This study uses genomic data to assess genetic diversity and adaptive potential in the Hermit Beetle, revealing severe genetic subdivision and recommending conservation strategies to protect its genomic integrity.

The paper investigates factors determining the distribution of hybrids between Syrian and Great Spotted woodpeckers, finding hybrids show no woodland preference but tend to occur near rarer parental species.

The paper shows that genomic diversity metrics vary in their ability to detect phylogenetic and ecological patterns in saproxylic beetles, emphasizing the importance of denominator choice.

This study identifies deadwood diversity as a key factor influencing genetic diversity in saproxylic beetles, showing that regional gene-flow patterns vary among species.

The paper reports widespread hybridization between Syrian and Great-spotted woodpeckers across Europe, identifying hybrid forms and their distribution patterns.

This study examines how geography and forest management influence genetic diversity in saproxylic beetles using genomic data from central European forests.

This review evaluates the lack of studies on the sympatric Syrian and Great Spotted Woodpeckers, emphasizing the need to consider co-occurrence and hybridization in their ecology and biology.

This study reviews and meta-analyzes hybridization in woodpeckers, finding higher rates in the Neotropics and lower in Afrotropic and Oriental regions, with genetic similarities explaining hybridization patterns.

The paper examines microbial communities in two red flat bark beetles, finding host tree species significantly influence microbiome composition, while beetle species show less distinct clustering.

This study conducts a meta-analysis of genetic data from European saproxylic beetles to examine how historical and contemporary forest factors influence genetic diversity and population structure.
