Influence of forest decline on the abundance and diversity of Raphidioptera and Mecoptera species dwelling in oak canopies

Trees in a state of decline exhibit a reduced foliage density and accumulate dead branches in their crowns. Consequently, forest decline can markedly affect both the habitats and sources of food for canopy-dwelling insects. The decline-induced increase in canopy openness may also modify the understo...
