Wildfires considerably affect forest ecosystems. However, there is a lack of data on the post-
fire status of insect communities in these ecosystems. This paper presents results of a study …

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 …

Understanding patterns of species diversity at different spatial scales is important for
adapting management and conservation efforts. We have therefore studied wild bee and …

Windstorms, bark beetle outbreaks and fires are important natural disturbances in coniferous
forests worldwide. Wind-thrown trees promote biodiversity and restoration within production …

A major goal of community ecology is to identify the patterns of species associations and the
processes that shape them. Arboreal ants are extremely diverse and abundant, making them …

In fire-susceptible boreal forests, clear-cutting has been justified as being a harvesting
regime that mimics natural stand-replacing dynamics, despite obvious differences in its …

Aim Much research has quantified species responses to human‐modified ecosystems.
However, there is limited work on how human‐modified ecosystems may reshape …

Today, the importance of restoring natural forest disturbance regimes and habitat structures
for biodiversity is widely recognized. We evaluated the immediate effects of two restoration …

Early postfire habitats harbour numerous saproxylic species. Some are opportunistic
feeders, while others are closely associated with burned forests. This distinction is important …

Standing deadwood is an important attribute of old-growth boreal forests and it provides
essential microhabitats for deadwood-associated species. In managed boreal forests, short …
