A cross‐continental comparison of plant and beetle responses to retention of forest patches during timber harvest
Timber harvest can adversely affect forest biota. Recent research and application suggest
that retention of mature forest elements (retention forestry), including unharvested patches …

Variable retention silviculture in Tasmania's wet forests: ecological rationale, adaptive management and synthesis of biodiversity benefits
SC Baker, SM Read - Australian Forestry, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
The recognition that biodiversity conservation requires more than a system of reserves has
led to the need to consider the outcomes of land management actions, such as timber …

Responses of litter-dwelling spiders and carabid beetles to varying levels and patterns of green-tree retention
J Halaj, CB Halpern, H Yi - Forest Ecology and Management, 2008 - Elsevier
We studied effects of timber harvest with green-tree retention on litter-dwelling predatory
arthropods (spiders and carabid beetles). Arthropods were sampled with pitfall traps at four …

Depth of edge influence in a Madagascar lowland rainforest and its effects on lemurs' abundance
Edge effects result from interactions between adjacent habitats, which can modify abiotic
and biotic conditions and produce various negative effects on biodiversity. Given the high …

Living near the edge: being close to mature forest increases the rate of succession in beetle communities
In increasingly fragmented landscapes, it is important to understand how mature forest
affects adjacent secondary forest (forest influence). Forest influence on ecological …

Arthropod assemblages deep in natural forests show different responses to surrounding land use
Many contemporary landscapes have vast areas of production land-uses within landscape
mosaics, which may impact species dispersal and occurrence. Here, we determined the …
