Tree related microhabitats in temperate and Mediterranean European forests: A hierarchical typology for inventory standardization (2018, background): “Many studies focus on individual types, mainly cavities (e.g. Carvalho et al., 2014; Gouix and Brustel, 2012; Ranius et al., 2009; Remm and Lõhmus, 2011; Saunders et al., 2014).”
Hollow beech trees identified as keystone structures for saproxylic beetles by analyses of functional and phylogenetic diversity (2014, background): “In the first pathway, a rapid death of a vital old tree will produce a constraint and a distinct succession of decay of the dead tree, over 2–3 decades in the case of beech (Ranius et al., 2009).”
Conflict between insect conservation and public safety: the case study of a saproxylic beetle (Osmoderma eremita) in urban parks (2010, background): “This hampers the natural ageing of trees and precludes the formation of natural cavities needed by insects and other animals such as rodents, birds and lizards (Lindenmayer et al. 2006; Ranius et al. 2009 ).”
Increased openness around retained oaks increases species richness of saproxylic beetles (2012, background): “This is reasonable as the oaks in our study were relatively young; the mean age was\200 years in seven out of nine stands in our study, whereas cavities are formed in oaks when they are between 200 and 400 years old (Ranius et al. 2009).”
Experimental studies of dead-wood biodiversity — A review identifying global gaps in knowledge (2015, unknown): “For example, a slow process of senescence creates different dead-wood substrates than a fast die-off and the different substrates thus host different saproxylic species assemblages (Ranius et al., 2009).”
