   • Other nutritional subgroups, represented in smaller numbers, were cambivores (phloem and cortex feeders), detritrivores (necrophagous species) and wood borers (xylophagous species).2015, Jon Andersson, “Wood-inhabiting beetles in low stumps, high stumps and logs on boreal clear-cuts: implications for dead wood management”, in PLoS One
   • On average, obligate predators were more negatively affected than cambivores and facultative predators.2017, Jonas Victorsson, “Stump extraction in the surrounding landscape: predatory saproxylic beetles are more negatively affected than lower trophic levels.”, in Forest ecology and management
