Climate-induced forest dieback drives compositional changes in insect communities that are more pronounced for rare species

Sire et al. examine the effects of climate-induced forest dieback and salvage logging on insect diversity in silver fir Pyrenean forests using metabarcoding. Although no consistent variation in species richness was found, forest dieback cause massive changes in community composition particularly aff...
