The Role of Urban Environments for Saproxylic Insects
Original language description
The value of urban environments to saproxylic insect conservation remains largely unstudied but is known to vary depending on the number and density of trees as well as their age, distribution, and species composition. Perhaps the most important factor influencing the distribution of saproxylics in urban areas is the degree of isolation among suitable habitats. Solitary trees form one of the primary urban habitats for beetles and other saproxylic insects, especially those that possess cavities and other characteristics common to veteran trees. Linear woody vegetation corridors, such as avenues or vegetation along riverbanks, also form important habitats. Small groups of trees, like those in city parks, can also provide valuable resources for urban saproxylics, as can small forested areas, like those that also exist in parks, zoos, or other green spaces. Of the utmost importance are larger urban forests, but much depends on the management intensity of these areas. Urban areas are defined by high human
