Global warming and land‐use change are expected to be additive threats global diversity, which insects contribute the highest proportion. Insects strongly influenced by temperature but also require specific habitat resources, thus interaction between two factors is likely. We selected saproxylic beetles as a model group because their life cycle depends on dead wood, highly threatened land use. tested extent higher temperatures compensate for negative effects of low amounts wood beetle...
Regards méthodologiques sur l’échantillonnage des coléoptères saproxyliques au moyen pièges-vitres. — Les constituent un groupe riche en espèces, souvent petites et cryptiques, difficiles à échantillonner. Différentes méthodes sont traditionnellement utilisées pour les collecter : techniques (i) de collecte active, (ii) d’élevage (iii) piégeage. Le piège-vitre est actuellement la méthode plus fréquemment utilisée capture aériens mobiles. Grâce combinaison différents principes, pièges-vitres...
Abstract. 1. European Beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) is the natural dominant tree species in many forests across Europe. Despite Europe’s global responsibility for these forests, correct conservation strategies are still a matter of debate. In particular, it remains controversial whether high efforts should be directed towards beech owing to small number insects that specialists, and at what spatial scale take place. 2. To provide evidence this discussion, we compiled saproxylic beetle data from...
Abstract Despite the key importance of landscape matrix for bats, we still not fully understand how effect forest composition interacts at combined stand and scales to shape bat communities. In addition, lack detailed knowledge on effects local habitat structure bat-prey relationships in forested landscapes. We tested assumptions that (i) has interacting bats between scales; (ii) mediates prey abundance activity. Our results indicated conifer-dominated landscapes (> 80% coniferous...
Abstract Context Fungi represent a large part of soil biodiversity as well an essential role for tree hydromineral nutrition, survival, and carbon cycling. While their local diversity has proven to be shaped by abiotic biotic factors related soil, climate vegetation, response landscape fragmentation is still debated. Objectives In this paper, we focus on ancient forests characterized the presence beech at low elevation, habitat particularly fragmented in South-West France. We aim assess...
Abstract 1 Subsequent to the diversity of saproxylic beetles being proposed as a management tool in forestry, more explicit knowledge about efficiency and selective properties beetle sampling methods is needed. 2 We compared assemblages caught by alcohol‐baited or unbaited window traps different forest contexts. Considering that trap attractiveness depends on kairomone concentrations, we appraised whether was influenced environment (openness local supply fresh dead wood). 3 Saproxylic were...
Abstract. 1. The expanding interest in harvesting stumps for bioenergy may represent a potential threat to forest biodiversity. Whereas are common managed stands, knowledge of their associated saproxylic assemblages is still incomplete. 2. We used emergence traps sample beetle oak and pine large‐diameter (>20 cm) logs compared the from two sources. 3. With 64–84.5% species pool pine, respectively, definitely constituted suitable substratum many forests. Higher density suggested that more...
Abstract Organisms associated with dead wood (i.e. saproxylic species) are threatened by intensified forest and agricultural management. For a majority of beetles the detailed information on their habitat requirements is still lacking, thus hindering efficient conservation information. This also applies to violet click beetle ( Limoniscus violaceus ), one umbrella species European fauna. specie needs basal tree hollows for its larval development. We studied preferences L. in using emergence...
Abstract Aim The tinder fungus Fomes fomentarius is a pivotal wood decomposer in European beech Fagus sylvatica forests. fungus, however, has regionally declined due to centuries of logging. To unravel biogeographical drivers arthropod communities associated with this we investigated how space, climate and habitat amount structure alpha beta diversity fruitbodies F. . Location Temperate zone Europe. Taxon Arthropods. Methods We reared arthropods from sampled 61 sites throughout the range...
Abstract Aim Beech forests comprise a globally unique temperate forest type in Europe. The dominance of beech these developed during the ongoing post‐glacial northward re‐colonization, concurrently with intensified use by humans. We investigated how two processes together climate shaped patterns functional diversity major species groups involved wood decomposition and whether is determined on local or regional pool level.
