Variation in abundances of individual beetles species along the two sampling transects.

<p>Large symbols: predicted abundances from log-linear models in dead and living forest in Kirkenes and Tana in 2011 and 2012. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. In cases where year effects were not supported by the model selection, only a single predicted value for each damage × location combination is presented, representing the overall estimate across 2011 and 2012. Small symbols: original datapoints, i.e. the observed station-specific counts of the beetle species in Kirkenes and Tana in 2011 and 2012, plotted against the airline distance from the first station in each transect. The degree of dead wood association for each species is given in parenthesis behind its name. O = Obligate saproxylic. F = Facultative saproxylic. N = Non-saproxylic. All saproxylic species except <i>Malthodes guttifer</i> are known to be associated with birch. Note different scales on the Y axis in the plots for Kirkenes and Tana for <i>Elateroides dermestoides</i> (A) and <i>Anthophagus omalinus</i> (G).
