“…Today, the inventory fi gure is about 2500 species (Brustel & Clary, 2000;Brustel, 2001), placing the Grésigne Forest at the 3 rd rank in Europe for the total number of beetle species, behind Fontainebleau Forest (3545 species: Cantonnet et al, 1997), and Bialowieza (2884 species: Gutowski & Jaroszewicz, 2001).…”

La forêt domaniale de Grésigne (Tarn, France) a été incluse dans le réseau européen Natura 2000 pour son exceptionnelle richesse entomologique, en particulier en coléoptères saproxyliques. Parmi les nombreuses espèces rencontrées, les trois qui fi gurent en annexe II de la Directive Habitat, Limoniscus violaceus, Cerambyx cerdo et Lucanus cervus, sont caractéristiques de divers habitats (cavités à la base des arbres, arbres mourants et bois en décomposition) et requièrent des règles de gestion particulières pour assurer leur préservation. Dans un premier temps, un «document d'objectifs» (Docob) a été établi en application de la Directive Habitat. Puis un nouveau plan de gestion forestière (2004-2021) a été élaboré, incluant des mesures pour préserver ces espèces à forte valeur patrimoniale: mise en place d'un réseau de vieux peuplements, augmentation du compartiment de bois de mort, conservation d'arbres ayant des cavités. Une partie de ces mesures est fi nancée par un contrat Natura 2000 sur la base d'un partenariat État français -Communauté européenne.

The study of insects inhabiting basal hollow trees presents a methodological challenge inducing the fact that there is very little research done on fauna of this habitat. Many endangered saproxylic species only develop in cavities located at ground level. One of the most emblematic species of the kind is the Violet Click Beetle (Limoniscus violaceus), included in Annex II of the UE ''Habitats'' Directive. Surveys have been conducted in five Natura 2000 areas using a new method to monitor L. violaceus: the emergence traps. A total of 376 beetle species, including 239 saproxylics, have been identified. Five are considered threatened and are registered on the European Red List of saproxylic beetles and three are included in Annex II of the ''Habitats'' Directive. Among 191 trees studied, 33 revealed the presence of L. violaceus. Sampling efforts required to detect at least one specimen have been evaluated. Our results show that sampling a minimum of 20 hollow trees in April and May with emergence traps is recommended to obtain a meaningful survey on the presence of the Violet Click Beetle.

Monitoring presence, abundance and survival probability of the stag beetle, Lucanus cervus, using visual and odour-based capture methods: implications for conservation

et al. 2014

A capture-mark-recapture study on the threatened saproxylic beetle Lucanus cervus was carried out in a chestnut (Castanea sativa) woodland located in northern Italy, using visual encounter surveys (VES) as well as aerial flight interception traps and pitfall traps (PT), both of which were baited with different odour lures. In total, 111 males and 25 females were captured, and VES was by far the most efficient method, accounting for 93 % of first captures, and 95 % of all captures. Stag beetles were not significantly attracted to any tested odour, and many PT were damaged by wild boars (Sus scrofa). Flying males were the most frequent adults observed during the season. The use of a net is necessary to capture the stag beetles, in order to evaluate the population parameters and to assess the local status of threat for the species. Capture data revealed that body size (i.e. body weight and elytron length) influences the survival probability of stag beetles, showing a lower survival probability for larger males. Felt-tip pen marking on the ventral sclerites of head and pronotum is a reliable and long lasting method for marking beetles, as proved by the use of an independent marking procedure with a small drill. Assessing the presence and threat status of L. cervus across Europe is urgently needed, and with no efficient odour-based strategy available, collection of adult beetles, dead or alive, by VES is the most reliable way to monitor this emblematic species
