Long-term effects of logging intensity on structures, birds, saproxylic beetles and wood-inhabiting fungi in stands of European beech Fagus sylvatica L. (2007, background): “, 1998; Ranius and Jansson, 2000) or to structures that need long periods to evolve, as large cavities in living trees (Nilsson and Baranowski, 1997; Ranius, 2002).”
Targets for maintenance of dead wood for biodiversity conservation based on extinction thresholds (2006, background): “However, in most of the studies the occurrence of an extinction threshold was not statistically tested (Økland et al., 1996; Penttilä et al., 2004; Holland et al., 2005; see, however, Ranius, 2002), because the aim of the studies was not to determine whether extinction thresholds exist.”
Hollow beech trees identified as keystone structures for saproxylic beetles by analyses of functional and phylogenetic diversity (2014, background): “Studies on hollow oaks in Sweden also revealed the landscape matrix as an important driver for the assemblages of a particular tree beyond local tree characteristics (Ranius, 2002a).”
Restricted dispersal in a flying beetle assessed by telemetry (2008, methodology): “…efforts should focus both on preserving remaining O. eremita populations in stands of hollow trees and creating new suitable hollow trees near these (most within 200 m distance), possibly by speeding up the creation of hollows in present young and medium-age trees (Key and Ball 1993; Ranius 2002b).”
Tree microhabitats as indicators of bird and bat communities in Mediterranean forests (2013, background): “These microhabitats may also provide ecological niches for lichens and bryophytes (Fritz and Heilmann-Clausen, 2010), invertebrates (Ranius, 2002; Vanderwel et al., 2006), and vertebrates, especially birds and bats (Kroll et al.”
Modelling habitat and spatial distribution of an endangered longhorn beetle - A case study for saproxylic insect conservation (2007, background): “Tree diameter also restricts occupancy of other highly endangered beetles (e.g. Tenebrio opacus, Ranius, 2002).”
A comparison of three methods to survey saproxylic beetles in hollow oaks (2002, background): “Many saproxylic beetle species associated with trunk hollows are more frequent in hollows at higher heights (Ranius 2002).”
Factors and scales potentially important for saproxylic beetles in temperate mixed oak forest (2007, background): “Several factors influencing species richness of saproxylic beetles have been identified: continuity of forest and/or substrate (Siitonen, 1994; Jonsell and Nordlander, 2002; Simila¨ et al., 2003; Bouget and Duelli, 2004), quality/amounts of dead wood in local stands (Nilsson and Baranowski, 1997; Ra”
A Red List of Italian Saproxylic Beetles: taxonomic overview, ecological features and conservation issues (Coleoptera) (2015, background): “According to Ranius (2002c), each cavity in the trunk of an old tree can be seen as an habitat fragment, suitable to support a local population of O. eremita; each population is more or less connected with the other, through dispersal, forming a system of meta-populations (Ranius 2002a, c).”
Diversity patterns of wild bees and wasps in managed boreal forests: Effects of spatial structure, local habitat and surrounding landscape (2015, background): “…size and species richness determined in this work probably reflects the tendency for larger habitat patches to harbor viable local populations of more species, which has also been observed in a few other insect studies (Steffan-Dewenter and Tscharntke 2000; Ranius 2002; Sahlin and Schroeder, 2010).”
Hollow oaks and beetle conservation: the significance of the surroundings (2010, background): “Previous studies have confirmed that hollow oaks are important habitats for a wide range of rare beetle species in Europe (Ranius and Jansson 2000; Ranius 2002a; Buse et al. 2007).”
Saproxylic beetle assemblages related to silvicultural management intensity and stand structures in a beech forest in Southern Germany (2008, methodology): “The classification of species as ‘saproxylic’ and the assignment to larval habitat guilds was according to Schmidl and Bußler (2004). The larval feeding guilds were determined according to Köhler (2000).”
Habitat preferences of oak-feeding xylophagous beetles in a temperate woodland: implications for forest history and management (2009, background): “…aspects of saproxylic beetles’ habitat selection have rarely been studied in temperate regions (but see Ranius and Nilsson 1997, Jukes et al. 2002, Ranius 2002, Wermelinger et al. 2007, Ulyshen and Hanula 2007), although the importance of vertical stratification, relative to sun exposure, may be…”
Microhabitats in lowland beech forests as monitoring tool for nature conservation (2008, background): “European Union’s Habitats Directive 1992) live within the cavity together with a large number of other insects (Ranius, 2002).”
Measuring the dispersal of saproxylic insects: a key characteristic for their conservation (2006, unknown): “... testaceus 11 91 – a Only species present in >2.5% of the traps are included b Total number of individuals captured by window traps and pitfall traps c Proportion of these individuals that were captured by window traps (from Ranius and Jansson 2002) d Coefficient and statistical significance (Ken”
Osmoderma eremita as an indicator of species richness of beetles in tree hollows (2002, background): “Osmoderma eremita is the ecologically most well-studied species among the beetles in tree hollows (Ranius and Nilsson 1997; Ranius 2000, 2001; Ranius and Hedin 2001).”
