Much like flowering plants set the stage for an explosion of herbivore and pollinator diversity,
the origin of dead wood in early Devonian forests (~ 400 mya) was followed by an incredible …

Primary forests represent the ultimate intact habitat for saproxylic insects. However, their
extent has been considerably reduced over the past centuries, and those remaining are very …

▪ Abstract Saproxylic insects comprise a diverse, species-rich and dominant functional group
that share a dependence on dead wood and the old trees that generate it (mature timber …

This chapter explores the importance of veteran trees for saproxylic insects. In particular, the
chapter provides detailed discussion of the saproxylic insects, veteran trees in past and …

Saproxylic insect assemblages inhabiting dead wood in Canadian forests are highly diverse
and variable but quite poorly understood. Adequate assessment of these assemblages …

Tree hollows are fascinating microcosms that host a rich saproxylic insect assemblage. One
of the most peculiar characteristics of this habitat is that both biotic and abiotic factors affect …

Tree species diversity is important to maintain saproxylic beetle diversity in managed forests.
Yet, knowledge about the conservational importance of single tree species and implications …

Invariably, insects are overlooked when tropical forest management issues are discussed,
because there are so many species, they are taxonomically intractable and so poorly known …

Since the beginning of the new millennium, many conservation biologists and forest
managers have been discussing the future of European forests. Historical evidence shows …

A report of a study programme, commissioned by the Council of Europe, describing the
status of saproxylic invertebrates in Europe, the organisms and their habitats, the role of …
