Sustainable management of forest ecosystems requires the use of reliable and easy to
implement biodiversity and naturalness indicators. Tree-related microhabitats (TreMs) can …

Although a species' locomotor capacity is suggestive of its ability to escape global climate
change, such a suggestion is not necessarily straightforward. Species vary substantially in …

Decomposition of organic matter in high latitude biomes makes a significant contribution to
global fluxes of nutrients and carbon and is expected to accelerate due to climate change …

Microarthropod abundance, oribatid mite species richness and community composition were
assessed in the high canopy (ca. 35m) of an ancient temperate rainforest and compared …

Lichenized fungi of the genus Lepraria lack ascomata and conidiomata, and symbionts
codisperse by soredia. Here, it is determined whether algal symbionts associated with …

The habitat associations of individuals underpin the dynamics of species distributions. Broad‐
scale gradients in climate can alter habitat associations across species' geographic ranges …

Spiders are among the most common animals in diverse terrestrial environments, and
display a variety of lifestyles and foraging modes. This chapter represents an overview of our …

ectotherms.•This behaviour altered microhabitat utilization and population parameters in …

Species vary in their vulnerability to extirpation or extinction in response to habitat loss,
including deforestation. A variety of correlates of vulnerability have been found, but few …

We collected spiders from tree-bark, foliage and litter habitats in deciduous and conifer
dominated stands in NW Alberta (Canada) to define these assemblages and consider their …
