Co-variation and indicators of species diversity: Can richness of forest-dwelling species be predicted in northern boreal forests? (2006, background): “…already observed that many decaying wood features are reflected in the richness of species dependent on dead wood (saproxylic species; Speight, 1989) and composition of species assemblages (e.g. Bader et al., 1995; Økland et al., 1996; Martikainen et al., 2000; Similä et al., 2003; Ranius, 2002).”
Factors and scales potentially important for saproxylic beetles in temperate mixed oak forest (2007, background): “…species richness of saproxylic beetles have been identified: continuity of forest and/or substrate (Siitonen, 1994; Jonsell and Nordlander, 2002; Similä et al., 2003; Bouget and Duelli, 2004), quality/amounts of dead wood in local stands (Nilsson and Baranowski, 1997; Ranius and Jansson, 2000;…”
Diameter of downed woody debris does matter for saproxylic beetle assemblages in temperate oak and pine forests (2011, background): “diameter), seems to be equally as important as volume to saproxylic species (Brin et al. 2009; Ranius and Jonsson 2007; Siitonen 2001; Similä et al. 2003).”
Sampling the rarest: threatened beetles in boreal forest biodiversity inventories (2003, background): “2000) and diversity (Simila et al. 2003) of dead wood tend to correlate positively with the species richness of beetles, but especially without knowledge on the previous availability of dead wood (continuity) these indicators may tell little about the occurrence of threatened species (Jonsson et al.”
Saproxylic beetle assemblages related to silvicultural management intensity and stand structures in a beech forest in Southern Germany (2008, result): “This is also in line with studies in Scandinavia, with higher species numbers in plots with a higher dead wood amount (Martikainen et al. 2000; Similä et al. 2003).”
Long-term effects of logging intensity on structures, birds, saproxylic beetles and wood-inhabiting fungi in stands of European beech Fagus sylvatica L. (2007, result): “Despite these findings, several studies in Fennoscandia (Martikainen et al., 2000; Similä et al., 2003; Penttilä et al., 2004) and Australia (Grove, 2002) with similar methodologies show higher species and individual numbers for saproxylic beetles and wood-inhabiting fungi in old-growth forests than”
Saproxylic beetle diversity in a managed boreal forest: importance of stand characteristics and forestry conservation measures (2007, background): “For example, saproxylic beetle species richness of old growth forests was significantly higher than that in old managed areas in one Finnish study (Martikainen et al., 2000), but not in others (Similä et al., 2002b, 2003).”
Red-listed boreal forest species of Finland : associations with forest structure, tree species, and decaying wood (2006, unknown): “Deciduous tree species are especially valuable as retention trees (Martikainen 2001, Sverdrup-Thygeson & Ims 2002), although it is critical that a sufficient quantity of retention trees should be left during harvesting to sustain viable populations of the most demanding Coleoptera species (Martikain”
Deadwood enrichment in European forests – Which tree species should be used to promote saproxylic beetle diversity? (2016, unknown): “…strategies should not only focus on increasing deadwood amount – which is certainly important to support higher population densities of beetles – , but also on increasing deadwood quality (Similä et al., 2003), in our case tree species combinations that support diversity (e.g. Carpinus and Picea ).”
Learning from a benign neglect strategy in a national park: Response of saproxylic beetles to dead wood accumulation (2010, background): “One earlier field study claimed to have found a greater influence of diversity than the amount of dead wood on the number of saproxylic beetles (Similä et al., 2003).”
Stand composition and structure of the boreal mixedwood and epigaeic arthropods of the Ecosystem Management Emulating Natural Disturbance (EMEND) landbase in northwestern Alberta (2004, background): “While the importance of maintaining coarse woody material for saproxylic arthropod species in managed boreal forests has been gaining attention, especially in Fennoscandia (Siitonen and Martikainen 1984; Siitonen 1994; Hammond 1997; Martikainen et al. 2000; Hammond et al. 2001; Kouki et al. 2001; Si”
Horizontal and vertical distribution of saproxylic beetles (Col., Buprestidae, Cerambycidae, Scolytinae) across sections of forest edges (2007, background): “In studies of the saproxylic insect community, and of the coleopteran fauna in particular, much emphasis has been put on investigating the impact of management practices (Väisänen et al. 1993; Hölling 2000; Martikainen et al. 2000; Similä et al. 2002; Wermelinger et al. 2002; Similä et al. 2003), di”
The European spruce bark beetle Ips typographus in a national park: from pest to keystone species (2008, methodology): “Therefore, we followed this widely used approach (Hyvärinen et al. 2006; Similä et al. 2003), already successfully applied in edge studies (Grimbacher et al. 2006), to compare species density in different types of stands.”
