Traditional woodland management created a mosaic of differently aged patches providing
favorable conditions for a variety of arthropods. After abandonment of historical ownership …

Diversity patterns can show congruence across taxonomic groups. Consistent diversity
patterns allow the identification of indicator surrogates potentially representative of …

Forest canopies maintain a high proportion of arthropod diversity. The drivers that structure
these communities, however, are poorly understood. Therefore, integrative research …

Forest canopies host an abundant but often neglected diversity of arthropods, which
requires careful attention in times of ongoing biodiversity loss. Yet, how tree species …

Ecosystem functioning and human well-being critically depend on numerous species
interactions above-and belowground. However, unraveling the structure of multitrophic …

Although much is known about the ecology and functional importance of canopy arthropods
in temperate forests, few studies have tried to assess the overall diversity and investigate the …

Sustainable forest management increasingly favors mixtures, but effects on many ecosystem
characteristics, such as biocontrol by predators and their biodiversity, are still not well …

Human-induced biodiversity loss negatively affects ecosystem function, but the interactive
effects of biodiversity change across trophic levels remain insufficiently understood. We …

Globally, forests are under pressure to cope with an increasing human demand for forest
products, while the need to protect forest biota increases. Old-growth forests are reference …

Urban areas have increased greatly in recent decades, which has resulted in habitat loss.
However, the promotion of urban green spaces could have a profound effect on biodiversity …
