Many saproxylic insects are threatened by extinction, and a decline in the saproxylic species has been observed since the 1800s. The loss of areas of old-growth forest, fragmentation and the decline in volume of dead wood in managed boreal forests, have been found as important reasons for the observed decline. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not the size of old-growth forest fragments affects the species richness of different saproxylic insect groups, and to find what environmental variables best explain the species richness of these different insect groups. Such information is important for further conservation work. The insects were collected by window traps and by rearing of insects from sporocarps of Fomitops...
