Taxonomic and Trophic Groups Mediate Latitudinal Variation in Saproxylic Beetle Species Richness and Body Size Across Western Palaearctic Oak Forests

Taxonomic and Trophic Groups Mediate Latitudinal Variation in Saproxylic Beetle Species Richness and Body Size Across Western Palaearctic Oak Forests

ABSTRACT We examined latitudinal gradients in species richness and body size of saproxylic beetles across 28 veteran oak forest sites spanning from Israel to Norway. Focusing on 425 species from 11 taxonomic families and five trophic groups, we tested three hypotheses to elucidate: (i) family‐specif...
