of Parallel Multiplex Sequencing With Illumina MiSeq

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Saproxylic beetles are important bioindicators of forest health but their enormous diversity makes their identification challenging. As an example, the French fauna of saproxylic beetles alone contains 2,663 species in 72 families.
