Abstract excerpt
Understanding how forest management shapes genetic diversity is pivotal for the conservation of saproxylic beetles, key indicators of ecosystem integrity. However, the relative influence of spatial isolation versus anthropogenic modification on their genetic structure remains poorly understood across Central Europe. We investigated whether geographic location (forests spanned over 600 km W-to-E and 500 km S-to-N)...
