Mitigating the precipitous decline of terrestrial European insects: Requirements for a new strategy
JC Habel, MJ Samways, T Schmitt - Biodiversity and Conservation, 2019 - Springer
Severe decline in terrestrial insect species richness, abundance, flying biomass, and local
extinctions across Europe are cause for alarm. Here, we summarize this decline, and identify …

Microclimate and habitat heterogeneity as the major drivers of beetle diversity in dead wood
Resource availability and habitat heterogeneity are principle drivers of biodiversity, but their
individual roles often remain unclear since both factors are usually correlated. The …

Association of extinction risk of saproxylic beetles with ecological degradation of forests in Europe
To reduce future loss of biodiversity and to allocate conservation funds effectively, the major
drivers behind large‐scale extinction processes must be identified. A promising approach is …

Retention as an integrated biodiversity conservation approach for continuous-cover forestry in Europe
Retention forestry implies that biological legacies like dead and living trees are deliberately
selected and retained beyond harvesting cycles to benefit biodiversity and ecosystem …

Effect of forest stand management on species composition, structural diversity, and productivity in the temperate zone of Europe
Abstract Forests in Central Europe have been used since centuries and were systematically
changed by silvicultural practices since the late 1700s. Focusing on possible biodiversity …
