Abstract:
... Among saproxylic beetles, many early colonizers prefer particular host species. Ranking of preferred hosts of local saproxylic beetle communities is critical for effective dead‐wood management in forests, but is rarely done because experiments with numerous tree species are labour and cost intensive. We analysed the host preference of local saproxylic beetle communities on logs of 13 tree species ...

Abstract:
... The effects of management on insect communities have been studied in several forest ecosystems, although the consequences for single potential pests are only known for a few species. The present study investigated whether forest management affects the infestation of European beech trees by the beech scale Cryptococcus fagisuga. We assessed the densities of C. fagisuga on a total of 520 trees (Fagu ...

Abstract:
... Trait‐based approaches have increased significantly in community ecology during the last decade. This is not least because studies on biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships became a major topic in ecology. Species' functions in ecosystems are mediated by their traits. For a better understanding of the relationships between environmental drivers, the community composition of organisms and ...

Abstract:
... As a rule, communities consist of few abundant and many rare species, which is reflected in the characteristic shape of species abundance distributions (SADs). The processes that shape these SADs have been a longstanding problem for ecological research. Although many studies found strong negative effects of increasing land‐use intensity on diversity, few reports consider land‐use effects on SADs. ...
