Classic studies have successfully linked single-species abundances, life-history traits,
assemblage structures and biomass of carabid beetles to past and present, human-caused …

Responses of carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) to urbanisation were studied along
an urban-suburban-rural gradient representing decreasing intensities of humandisturbance …

Forest management is known to influence species diversity of various taxa but inconsistent
or even contrasting effects are reported for arthropods. Regional differences in management …

Forestry plantations have been established globally to meet timber demands, often leading
to the conversion of natural to artificial forests. Forestry plantations may support natural …

Land use and land use change affect deadwood amount, quality and associated biodiversity
in forest ecosystems. Old growth or virgin forests, which are exceptionally rare in temperate …

Analysis of size inequality can shed light on coexistence mechanisms and help to interpret
patterns in assemblages. We tested several measures for their power to evaluate changes in …

Carabid beetles (Carabidae, Coleoptera) were sampled by pitfall trap** to determine the
effects of plantation forest management on beetle abundance, diversity and community …

Timber-oriented forest management causes significant changes to the environments,
threaten the survival of many native species and it is responsible for the primary forest loss …

As a fine-scale, manipulative model experiment leaf litter was added in plots to increase
habitat heterogeneity in a 50-year-old Norway spruce plantation, established after the clear …

Responses of isopod assemblages to urbanisation were studied along an urban–suburban–
rural gradient representing a decrease in the intensity of human disturbance. Pitfall trap** …
