“…However, ongoing deforestation and forest degradation of tropical forests is likely to cause similar widespread regional extinctions of saproxylic species as witnessed in temperate and boreal regions of Europe (Grove, 2002a;Seibold et al, 2015). Thus, besides the conservation of pristine tropical forest, conservation strategies are needed in order to maintain saproxylic diversity in forests subject to selective logging, forest degradation and conversion to forest plantations (Basset et al, 2008;Grove, 2002b;Lachat et al, 2006Lachat et al, , 2007Tylianakis et al, 2007). For such strategies, there is an urgent need for research aimed at unraveling key relationships between habitat factors, management and biodiversity (Grove, 2002b).…”
