Saproxylic beetle assemblages in recently dead Scots pines: How traits modulate species’ response to forest management?

Boreal forests have been intensively managed, influencing the spatiotemporal occurrence of dead wood, and leading to changes in saproxylic species assemblages. Some particular traits, such as habitat specialization, can be expected to make species sensitive to alterations in the amount, dynamics and heterogeneity of dead-wood habitats. We compared the saproxylic beetle assemblages of 320 dead standing Scots pines within 52 pine forest stands in...
