Tree level indicators of species composition of saproxylic beetles in old-growth mountainous spruce?beech forest through variation partitioning
Original language description
Forest reserves can serve as an opportunity for studying natural processes in the wild. We studied the effect of easy-to-see tree level indicators on saproxylic beetles (Coleoptera), using window traps. Our study was conducted in old-growth mountainous spruce-beech forest Bukacka in the Orlicke Mts. (Czech Republic). Our analyses showed that the species composition of the study group and its response to tree level indicators in the relatively homogenous environment of old-growth mountainous forest areacould be explained reasonably well through variance partitioning. The results indicated that the decay stage was the category hosting the highest level of explained variance with respect to saproxylics, followed by diameter and tree. Red-listed beetle species were nearly the same associated with conifers and broadleaves. Our results highlighted the desirability of using tree level indicators to assess insect diversity, using window traps on tree trunk.
