The study shows that warmer microclimates in forest gaps boost biodiversity in colder regions but not in warmer ones, suggesting climate-specific forest management strategies.

The paper quantifies how forest structural changes affect volatile organic compound beta-diversity and finds deadwood, not canopy openness, drives this increase.

The paper quantifies microclimatic heterogeneity in forests and links it to biodiversity, showing that canopy structure and gaps influence temperature variation and species diversity.

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.

This study shows that increasing forest structural complexity reduces spider diversity through habitat filtering, despite higher abundances and beta-diversity.

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

This study examines the effects of forest structural heterogeneity on dung beetle diversity and ecosystem function in Central Europe, finding no benefit to dung beetle diversity or dung removal rates in more heterogeneous forests.
