This sessions aims to link researchers interested in broad topics and geographies surrounding one central theme: saproxylic insects. These deadwood dependent organisms are taxonomically, functionally, and phylogenetically diverse. They play key roles in forest ecosystem processes and account for a large portion of biodiversity within forests worlwide.
