A test for assessment of saproxylic beetle biodiversity using subsets of “monitoring species” [PDF]

Ecological Indicators, 2012
Abstract In European forests, large scale biodiversity monitoring networks need to be implemented – networks which include components such as taxonomical groups that are at risk and that depend directly on forest stand structure. In this context, monitoring the species-rich group of saproxylic beetles is challenging.

New and noteworthy records of saproxylic beetles (Coleoptera) from Crete (Greece) [PDF]

Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle “Grigore Antipa”
Saproxylic beetles are in the spotlight of conservation biology. Crete (Greece) constitutes a special biogeographical entity and an endemism hotspot for many organisms.

Same forest, different story: Beetle community responses to non‐native tree species depend on the vertical stratum

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our findings emphasize the importance of integrating vertical stratification into biodiversity monitoring for a comprehensive understanding of the ecological impacts of climate‐adapted forest management with non‐native tree species. Promoting mixed stands can mitigate negative biodiversity impacts of non‐native tree species and support the maintenance ...

Old park trees as habitat for saproxylic beetle species [PDF]

Biodiversity and Conservation, 2011
Very old trees harbour a diverse fauna of saproxylic insects, many of which are classified as threatened due to the scarcity of this kind of habitat. Parks, which often contain many old trees, are therefore considered to be important sites for this fauna. However parks are intensively managed and dead wood is often removed.

Regulating bark beetles with mechanical bark treatments: Trade‐offs among pest control, operational efficiency and biodiversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Three times harvester processing and motor‐manual bark gouging effectively reduce bark beetles, enabling two options: permanent on‐site retention for biodiversity conservation, or up to 2 years of intermediate on‐site storage with no treatment effect on blue‐stain fungi colonization or energy content, thereby buffering operational bottlenecks during ...

From forest stand decline to salvage logging: Cascading impacts on saproxylic beetle diversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Given the pronounced context dependency of the processes driving these cascading community dynamics, and considering the increasing frequency, severity and spatial extent of forest disturbances and global stand decline, it is imperative to integrate this complexity into management and conservation frameworks.

Protecting temperate old‐growth forests as biotic microrefugia amid climate change

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Old‐growth forests are essential biotic microrefugia, providing high carbon storage, biodiversity, and stable microclimates that protect understorey species from climatic extremes. Their resilience to drought and disturbance makes them more effective than younger forests, yet habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change increasingly threaten these ...

The potential of semiochemical blends to monitor saproxylic beetle communities [PDF]

Journal of Insect Conservation
The biodiversity of forests is threatened by intensive forestry. Due to a drastic decrease in the supply of dead wood, saproxylic insects constitute a great part of this threatened biodiversity. Their cryptic lifestyles make them hard to find, and we currently lack an effective method for surveying saproxylic insect communities. In this study, we aimed

Challenges and Advances Driving Studies on Aquatic Insects of the Order Coleoptera

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquatic beetles (Coleoptera) are known for their high taxonomic and ecological diversity and their sensitivity to environmental changes, making them key bioindicators in ecological assessments. However, numerous knowledge gaps persist globally.

Therapeutic Bark Gouging as an Effective Complement for the Management of Ips typographus and Pityogenes chalcographus While Preserving Habitat for Secondary Scolytine (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Species

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 780-790, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Norway spruce will likely remain an important tree species in Europe over the next few decades despite efforts to transform forests and reduce its distribution range more to its natural range. Consequently, Ips typographus will remain one of the most relevant forest pests the management of which will become increasingly challenging due to ...
