“…Similarly, Foit (2015) found significantly influence of Pinus sylvestris felling date on bark beetles occurrence. At the same time, the estimation of bark beetles population density is of high theoretical and practical significance for nature and forest conservation (Borkowski and Podlaski, 2011). In the last years, more and more authors pay attention to ecological role of bark beetles as ecosystem engineers and keystone species, influencing forest regeneration and conversion (Müller et al, 2008).…”

Today, when somebody is talking about bark beetles management, there are two different approaches. The first one includes bark beetles in the category of pests and the second one includes bark beetles in the category of insects with important ecologic role in forest. From our point of view, up to particular limits, both approaches remain valid. Thus, in our research raise the problem of bark beetles population level into logging debris, which remains in the forest after clear-cutting. In our research, we started with the hypothesis that in logging debris a high number of bark beetles can multiply sufficient to install after that in neighbors standing trees. From our samples resulted seven bark beetles species as follows: Ips typographus, Ips amitinus, Ips acuminatus, Pityogenes chalcographus, Dryocoetes autographus, Hylurgops palliatus, Hylurgops glabratus. The most numerous were I. typographus (43%), P. chalcographus (40%), and H. palliatus (9%). The preferences for the thickness of logging debris had just P. chalcographus and H. palliatus. All the rest of the species preferred in equal mode thick or thin logging debris. Regarding the felling date of trees, we can affirm that cutting of trees early in spring may limit the beetles spreading. About logging debris management, our results show the necessity of their removal from forest and capitalization, because they are hosts for many bark beetles.

“…The stem surface area (S) of trees or forests plays an important role in the eco-physiological processes such as stem respiration (Gavrikov 2015a;Katayama et al 2019;Zhao et al 2019), selfthinning mortality (Inoue and Nishizono 2015;Gavrikov 2014Gavrikov , 2015b, and rainfall interception (Iida et al 2017;Jeong et al 2020). The S has also been widely used as a measure of potential stem growth (Lexen 1943;Husch et al 2003), and it represents a habitat for various insects (Borkowski and Podlaski 2011;Borkowski and Skrzecz 2016). Despite its importance, S has received less attention for the last half century (Swank and Schreuder 1974;Gavrikov 2017).…”

“…These are the topic of four papers included here (Ranius and Roberge 2011;Svensson et al 2011;Hébert et al 2011). While it is beetles are the principle insect saproxylics of concern in forest ecosystems, invasive beetles can be significant factors in forest health (Borkowski and Podlaski 2011), and they are far from the only insects and other invertebrates to be considered. Examples of others groups included here are spiders (Hsieh and Linsenmair 2011), millipedes (Galanes and Thomlinson 2011), bees (Abrahamczyk et al 2011), and a leaf-mining weevil (Kenis and co-workers 2011).…”

Biodiversity and conservation of insects and other invertebrates

The thematic issue of Biodiversity and Conservation devoted to the biodiversity and conservation of insects and other invertebrates is introduced. The issue comprises 23 original research papers covering diverse habitats from forests to grasslands, ponds and rivers to coasts, and the tropics to boreal regions. Amongst the organisms discussed are ants, bees, beetles, butterflies, crabs, microgastropods, millipedes, spiders, and weevils. Some of the difficulties of conserving the most species-rich groups of eukaryotes, in the face of ignorance as to their identities and positions in ecological processes, are noted and the precautionary principle is seen as a pragmatic and responsible approach.The insects, and other speciose groups of invertebrates, pose particular challenges for understanding and conserving biodiversity. Not only do they constitute the vast proportion of all eukaryotes so far recognized, huge numbers of insect species (perhaps 85% or more) have yet to be formally named. This situation is only marginally better than that in the even more poorly known fungi. As a result of generations of collecting and documenting by both naturalists and professional entomologists, the inventories of some insect groups, such as butterflies and orthopterans, are much more complete; these are, however, the exception.Yet the extent to which such taxa can serve as surrogates for other insects in conservation action plans, has to be questioned because of the disparate ecological niches occupied. A major challenge for conservationists is the protection of little-known, or unknown organisms, responsible for key ecological processes that are critical to the maintenance of Earth's ecosystems. These range from agricultural lands to tropical forests
