Heterogeneity–diversity relationships differ between and within trophic levels in temperate forests
The habitat heterogeneity hypothesis predicts that biodiversity increases with increasing
habitat heterogeneity due to greater niche dimensionality. However, recent studies have …

Snags, logs, stumps, and microclimate as tools optimizing deadwood enrichment for forest biodiversity
The reduction of deadwood due to forest management threatens saproxylic diversity.
Therefore, deadwood needs to be preserved and enriched. While the importance of …

What does a threatened saproxylic beetle look like? Modelling extinction risk using a new morphological trait database
1. The extinction of species is a non-random process, and understanding why some species
are more likely to go extinct than others is critical for conservation efforts. Functional trait …

Drought-induced forest dieback increases taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of saproxylic beetles at both local and landscape scales
Context Many forest ecosystems around the world are facing increasing drought-induced
dieback, causing mortality patches across the landscape at multiple scales. This increases …
