Logs and stumps in clearcuts support similar saproxylic beetle diversity: implications for bioenergy harvest

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2011
Stumps from clear cuts are increasingly used for bioenergy. Extracting this wood will reduce the habitat available for saproxylic (wood-living) organisms.

Lost in dead wood? Environmental DNA sequencing from dead wood shows little signs of saproxylic beetles

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, 2022
eDNA metabarcoding has become a standard method for assessing wood‐inhabiting fungi and bacteria, yet determination of dead‐wood‐inhabiting beetles still relies on time‐consuming collection of beetle specimens.

Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Diptera diversity: Oak decline increases the overall Diptera diversity, particularly in saproxylic and floricolous guilds, likely due to more open canopies and greater deadwood and floral resource availability. Family responses: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Anthomyiidae thrive in declining stands, whereas Mycetophilidae and other fungus ...

Saproxylic water beetles of Poland

open access: yes
Saproksyliczne chrząszcze wodne PolskiMówiąc „chrząszcze saproksyliczne” zazwyczaj mamy na myśli gatunki występującew szeroko pojętych środowiskach leśnych. W Polsce jest to około 1300 gatunków należących do ponad 70 rodzin. Przystosowania organizmów do korzystania z drewna bezpośrednio jako pokarmu, czy też odżywiania się organizmami rozwijającymi się

First record of Pediacus dermestoides (Fabricius, 1792) (Coleoptera: Cucujidae) for Bulgaria

open access: yesHistoria Naturalis Bulgarica, 2021
The saproxylic species Pediacus dermestoides (Fabricius, 1792) is reported from forest habitats located in five mountains in Bulgaria. The adult beetles were found under the bark of several host tree species or captured with flight interception traps. It

Taxonomic and methodological biases in saproxylic beetles: Body size, trophic group and detection probability

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Smaller saproxylic beetle species are described later and appear later in georeferenced databases, demonstrating a persistent body‐size bias that contributes to Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls. Trophic group, not body size, is the primary driver of detection probability in standardised flight‐trap surveys, with sapro‐xylophagous species detected most ...

Sanitation felling against the European spruce bark beetle: A matter of intensity and forest type Tagli fitosanitari contro il bostrico tipografo: una questione di intensità e tipologia forestale

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 382-397, August 2026.
We assess the effect of sanitation felling performed in 2022 in North‐Eastern Italy on bark beetle damage that occurred in 2023 across eight spruce forest types, as evaluated using multispectral satellite imagery. Bark beetle damage was reduced only at very high or very low sanitation felling rates.

Sampling saproxylic beetles with window flight traps: methodological insights

open access: yesRevue d'Écologie (La Terre et La Vie), 2008
Regards méthodologiques sur l’échantillonnage des coléoptères saproxyliques au moyen des pièges-vitres. — Les coléoptères saproxyliques constituent un groupe riche en espèces, souvent petites et cryptiques, et difficiles à échantillonner. Différentes méthodes sont traditionnellement utilisées pour les collecter : les techniques (i) de collecte active, (

Chromatic Contrast Alone Does Not Predict Predation Risk in the Longhorn Beetle Rosalia alpina

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Prey colouration can affect predation risk, yet the function of the striking blue‐and‐black pattern of the longhorn beetle Rosalia alpina has not been tested experimentally. By combining reflectance measurements, visual modelling of potential avian predators and field experiments with plasticine models, we show that chromatic contrast alone does not ...
