TL;DR: In this article, the authors surveyed Swiss conservation practitioners with the aim of identifying and prioritizing their needs in terms of useful scientific information, and a first inductive survey of a selected subgroup generated a list of relevant research questions that were reformulated to be generalizable to all main Swiss ecosystems.

TL;DR: An overview of retention in CCF in temperate regions of Europe, currently largely focused on habitat trees and dead wood is provided, and several areas with development potential for the future are highlighted.
Abstract: Retention forestry implies that biological legacies like dead and living trees are deliberately selected and retained beyond harvesting cycles to benefit biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. This model has been applied for several decades in even-aged, clearcutting (CC) systems but less so in uneven-aged, continuous-cover forestry (CCF). We provide an overview of retention in CCF in temperate regions of Europe, currently largely focused on habitat trees and dead wood. The relevance of current meta-analyses and many other studies on retention in CC is limited since they emphasize larger patches in open surroundings. Therefore, we reflect here on the ecological foundations and socio-economic frameworks of retention approaches in CCF, and highlight several areas with development potential for the future. Conclusions from this perspective paper, based on both research and current practice on several continents, although highlighting Europe, are also relevant to other temperate regions of the world using continuous-cover forest management approaches.

TL;DR: Cynipid occurrences offer information helpful to resolving some aspects of oak systematics, and collaborative efforts between taxonomic botanists and entomologists will be useful in resolving a variety of plant and insect systematic problems.
Abstract: Field surveys of cynipid gall-inducer occurrences on Quercus species were conducted in Florida, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, USA. All cynipids demonstrated strong host species and organ fidelity. One result of this specialization is effective niche partitioning among cynipids. The host-association patterns of these specialist herbivores should reflect similarities among oaks, thus we clustered oak species according to their cynipid distributions. Cynipids distinguished small differences among their hosts. A dendrogram of oak species based on cynipid distributions was largely congruent with botanical arrangernents. Cynipid occurrences offer information helpful to resolving some aspects of oak systematics. Collaborative efforts between taxonomic botanists and entomologists will be useful in resolving a variety of plant and insect systematic problems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used European national forest inventory data with 1.3 million plots to predict the distribution of the 12 thermophilic and rare tree species in Europe today and under future warming scenarios of +2.9 and +4.5°C, respectively.
