• Arthropod biodiversity after forest fires: winners and losers in the winter fire regime of the southern Alps (2004, background): “ Sgardelis and Margaris 1993, York 1999, Nunes et al. 2000), and is probably due to the loss of litter and the lethal surface temperatures during the fire (up to 7008C; Marxer 2002).”
• Deadwood enrichment in European forests – Which tree species should be used to promote saproxylic beetle diversity? (2016, unknown): “Studies in northern Europe have shown that open, sunny, early successional sites are particularly important for saproxylic (incl. beetle) diversity (Simila et al., 2002).”
• Habitat preferences of oak-feeding xylophagous beetles in a temperate woodland: implications for forest history and management (2009, background): “…considered vertical requirements of saproxylic beetles have relied on patterns of adult activity (i.e. trapping of adults: Martikainen et al. 2000; Similä et al. 2002; Bouget 2005; Gibb et al. 2006; Hjältén et al. 2007; Wermelinger et al. 2007) rather than on selection of breeding substrate…”
• Multi‐taxon and forest structure sampling for identification of indicators and monitoring of old‐growth forest (2010, background): “…the latter are believed to be more significant when describing old-growth forest; as regards insects, we decided to limit our sampling to saproxylic beetles as these beetles are widely considered to be an important old-growth indicator group (Siitonen 2001; Nilsson et al. 2002; Simila et al. 2002).”
• Horizontal and vertical distribution of saproxylic beetles (Col., Buprestidae, Cerambycidae, Scolytinae) across sections of forest edges (2007, background): “…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), disturbances (Wermelinger et al. 2002; Moretti and Barbalat 2004) and various…”
• A comparison of three trapping methods used to survey forest-dwelling Coleoptera (2006, background): “…traps and pitfall traps have been widely employed in many recent studies in boreal forests (e.g. Muona & Rutanen, 1994; Siitonen, 1994; Spence & Niemelä, 1994; Niemelä et al., 1996; Økland et al., 1996; Martikainen, 2001; Koivula et al., 2002; Similä et al., 2002; Lindhe & Lindelöw, 2004).”
• Landscape context affects the success of habitat restoration: large‐scale colonization patterns of saproxylic and fire‐associated species in boreal forests (2012, background): “…sample the sites before burning treatments because our previous studies and field experience have shown that rare saproxylic and pyrophilous species are absent from intensively managed forests that lack dead wood and fire-scarred trees (e.g. Similä et al., 2002; Hyvärinen et al., 2005, 2006b).”
• Saproxylic Beetles in Standing Dead Wood Density in Relation to Substrate Sun-exposure and Diameter (2005, result): “Still, our results may well underestimate the general importance of sun-exposure, as our study did not include any stumps of pine, a common pioneer tree species demonstrated to host considerably richer saproxylic faunas in early open, than in later shaded, stages of succession (Similä et al. 2002).”
• Sampling the rarest: threatened beetles in boreal forest biodiversity inventories (2003, background): “However, sample size can be seriously affected by one or few abundant species such as Zyras humeralis (Gravenhorst) (Staphylinidae), which sometimes make up a large proportion, even ¨up to 70% of the total catch of forest beetles (e.g. in Simila et al. 2002b).”
• Saproxylic beetle diversity in a managed boreal forest: importance of stand characteristics and forestry conservation measures (2007, result): “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): “A similar trend can be seen in the abundance of red-listed saproxylic Coleoptera, and the response can be even faster than in the case of the Aphyllophorales (Hyvärinen et al. 2005; see also Ahnlund & Lindhe 1992, Similä et al. 2002).”
• Influence of boreal forest succession and dead wood qualities on saproxylic beetles (2007, background): “…focus of many studies in Europe ( Siitonen & Martikainen, 1994; Martikainen et al. , 2000; Martikainen, 2001; Siitonen, 2001; Simila et al. , 2002; Sippola et al. , 2002 ), and a few studies in Australia ( Grove, 2002 ) and North America ( Hammond, 1997; Hammond et al. , 2001; Hammond et al. ,…”
