Tree hollows are keystone structures for saproxylic fauna and host numerous endangered
species. However, not all tree hollows are equal. Many variables including physical, biotic …

Tree hollows are key structures in forest ecosystems constituting long-lasting habitats and
nutritional resources for many saproxylic arthropod species. Due to diverse microhabitat …

Many saproxylic species are threatened in Europe because of habitat decline. Hollow trees
represent an important habitat for saproxylic species. Artificial habitats may need to be …

Tree hollows are among the rarest habitats in today's Central European managed forests but
are considered key structures for high biodiversity in forests. To analyze and compare the …

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 …

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 …

Old hollow trees have declined in Europe and many saproxylic (ie wood-dwelling)
invertebrates living on them are threatened. The aim of this study was to investigate to what …

The general importance of dead wood in E uropean beech forests for species requiring high
amounts of decayed wood of large diameter has recently been demonstrated using a …

Oak woodlands belong to the natural vegetation in most Mediterranean regions but have
suffered from a long history of woodland devastation and overgrazing. The remaining …

Tree hollows are complex microhabitats in which a variety of abiotic and biotic factors shape
the community assembly of saproxylic insects. Detecting non-random species co-occurrence …
