Higher bat and bird γ-diversity in structurally complex forests is driven by distinct α- and β-diversity responses Open
Summary Effective conservation management and habitat restoration rely on understanding how biodiversity responds to environmental change. Centuries of silviculture have homogenized forests and their species communities globally, reducing …

Ein lang erwarteter Nachweis – Parazuphium chevrolati (Laporte, 1833) neu für Deutschland und Verbreitung der Art in der Westpaläarktis Open
The investigation of 44 mixed oak forest sites in Middle and Lower Franconia (Bavaria) with light traps resulted in the first record of Parazuphium chevrolati for Germany in June 2019. Known information on the species is compiled and the c…

Bat response to experimental insecticide application against a defoliating moth in mixed oak forests Open
Bats are important but threatened insectivorous predators, making them a core group to consider when weighing the risks and benefits of insecticide use for combating pest outbreaks. Bats may benefit from open spaces created when insect pes…

Nest mass in forest tits (Paridae) increases with elevation and decreasing body mass, promoting reproductive success Open
Based on the concept of the extended phenotype, bird nest characteristics can serve as indicators for adaptations to changing environmental conditions. We examined how the nest mass of three cavity‐nesting tit species (Paridae) varied acro…

Growth response of oaks to insect defoliation: Immediate and intermediate perspectives Open
In this study, we investigate the immediate and short-term consequences of defoliation by the spongy moth Lymantria dispar on secondary growth of oaks (Quercus robur L. and Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.), including the interplay between d…

Trait‐mediated responses of caterpillar communities to spongy moth outbreaks and subsequent tebufenozide treatments Open
Outbreaks of the spongy moth Lymantria dispar can have devastating impacts on forest resources and ecosystems. Lepidoptera‐specific insecticides, such as Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (BTK) and tebufenozide, are often deployed to pr…

Relative impacts of gypsy moth outbreaks and insecticide treatments on forest resources and ecosystems: An experimental approach Open
1. Gypsy moth outbreaks cause severe defoliation in Holarctic forests, both in North America where it is invasive, and in its native range in Eurasia. Defoliation can hamper timber production and impact ecological communities and processes…
