The paper examines how moisture affects nesting diversity of bees, wasps, and parasitoids in deadwood, finding that lying deadwood has lower diversity due to higher moisture retention.

The paper standardizes sample coverage to compare saproxylic beetle diversity across European tree genera, finding oak supports higher richness while resource availability and tree height are key drivers.

The paper describes a cross-regional field trial testing deadwood retention practices to improve multifunctional forest regeneration after Norway spruce disturbances.

This study investigates how volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from deadwood influence saproxylic beetle colonization, finding distinct VOC profiles linked to tree species and beetle assemblages.

This study examines how forest decline and salvage logging affect saproxylic beetle diversity across different European forest types.

The paper experiments with structural heterogeneity in forests to determine its impact on beetle metacommunities, finding increased species diversity and support for mass-effect and species-sorting processes.

The paper shows that restoring forest structural complexity increases γ-diversity for bats and birds through distinct α- and β-diversity mechanisms.

The paper introduces a continuum of information-based temporal stability measures parameterized by q, applicable to ecological time series data, and demonstrates their use with biomass data from the Jena Experiment.
