Edge effects and beta diversity in ground and canopy beetle communities of fragmented subtropical forest.
Clearing of dry forests globally creates edges between remnant forest and open anthropogenic habitats. We used flight intercept traps to evaluate how forest beetle communities are influenced by distance from such edges, together with vertical height, spatial location, and local vegetation structure,...
