eremita (Scopoli, 1763), and other flower chafer species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) were investigated by taking samples of wood mould, i.e. loose material inside the cavity, from 151 living hollow trees in two Mediterranean woodlands during August 2010. * Multi-species occupancy models estimate low occupancy probabilities for both O. eremita (ψ ± SE = 0.36 ± 0.13) and other flower chafer species (0.42 ± 0.06), which showed similar microhabitat requirements without competing. * In cavities where larvae of both groups were present, the probability of detecting O. eremita during the sieving of 2 l of wood mould was not affected by whether larvae of other flower chafers occur in the same sample and vice versa. * Unexpectedly, larvae of O. eremita were detected with a higher probability when larvae of other flower chafers occurred in the cavity. * Model selection statistics strongly support that increasing the sampled volume of wood mould increases the probability of detecting larvae, especially for O. eremita. * Wood mould sampling resulted in a reliable method for detecting the presence of O. eremita larvae, but further studies are needed to investigate the potential damage caused by this procedure in the fragile microhabitat of tree cavities. * To preserve populations of O. eremita and other flower chafers, management actions should be focused on increasing the density of hollow trees and the volume of tree cavities by favouring the natural ageing of trees and by creating artificial habitats in living trees.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default"

practices favourable to birds, we estimated the relative importance of stand structure (mean tree height, overstory and understory cover), stand composition (from pure conifer or broadleaved to mixed conifer-broadleaf stands) and climate (altitude, aspect) on mountain forest birds (Mont-Ventoux, southern French Alps and Giffre valley, northern French Alps). Studies were conducted on species richness in forest birds (separated into species preferring broadleaves, preferring conifers or indifferent) and in cavity nesters. Climate, structure and composition had roughly equivalent weights on mountain forest birds, but their relative importance depended on the species group. Due to very contrasted climatic conditions, bird communities were the richest at low elevations in the northern site and at high elevations in the southern site. The richness of many ecological groups increased log-linearly with mean tree height; however, a decrease was observed for certain ecological groups at the northern site for a tree height above ca. 20-25 m. Mixed conifer-broadleaf stands (Holm Oak, Downy Oak or Beech mixed with Scots or Laricio Pines on Mont-Ventoux; Beech or Beech with other broadleaves mixed with Spruce in the Giffre valley) did not have higher bird richness than pure stands. The negative impact of broadleaf presence on birds preferring conifers was not compensated for (Giffre valley), or barely so (Mont-Ventoux), by a corresponding positive impact on birds preferring broadleaves. Conifers do not appear to systematically support poorer bird communities than broadleaves; therefore, juxtaposing pure stands of different trees may be more sensible than insisting on mixed stands if such stands are hard to manage. Furthermore, the introduced Laricio Pine stands supported bird communities as rich as native Scots Pine stands on Mont-Ventoux. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
