Cactus species are well represented in arid and semiarid environments, where they
sometimes even dominate the landscape, forming true cactus forests. In this review, we …

The occurrence of short-interval, severe wildfires are increasing drastically at a global scale,
and appear as a novel phenomenon in areas where fire historically returns in large time …

Although wood-inhabiting beetle species are known to contribute to the progressive
degradation of wood by building larval galleries and dispersing fungal propagules, the …

Forest disturbances modify microhabitats along the different vertical strata, triggering
structural and functional changes in forest-dwelling beetle communities. However, the …

Beetle species living in high-latitude forests may be sensitive to variations in habitat
conditions and microclimate. We tested that the functional traits and guild structure of canopy …

Urban expansion is an important cause of biodiversity loss due to habitat destruction
involving the replacement of the natural environment with anthropic infrastructure. However …

Epiphytic and epixylic lichens respond negatively to forest degradation, climate change and
pollution, but those effects may depend on functional traits or interact with the stage of tree …

Saproxylic beetles have gained increasing attention due to their role in the decomposition of
rotting wood in forests. Studying the response of saproxylic beetles to tree harvesting is …
