Landscape context affects the success of habitat restoration: large‐scale colonization patterns of saproxylic and fire‐associated species in boreal forests (2012, background): “Ecological changes include the loss of structural elements – such as old trees (Andersson & Östlund, 2004) and decaying wood (Siitonen, 2001) – but also the disappearance of the disturbances that are typical in natural forests (Kouki et al., 2001; Bergeron et al., 2002; Kuuluvainen, 2002).”
Horizontal and vertical distribution of saproxylic beetles (Col., Buprestidae, Cerambycidae, Scolytinae) across sections of forest edges (2007, background): “Hence insect species richness, particularly of rare species, is often lower in managed forests than in old growth forests (Väisänen et al. 1993; Martikainen 2000; Kouki et al. 2001; Similä et al. 2003).”
Co-variation and indicators of species diversity: Can richness of forest-dwelling species be predicted in northern boreal forests? (2006, background): “Humancaused habitat changes are rapidly proceeding in many areas, both locally (e.g. Esseen et al., 1997; Uotila et al., 2002) and regionally (e.g. Kouki et al., 2001; Löfman and Kouki, 2001).”
Wood-decaying fungi in the forest: conservation needs and management options (2007, background): “The above data suggest that the negative eVects of lack of deadwood are operating not only through loss of habitat but also through fragmentation (Kouki et al. 2001; Berglund and Jonsson 2003, 2005; Pharo et al. 2004).”
Forest Naturalness in Northern Europe : Perspectives on Processes, Structures and Species Diversity (2011, background): “Together with the landscape-level fragmentation of natural forest habitats and loss of natural disturbances, these changes have caused remarkable changes to forest structure and function (Kouki et al. 2001, Auvinen et al. 2007, Kuuluvainen 2009).”
Sampling the rarest: threatened beetles in boreal forest biodiversity inventories (2003, methodology): “Besides different combinations of tree species and type of decay, different environments should also be included, because recent studies have shown that dead wood in sun-exposed habitats is favoured by many threatened species (e.g. Jonsell et al. 1998; Kouki et al. 2001; Martikainen 2001).”
Spatiotemporal changes of beetle communities across a tree diversity gradient (2009, background): “Intensive forestry leads to habitat loss, fragmentation and reduced complexity (Kouki et al., 2001; Larsson & Danell, 2001; Hirao et al., 2007), which will eventually result in a scattered, over-simplified forest landscape not suitable to preserve high beetle diversity.”
Mimicking natural disturbances of boreal forests: the effects of controlled burning and creating dead wood on beetle diversity (2007, background): “In addition to the loss of old-growth forest and fragmentation at landscape level (Kouki et al. 2001), fundamental changes have taken place in disturbance dynamics (Attiwill 1994; Kuuluvainen 2002).”
Saproxylic beetles in high stumps of spruce: Fungal flora important for determining the species composition (2005, background): “However, compared with natural stumps, high stumps cut on clear-cuts will make a greater contribution to sun-exposed wood, which is beneficial to beetles adapted to large-scale disturbances (Kaila et al., 1997; Kouki et al., 2001; Lindhe & Lindelöw, 2004).”
Extinction debt and species credit in boreal forests: modelling the consequences of different approaches to biodiversity conservation. (2000, background): “ened forest species would be met by natural forests representing young successional stages (Martikainen 2000, Kouki et al. 2000 ), in contrast to old-growth, but such forests are practically nonexistent in Finland.”
