Cependant, très peu d'études en milieu tempéré établissent clairement un lien entre les changements sylvicoles associés et la préservation de la biodiversité. L’enjeu de cette thèse est d’améliorer les connaissances sur lesquelles fonder des outils de conservation pertinents et favorables à la biodiversité, en adoptant les coléoptères saproxyliques comme modèle biologique. Le volume de bois mort a souvent été retenu comme un indicateur de gestion durable des forêts. Au travers d'une méta-analyse, nous avons cherché à appréhender son importance et ses limites en tant qu’indicateur de biodiversité. Nous montrons que toute augmentation du volume de bois mort est favorable à la biodiversité. Nous avons ensuite testé l'effet de la qualité de différents types de rémanents (essence, diamètre et stade de décomposition) sur la biodiversité afin d'identifier les principaux facteurs déterminant la composition des assemblages. Nos résultats montrent que les variables à l’échelle de la pièce de bois mort jouent un rôle important pour la biodiversité. Enfin, nous avons étudié la valeur écologique de zones abandonnées par la sylviculture (taillis-sous-futaie abandonnés depuis plus de 60 ans), et l'impact du raccourcissement ou de l'allongement de la durée de rotation en futaie régulière de chêne. Nous avons ainsi montré que les zones vieillies hébergent une plus grande biodiversité et que la diminution des rotations sylvicoles pourrait avoir un impact négatif. Par conséquent, la préservation des zones vieillissantes permettrait de favoriser la conservation de la biodiversité saproxylique. Cette étude est la première du genre en milieu tempéré. Malgré les résultats obtenus, de multiples questions se posent encore et de nombreux facteurs sont encore à étudier. Cemagref / Mots clés : gestion durable, biomasse, coléoptère saproxylique, bois mort, indicateur Forestry development for energy and conservation of saproxylic biodiversity d'Irstea Facing current energetic and ecological issues, public authorities forecast a strong increase in wood ouverte harvesting by 2020. Nevertheless, in the temperate biome, very few studies clearly link sylviculture changes associated with such an increase and conservation of biodiversity. The main issue of this Phd archive thesis was to improve the knowledge on which managers could build relevant conservation tools to : preserve biodiversity. For this purpose, we used saproxylic beetles as biological model. Deadwood volume has often been used as an indicator for sustainable forest management. Using meta-analysis, CemOA we tested the relevance of deadwood volume as biodiversity indicator. We showed that an increase in deadwood volume favours biodiversity, but this relationship remains weak for temperate forests. We then tested the effect of different logging residues qualities (tree species, diameter and decay class) on biodiversity in order to identify the main drivers of assemblages’ composition. Our results showed that piece of wood characteristics play an important role on biodiversity. Finally, we studied the ecological value of areas where management had been abandoned (coppices-with-standard where coppice had not been harvested for more than 60 years) and the influence of shortened or increased rotation lengths in oak high forest (160-300 years). We thus showed that overmature areas have higher levels of biodiversity and that shortened rotations lengths may have a negative impact on biodiversity. As a consequence, maintaining such overmature zones may help preserve saproxylic biodiversity. This study is the first to be conducted in the temperate biome. Despite the results obtained, many questions lay ahead and many factors remain to be studied.

    Household Insects of the Rocky Mountain States Bulletin 557A January 1994 Colorado State University, University of Wyoming, Montana State University Issued in furtherance of Cooperative Extension work, Acts of May 8 and June 30, 1914, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Milan Rewerts, interim director of Cooperative Extension, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado. Cooperative Extension programs are available to all without discrimination. No endorsement of products named is intended nor is criticism implied of products not mentioned. FOREWORD This publication provides information on the identification, general biology and management of insects associated with homes in the Rocky Mountain/High Plains region. Records from Colorado, Wyoming and Montana were used as primary reference for the species to include. Mention of more specific localities (e.g., extreme southwestern Colorado, Front Range) is provided when the insects show more restricted distribution. Line drawings are provided to assist in identification. In addition, there are several lists based on habits (e.g., flying), size, and distribution in the home. These are found in tables and appendices throughout this manual. Control strategies are the choice of the home dweller. Often simple practices can be effective, once the biology and habits of the insect are understood. Many of the insects found in homes are merely casual invaders that do not reproduce nor pose a threat to humans, stored food or furnishings. These may often originate from conditions that exist outside the dwelling. Other insects found in homes may be controlled by sanitation and household maintenance, such as altering potential breeding areas (e.g., leaky faucets, spilled food, effective screening).

The decline is characterised by a distinctive set of externally visible stem symptoms; bark cracks that “weep” dark exudate are found above necrotic lesions in the inner bark. Emergence holes of the buprestid beetle, Agrilus biguttatus are often also seen on the stems of oak within affected woodlands.
