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 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.

This study shows that carpenter ants perform indiscriminate leg amputations on infected and sterile wounds, reducing mortality but not differentiating between injury states.

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 large-scale chronosequence in the Ecuadorian Choco to study forest recovery, finding that forest structure, biomass, and species richness increase with regeneration time and approach old-growth levels after decades to centuries.

This study extends the typology of tree-related microhabitats to include tropical forests and compares their diversity between tropical and temperate forests.
