• Deadwood enrichment in European forests – Which tree species should be used to promote saproxylic beetle diversity? (2016, unknown): “Thus they can act as keystone species by creating habitats for species of conservation concern (Martikainen et al., 1999; Müller et al., 2008).”
• Conservation value of forests attacked by bark beetles: Highest number of indicator species is found in early successional stages (2013, result): “…genral view of Swanson et al. (2011) that naturally disturbed, early uccessional ecosystems provide an under-appreciated value for iodiversity conservation, and supports findings of previous studies hat focused only on selected groups such as the Aculeata (Bouget Duelli, 2004; Müller et al., 2008).”
• The effects of edge-interior and understorey-canopy gradients on the distribution of saproxylic beetles in a temperate lowland forest (2013, background): “They affect nutrient cycling, forest structure and dynamics, and constitute a significant portion of forest biodiversity (Edmonds and Eglitis, 1989; Barker, 2008; Müller et al., 2008a; Cobb et al., 2010).”
• Ips typographus population development after a severe storm in a nature reserve in southern Sweden (2011, background): “typographus (Weslien 1992; Müller et al. 2008), there might also be negative consequences on species that are dependent on closed-canopy old-growth forests because reduced canopy cover does have profound effects on vegetation (Raffa et al.”
• A review of semiochemicals associated with bark beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) pests of coniferous trees: A focus on beetle interactions with other pests and their associates (2013, background): “Following the outbreaks of I. typographus in Germany (Müller et al., 2008), the administration of the Bavarian national park decided against management of the areas affected to allow for forest succession and regeneration (Müller and Job, 2009).”
