Saproxylic diversity assessment is a major goal for conservation strategies in woodlands
and it should consider woodland composition and configuration at site and tree level as key …

Saproxylic beetle diversity is high at the Cabañeros National Park (central Spain), where
woodland habitats exhibit remarkable heterogeneity. Our aim was to explain the diversity of …

This report represents the first integrative study on saproxylic Coleoptera and Diptera

Abstract Aim Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) is regarded as a keystone plant species. Trophic
interactions may affect the distribution and abundance of phytophagous species, but the …

Great longhorn beetles (GLBs) may affect forest structure, because their larvae colonize
trees and create networks of cavities further exploited by other species, resulting in dead or …

The assessment of the relationship between species diversity, species interactions and
environmental characteristics is indispensable for understanding network architecture and …

Context The identification of habitat structures with biologically meaningful links to habitat
quality has enabled an increased understanding of wildlife distributions in fragmented …

Beetles living in tree hollows can feed on a wealth of substrates—eg the rotten wood
surrounding the cavity, leaf humus falling into the hole, and larval frass accumulating in the …
