Non‐saproxylic beetles in beech forests: Larval habitat, trophic guild structure in a case study from the Czech Republic

Ecosphere
Beech forests in Central Europe are frequently the focus of entomological studies targeting saproxylic beetle species that depend on deadwood. However, considerably less attention has been paid to non‐saproxylic beetle species.

Training of a dog for the monitoring of Osmoderma eremita

Nature Conservation, 2017
One aim of the MIPP Project (http://www.lifemipp.eu) was to develop non-invasive monitoring methods for selected saproxylic beetles. In this paper, a method is proposed for monitoring the larvae of Osmoderma eremita in their natural habitat (i.e.

Red-listed saproxylic beetles in a beech reserve versus logged, unlogged, and mature spruce stands in Central Europe

Ecological Processes
Background Red-listed saproxylic beetles are frequently studied because they have significant bioindicative potential for assessing various forest ecosystems.

Habitat requirements of saproxylic beetles on aspen [PDF]

, 2009
In Fennoscandia, most of the forests have been under production management since the 19th or 20th century, which has resulted in decreasing amounts of dead wood (coarse woody debris, cwd). Populations of many saproxylic (wood–dependent)species have declined because of the reduction of cwd.

Saproxylic beetle (Coleoptera) communities and forest management practices in coniferous stands in southwest Nova Scotia, Canada

ZooKeys, 2008
Old-growth forest in Nova Scotia typically exhibits an uneven-aged, multi-layered stand structure and contains significant amounts of coarse woody debris. Many forest species, including invertebrates, depend in various ways on deadwood substrates.

The conservation of saproxylic beetles in boreal forest [PDF]

, 2006
Forest management has altered the age structure, tree species composition and dead wood availability of Swedish boreal forests. As a consequence, many saproxylic (wood living) insect species have decreased in abundance and many species are threatened.

Trait-Environment Interactions of Saproxylic Beetles as a Guide to Biodiversity Conservation Strategies [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Management
Conservation of biodiversity requires in-depth knowledge of trait-environment interactions to understand the influence the environment has on species assemblages. Saproxylic beetles exhibit a wide range of traits and functions in the forest ecosystems.

A revision of distribution, ecology and conservation issues of the threatened comb-claw beetle Gerandryus aetnensis (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae, Alleculinae)

Fragmenta entomologica, 2021
Gerandryus aetnensis (Rottenberg, 1871) is a rare and localized beetle, previously known only for Maritime Alps and Sicily. In this paper we provide a revision of geonemy, ecology and status of conservation, including a proposal for a new assessment of ...

Guidelines for the Monitoring of the Saproxylic Beetles protected in Europe

, 2017
One action envisaged by "The EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020" is integrating biodiversity measures by maintaining optimal levels of deadwood in forests. Currently, the discussion and scientific research on optimal levels of deadwood for conservation are still ongoing. The concept of conservation of deadwood is today widely accepted.
