“…However, such efforts have been largely restricted to boreal and temperate forests (e.g., Similä and Junninen, 2012) whereas few studies have focused on dead wood in tropical forests. Thus, conservation strategies for tropical forests remain poorly developed despite the many threats facing saproxylic organisms in these regions, e.g., the conversion of natural forests to arable land or plantations, fragmentation, and the selective logging of old trees (Grove, 2002b;Lachat et al, 2006;Lindenmayer et al, 2012).…”

“…Schowalter et al, 2014). Also observational studies of dead wood in the subtropics and tropics are scarce (Grove, 2002b;Lachat et al, 2006), yet these regions hold some of the largest and most valuable forests with regard to biodiversity and ecosystem processes and services (Dirzo and Raven, 2003;Gaston, 2000;Shukla et al, 1990).…”

“…Plantation forests may have lower species richness of saproxylic insects than natural forests for several reasons. Plantation forests managed intensively for timber production typically have lower abundance of deadwood (Lachat et al 2006;Hoffman 2011). The occurrence of substrates with lower economic value, such as dead trees, is often minimized by intensive management.…”

“…This oversight is despite the well-recognized fact that the presence of wood-inhabiting organisms in deadwood attracts other organisms that are either predators of these organisms or their larvae (Fager, 1968;Harmon et al, 1993). This relationship has long been recognized and appreciated by entomologists and has generated some interest in research and management of biodiversity associated with deadwood Fager, 1968;Käärik, 1974;Deyrup, 1981;Araya, 1993;Bennett et al, 1994;Lachat et al, 2006). Such plant-animal interactions has been identified as one of the dominant biotic interactions Farrell et al, 1992) that sustains much of the terrestrial faunal diversity (Samways, 1993) through the support of ecological interactions that exist among terrestrial living organisms.…”
