    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Author : Andreas Schmidt; [2018]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : The area of wooded pasture in Europe has decreased drastically over the last centuries due to abandoned management. Herrevadskloster is a newly formed nature reserve in northern Scania with an unusually long continuity of being an open, grazed woodland containing large old trees. READ MORE

    Abstract : Linddynan (Biscogniauxia cinereolilacina) är en sporsäcksvamp som lever på död lindved. Svampen är värd åt fyra av de nio rödlistade och vedlevande skalbaggsarter som ingår i Åtgärdsprogrammet för skalbaggar på skogslind (Ehnström, 2006). READ MORE

  4. 13. Medium-term population development and responses to habitat conditions of a beetle, Osmoderma eremita, inhabiting hollow trees

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Olle Tranberg; [2016]
    Keywords : Osmoderma eremita; European hermit beetle; metapopulation; colonization and extinction; habitat; saproxylic species; tree hollows; Pedunculate oak; Quercus robur;

    Abstract : Old oaks play an important role in the southern Swedish landscape by maintaining available habitats for many saproxylic species, several of which today are on the international Red List of threatened species. Old oaks can develop important habitats, such as hollows with wood mould, which is the habitat for the European hermit beetle (Osmoderma eremita). READ MORE

  5. 14. Explaining population size of the saproxylic beetle Prionus coriarius as a function of available dead wood resources

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Isak Sarac; [2016]
    Keywords : pheromone; coleoptera; cerambycidae; dispersal; threshold; conservation;

    Abstract : Dead wood is an important substrate for many forest bound species including the large group of dead wood associated (saproxylic) beetles. Saproxylic beetles have species specific substrate requirements, that may vary according to factor such as tree species, object type, trunk diameter and decomposition stage. READ MORE

  6. 15. Artificial gap creation and the saproxylic beetle community : the effect of substrate properties on abundance and species richness

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Nils Bodin; [2016]
    Keywords : boreal forest; nature conservation; saproxylic beetle; artificial gap creation; restoration measure; coarse woody debris;

    Abstract : Coarse dead wood (CWD) and gaps are structures that have become sparse in Swedish forests as a result of forestry. This is believed to be one factor contributing to diminishing biodiversity. Because of political undertakings to preserve biodiversity, Swedish agencies and forestry companies now aim to restore these and other structures. READ MORE
